I want a BBEdit script available via the services menu. The script is to replace a term with a string containing the term.
Problem is that the following script (also enclosed) returns an Applescript
error, having replaced the blanks in the original text in the text window.
Apparently noBlanksName is not just a string of text, but still a reference
to 'text of characters 1 thru 14 of text document 1', so the replace
command operates on the original document, not a local string.
What stupid AppleScript/BBEdit trick am I missing?
