It seems like this should be easy, but everything I've tried has
failed. I'm trying to do a find and replace, then delete from a given
text point down to the end of the document. Here's my latest effort:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
open "test.txt"
replace "°°" using "
" searching in text 1 of text window 1 options {search mode:literal,
starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
tell text 1 of text document 1
set find_results to find "
@rule:" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap
around:true, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false,
extend selection:false}
set theStart to selection's characterOffset
set theEnd to last character of text 1 of text document 1
set (characters theStart thru (theStart + theEnd)) to ""
end tell
save window 1
close window 1
end tell
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The error I get highlights
"last character" and gives the message: "BBEdit got an error: An
attempt was made to resolve an Apple Event reference to a non-existent
object (MacOS Error code: -1728)"
