Hey There,
Part of the problem is that you're not working from a selection. You don't
have with selecting match in your find specification.
Take a look at this and see if it's close to what you're trying to do.
set theFile to alias "Thor:Users:chris:test_directory:test.txt"
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
open theFile opening in new_window
tell text of text document 1
replace "°°" using "\\r" options {search mode:literal, starting
at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false}
set find_results to find "\\r@rule:" options {search mode:grep,
starting at top:false, wrap around:true, backwards:false, case sensitive:false,
match words:false, extend selection:false}
delete (characters (get characterOffset of (found object of
find_results)) thru -1)
end tell
end tell
