I can't figure out why this AppleScript is not working. I'm trying to do the
following:
Starting with a selection of multiple lines, beginning at a line start and
ending with a return, I want to:
(1) shift the selection one increment to the right;
(2) add an opening div tag before it, preceded but the number of tabs that
preceded the first line of the selection before the shift;
(3) add a closing dive tag after it, similarly tabbed.
The script runs fine, and returns what I would expect, until the last action,
the Replace line. But the replacement replaces all the text with two garbage
characters.
Several variants for addressing the target string are listed, but it's not
working either way.
Here's the script. Any help -- or an easier approach -- is welcome. Thanks.

set vEnd to characterOffset + length
end tell
set vOpeningTag to vTabLeader & vOpeningTag
set vClosingTag to vTabLeader & vClosingTag
tell document 1
set vTarget to a reference to characters vStart thru vEnd
-- OR set vTarget to characters vStart thru vEnd
tell contents of vTarget
-- OR tell vTarget
replace "(?s)(.+)" using vOpeningTag & "\\1" & vClosingTag options
{search mode:grep, showing results:false, extend selection:true}
end tell
end tell
end tell
