Hey David,
Here's an amended version of your script that works with BBEdit 10.5.2 (3259):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
set myDoc to text document 1
set myReplacementString to "hello"
find "###" searching in text of myDoc options {search mode:literal,
starting at top:false} with selecting match
set selection of window of myDoc to myReplacementString
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's how I would write it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
set myReplacementString to "hello"
tell text of text document 1
find "###" options {search mode:literal, starting at top:false}
with selecting match
set text of selection to myReplacementString
end tell
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I'm assuming you have a reason for using find/replace rather than just
replace.)
