I make regular use of the ability to run scripts (of all kinds) from within 
BBEdit making sure the shebang line is properly set.  I’d like to take it a 
step further and pass the contents of the current document to something 
else, for example, graphviz.

To create a PNG file based on graphviz code, the command line would look 
something like this:

 dot -Tpng code.dot

if code.dot is my active BBEdit document which contains the graph code, how 
can I pass this file into a command line like the one above?

I’m just using graphviz as an example - I might want to do this with any of 
a number of different data files, etc.  I realize I could probably do this 
via APpleScript, but I'm hoping there's a way to make it as elegant as 
BBEdit's native shell script integration. 

Thanks!
