I was using Open File By Name before this. Up until now its behavior of
staying open when I selected files was something I found annoying, but this
time it's been useful.
Thanks for your assistance -- the script I came up with is entirely
shell-based:
#!/bin/zsh
if [[ $BB_DOC_PATH =~ "ruby" ]]; then
bbedit ${BB_DOC_PATH/ruby/javascript} ${BB_DOC_PATH/ruby/python}
fi
if [[ $BB_DOC_PATH =~ "javascript" ]]; then
bbedit ${BB_DOC_PATH/javascript/ruby} ${BB_DOC_PATH/javascript/python}
fi
if [[ $BB_DOC_PATH =~ "python" ]]; then
bbedit ${BB_DOC_PATH/python/javascript} ${BB_DOC_PATH/python/ruby}
fi
This seems a little awkward to me -- and it's slower than I would have
expected -- but it works. I originally tried something that used things
like ${BB_DOC_PATH/ruby/**} to use the clever ** trick that you used and
I'd completely forgotten about, but it doesn't seem to work with the
script. (I tried escaping the asterisks with backslashes and putting the
argument in quotes, but neither one worked.)
