Thanks Christopher,

I am copying and pasting found text

tell application "BBEdit"
    activate
    find "<div class=\"placeholder\">" searching in text 1 of text document 
"index.html" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap 
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, 
extend selection:false} with selecting match
    set theResult to balance tags
    set t to the text of selection as string
    set t to "<div id=\"page_main\">" & return & t & "</div>"
    set the clipboard to t
end tell
...... and in the second script...

find "(?s) This is the template for monthly sightings.*?Check in WYSIWYG 
mode and save again\\.<br>\\r" searching in text 1 of text document "Month 
2013.htm" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap 
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, 
extend selection:false} with selecting match
    paste

This works as expected. I realise that I could set a variable to the text 
of the selection but I'm still stuck in my old HyperCard ways ;?)
