______________________________________________________________________ Hey TJ, Eh? Are you saying the content was deleted? The document should only save if it has been saved to disk once already, which lets you operate on documents you don't want to save. What version of BBEdit? What OSX? You ran the script from where? Oh – if you ran it via osascript from a text filter then of course it didn't work. It should be saved as a compiled AppleScript using the Script Editor.app and run from BBEdit's Script menu. -- Take Care, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
