Hey Terje, You can't manipulate a Text Factory with AppleScript. What you want to do can be done, but it will need to be done with a script and not a Text Factory. What I would do personally (for speed and flexibility) is use the Satimage.osax AppleScript Extension <http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads/downloads_companion_osaxen.html> and save the find/replace patterns to a file. That makes saving new patterns and maintaining them simple. It will also be much faster than doing numerous serial find/replace operations with BBEdit's native methods and allow for a single undo operation. I'd probably use two scripts: A) Open Massage OCR pattern file in BBEdit appending selected text (if any) script B) Massage OCR text script That would let me test my pattern before running it with the main script (B). If you want to pursue something like that I'll help you. -- Best Regards, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
