OK, I'm pretty sure this is an easy one, but since I have close to zero experience with AppleScript, I have to ask:
Could anyone please help me with a script that gets the path to the containing folder of the current (open, frontmost) text file of BBEdit? Concrete use: I would then add to the script the command to delete from that folder files by extension. When running pdflatex, I get lots of auxiliary files that are not needed, so I intend to use such a script for "cleaning up" the folder, to be left only with .tex and .pdf files in that folder. I would add to the script something like: *tell* *application* "Finder" *delete* (*every* *item* *of* *folder* (*path to* filePath) *whose* name *does not* *end* *with* ".tex" *or* ".pdf" *or* ".eps" *or* ".bbprojectd" *or* "tags" *or* ".ist") *end* *tell* But the hardest part is getting that filePath...
