It looks like I'm trying to reinvent the wheel, but I can find a way to do this:
1) replace ^\s with nothing
2) replace \s$ with nothing
in a single string
The following lines don't work, because of the "^":
set pathstring to " /path/to/my file.stuff "
tell application "BBEdit"
replace "^\\s" using "" searchingString pathstring options {search
mode:grep}
end tell
But when I remove the "^", the space within the path is also removed, which I
don't want.
Also, I find it's too bad the remove prefix/suffix/prefix and suffix don't have
a grep option.
