Thanks, Rich and Christopher. It has now come back to me that the process I
used most was in two parts, 1) a short script invoking 2) separate lists of the
numerous changes involved, each list easily generated from a database and each
change occupying one line. TextFactory needs around fifteen XML lines per
change, anathema to my old bones.
I have found one ancient script where the list is actually in the script :
tell application "BBEdit 4.0"
activate
copy (choose file) to sourceFileName
open sourceFileName
-- ••• Replace characters
replace Every Occurrence searching for "Ü" using "<" case sensitive yes
start at top yes
replace Every Occurrence searching for "†" using ">" case sensitive yes
start at top yes
replace Every Occurrence searching for "Ì" using "<cm>" case sensitive
yes start at top yes
replace Every Occurrence searching for "≈" using "â" case sensitive yes
start at top yes
replace Every Occurrence searching for "Å" using " " case sensitive yes
start at top yes
replace Every Occurrence searching for "" using "ï" case sensitive yes
start at top yes
Will this sort of thing still work ? Saving this script caused Script Editor to
hang, so I cannot test it.
