My goal is to delete the saME PARAGRAPHS in a series of TXT files

the paragraphs I need to delete are always the same

beginig from par at line 9, then . line 7 then line 3

I use this script:

*tell* *application* "BBEdit"

*set* theLineNumber *to* *line* 9 *of* *text window* 1

*set* theLineReference *to* (*line* theLineNumber *of* *text document* 1)

*delete* *every* *character* *of* theLineReference

*set* theLineNumber *to* *line* 7 *of* *text window* 1

*set* theLineReference *to* (*line* theLineNumber *of* *text document* 1)

*delete* *every* *character* *of* theLineReference


*set* theLineNumber *to* *line* 3 *of* *text window* 1

*set* theLineReference *to* (*line* theLineNumber *of* *text document* 1)

*delete* *every* *character* *of* theLineReference

*end* *tell*



However I always get this error


*error* "BBEdit got an error: macOS error code: -1702" number -1702



I choose to delete from the last line (Line 9) of my document hoping to get 
the others to continue deleting


However I don't understand the error


Is there a way to fix this?


ThaNKS A LOT
