Thanks Again Chris
How can I loop this to a folder of choice?
I tried to insert it in your previous suggestion
but I receive various errors:
this is what I did
*tell* *application* "BBEdit"
*set* frontWin *to* *front* *text window*
*set* docIDList *to* ID *of* *documents* *of* frontWin *whose* on disk *is*
*true*
*repeat* *with* docID *in* docIDList
*delete* *line* 3 *of* docID *in* docIDList
*delete* *line* (7 - 1) *of* docID *in* docIDList
*delete* *line* (9 - 2) *of* docID *in* docIDList
*end* *repeat*
*end* *tell*
*I get this error*
*error* "Can’t get docID of {116, 115, 114, 113, 112, 111, 109, 108, 107,
106, 105, 104, 103, 102, 101, 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90,
89, 88, 87, 84, 117, 118, 119, 110}." number -1728 from docID *of* {116,
115, 114, 113, 112, 111, 109, 108, 107, 106, 105, 104, 103, 102, 101, 100,
99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 84, 117, 118, 119, 110}
