Hey Folks,
I don't normally think about Text Factories, because I personally find them
awkward to work with compared to scripts (usually).
Nevertheless Rich's comment made me take a new look – since I hadn't for quite
some time.
It was relatively trivial to turn the following shell script and AppleScript
into two different Text Factories that operate on files in a specific folder
path – thus saving a fair bit of scripting.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sed '
3d
7d
9d
'
on ApplyTextTransform(fileData)
set fileData to paragraphs of fileData
set item 3 of fileData to 0
set item 7 of fileData to 0
set item 9 of fileData to 0
set fileData to text of fileData
set {oldTIDS, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text
item delimiters, linefeed}
set fileData to fileData as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldTIDS
return fileData
end ApplyTextTransform
** This AppleScript is NOT designed for huge files, although it runs nearly
instantaneously on a 5000 line file on my system.
•• NOTE ••
To run on disk items a Text Factory MUST be located in BBEdit's Scripts folder:
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/
To run on the front text document (or the selected text in it) a Text Factory
must be located in the Text Filters folder:
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/
Text Factories are not completely intuitive, so it's a good idea to review them
in BBEdit's User Manual.
