HI!
I'm not familiar with scripting, so please forget me if the question is too
basic or out of scope.
I would need to learn how to automate a simple search-replace (eventually
with greps) grep that would run only on the selected text of the front
BBEdit window.
The idea is to trigger the find-replace with a keyboard shortcut.
I guess it could be done with Applescript, something like:
*tell* *application* "BBEdit"
*tell* *front* *text window's* *text*
*set* _selection *to* contents *of* selection
* set* newText *to* "(here the grep "find" and "replace"
patterns, in this case "<p" and "somethingelse <p" )
* set* *text* *of* selection *to* newText
* end tell*
*end tell*
Could someone give me a hand with this?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Pablo
PS: i'm attaching a screen capture of the search itself, not a grep in this
case.
