Hey Charlie,
I just posted my other solution before I saw yours.
I hadn’t thought of using Perl’s `open` - too focused on the bbedit
commandline tool! I’ll see how —-append works when used this way…
Thanks!

I’ve tried variations on pipes etc, and this might be a limitation
of Perl’s `system` function.
Correct, don't use `system`. Try this instead of the `system` line:
```
open(my $bb_fh, '|-', "bbedit —-worksheet —-append
$worksheet_filename")
or die "Couldn't open a pipe to bbedit: $!";
print $bb_fh $initial_content;
```
Or at least something close to that. See here for more info:
