I'm pretty clueless with Applescript so please bear with me. I want to copy text from a Safari table, paste it into a new BBEdit window and do some text manipulation, mostly finding and replacing. I managed this with the old Tex-Edit Plus (not TextEdit) which is unfortunately 32-bit. With T-E+ I would paste the text from the clipboard with the commands make "new window", "paste", "select window 1" and then use a "replace window 1 looking for..." command. When I try recording something in BBE I get the line replace "[original text]" using "[replacement text]" searching in text 1 of text document "*untitled text ##*" ... — i.e. a named doc as opposed to simply the front doc. Not a surprise, but what do I replace "untitled text ##" with?
