Hello,
I am new to BBEdit. I have searched this forum but have not been able to
locate a discussion relevant for my problem. I am maybe doing something
stupid but, I cannot make BBEdit find an HTML using it through Applescript,
in a document that definitely includes this tag.
My simple script is:
tell application "BBEdit"
open (alias "path to my file") -- this file opens, no problem, using
the real path that I do not give here
set result to (find "<title>" searching in text of text window 1 with
selecting match)
set mytext to text of text window 1 -- this text is good and contain
then <title> tag
end tell
But the tag is not found and the result variable is not created with the
result of the search.
I can search <title> directly in BBEdit, and it of course finds it.
I have tried to escape then < and > characters but of course this does not
make sense for Applescript either. These characters do not need escaping I
think.
I am a bit lost here because I do not see why BBEdit cannot find the tag in
a file that contains it. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Very cordially,
Murat
