Hey Murat,
Do not make a habit of using the result variable in AppleScript. It's too
mutable and makes debugging more difficult.
When you search a file on disk BBEdit's file search browser is activated, and
the found result of the AppleScript is omitted.
To get a found result you can do something like this.
set fileAlias to alias "MyHD:Users:UserName:Downloads:Test.ccs.txt"
tell application "BBEdit"
set docRef to open fileAlias
set foundRec to (find "Now.+" searching in docRef options {starting at
top:true, search mode:grep}) # with selecting match
end tell
To use this script you have to change the path to the file.
Let's make that just a bit more turnkey.
set fileAlias to alias ((path to downloads folder as text) & "Test.ccs.txt")
tell application "BBEdit"
set docRef to open fileAlias
set foundRec to (find "Now.+" searching in docRef options {starting at
top:true, search mode:grep}) # with selecting match
end tell
Now if we have the file with the same name in the same relative location there
is no need to change the path.
You could also write that using a Unix style relative path. BBEdit
set filePath to "~/Downloads/Test.ccs.txt"
tell application "System Events" to set fullFilePath to POSIX path of disk item
filePath
tell application "BBEdit"
set docRef to open fullFilePath
set foundRec to (find "Now.+" searching in docRef options {starting at
top:true, search mode:grep}) # with selecting match
end tell
