Another option of note … 😃 … 😶… anyway. The BBEdit command line utility has a
note flag.
So this should work
tell application "BBEdit"
set docList to text documents whose name starts with "untitled" and on
disk is false
repeat with theDoc in docList
if (length of theDoc's text > 0) then
set theContent to theDoc's text
do shell script "echo " & quoted form of theContent & "
| /usr/local/bin/bbedit --note"
close theDoc
end if
end repeat
end tell
This will leave a bunch of open notes.
Mostly I mention it because it’s good to know that `bbedit --note` exists.
