Greetings, folks!
I want BBEdit to return the number of times a text string appears in the
files in a directory. The following works to replace any such text:
tell application "BBEdit" to replace "text1" using "text2" searching in
{file "path:to:directory:"}
But I can’t figure out how to get the number of text strings found. The
following always returns a count of “1” (there are hundreds):
tell application "BBEdit" to return count (find "text1" searching in {file
"path:to:directory:"} options {showing results:false}) -- the script errors
out without the “options {showing results:false}”; it also errors out with
“options {showing results:true}”.
Thoughts?
Blessings, and thank you!
