Hi David,
`try ... on error` blocks are very useful for debugging scripts.
Before porting it to a Document Script, test your logic in the Script
Editor where you can use the `log` and `display alert/dialog` commands to
debug.
Use `the quoted form of` for paths included in your `do shell script`
commands, otherwise any space in the path will break your command.
This example snippet run from the Script Editor might help you.
tell application "BBEdit"
try
set vDocument to first text document
if vDocument's is FTP then
set vFTPInfo to (vDocument's FTP Info) as record
set vFile to vFTPInfo's file
set vHost to vFTPInfo's host
* -- set vURL to vFTPInfo's URL -- WARNING: triggers an
error even though the property exists and is visible in the results pane.*
set vURL to vDocument's URL
log {vHost, vURL}
else
if vDocument's modified then
save vDocument
end if
set vFile to vDocument's file
end if
log vFile
set vPosixPath to POSIX path of (vFile as string)
log vPosixPath
do shell script "ls -al" & space & the quoted form of vPosixPath
on error aMessage
display alert aMessage
end try
end tell
HTH,
Jean Jourdain
