Hi Neil,
This AppleScript snippet might help you understand how BBEdit sees the
project document hierarchy.
set v4Spaces to " "
tell application "BBEdit"
set vProjectDocument to first project document
set vProjectCollections to project collections of vProjectDocument
repeat with vProjectCollection in vProjectCollections
my logProjectCollection(vProjectCollection, space)
end repeat
end tell
on logProjectCollection(aProjectCollection, aIndent)
tell application "BBEdit"
set vClass to (class of aProjectCollection) as string
if class of aProjectCollection is project collection then
log (aIndent & vClass & " 🗄: " & (name of
aProjectCollection) as string) & space
repeat with vSubProjectCollection in aProjectCollection
my logProjectCollection(vSubProjectCollection, aIndent
& my v4Spaces)
end repeat
return
else if class of aProjectCollection is project item then
set vPath to POSIX path of ((file of aProjectCollection) as
string)
else if aProjectCollection is not missing value then
set vPath to POSIX path of ((aProjectCollection) as string)
end if
if vPath ends with "/" then
set vType to "📁"
else
set vType to "📄"
end if
if vClass is "«class furl»" then
set vClass to "url"
end if
log aIndent & vClass & " " & vType & ": " & vPath & space
end tell
end logProjectCollection
HTH,
Jean Jourdain
