I'm trying to write a script to change my JSTOR URLs to the proxy version
that works for my school. It should copy the URL from the URL field, change
the URL by a simple string substitution, and paste the result to the
My_Proxy_URL field.
It seems to be working up until somewhere in the replaceChars step. I'm sure
I'm just making some beginner's mistake. Here's my script:
-------------
tell application "BibDesk"
set theDoc to document 1
set thePubsSel to the selection of theDoc
repeat with thePub in thePubsSel
set theURL to the value of field "URL" of thePub
if theURL contains "links.jstor.org" then
set theURL2 to replaceChars(theURL, "links.jstor.org",
"0-www.jstor.org.skyline.cudenver.edu")
set My_Proxy_URL to theURL2
end if
end repeat
end tell
----------------
Here's the Event Log:
tell application "BibDesk"
get document 1
document "Anthro Bib"
get selection of document "Anthro Bib"
{publication 8 of document "Anthro Bib"}
get value of field "URL" of publication 8 of document "Anthro Bib"
"http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610%281972%2914%3Cii%3ATAOATH%3E2.0.
CO%3B2-P"
replaceChars("http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1558-8610%281972%2914%3Cii%3A
TAOATH%3E2.0.CO%3B2-P", "links.jstor.org",
"0-www.jstor.org.skyline.cudenver.edu")
"BibDesk got an error: Can't continue replaceChars."

Thanks for any suggestions.
