I just wanted to let everyone know that I was able to get BBEdit (in classic using
applescript
1.6 ) from inside BBEdit to automatically run the current window of perl code via the
terminal.
In case you didn't know, any file with a ".command" extension in OS X
will be run via the terminal if you double click it in the finder
or write an applescript to OPEN that file via the finder.
So I wrote a simple shell script that runs my perl scripts in
my local cgi-bin folder.
Then I wrote an applescript that tells the finder to open the
shellscript.command file which the finder sends to the terminal app to run.
I then placed this complied applescript in the script folder for BBEdit
so that the applescript is in the BBEdit menus for quick access.
works great!
I also wrote version that sends it to the my browser to run
to use with cgi and form input data testing etc... Now whatever
you are writing in BBEdit can be run from BBEdit via the scripts menu.
I have in my BBEdit menu
run via terminal
run via browser
This does the job fine until the REAL BBEdit for OS X released ; )
Later
