Sweet! I now have a keyboard shortcut defined for it.

Thank you!

Hey Jon,

Sure you can.  Something like this will work:


tell application "BBEdit"
set winList to text documents whose name contains "untitled" and on disk is 
false
repeat with i in winList
close i without saving
end repeat
end tell


And you can get much fancier if you want to.

Re: Close multiple files without saving

[Jon Hill]

Thanks! Is there a way to "Close *Selected* Documents" without asking about 
saving?

Re: Close multiple files without saving

[Fletcher Sandbeck]

Close All Documents, Cmd-Option-W, brings up a single dialog listing all the 
documents so you can select which to save or none. Hold down Option when you 
hit the window close box and it seems to do the same thing.

Close All Windows, Cmd-Option-Shift-W, is similar but seems to ask about each 
document individually.

Close multiple files without saving

[Jon Hill]

I frequently open a new text file with the clipboard and eventually end up 
with many "untitled text nn" files open. It would be nice if I could close 
them en masse without selecting "Don't Save" for each one. I gotta figure 
there is a way... Is there?? I can select them all, but when I click a 
close box on one of the selected files, it asks if I want to save and only 
closes the one file, not all of the selected files.
