Reading Data from Text Window into a Shell Worksheet
Hey Folks,
Today I was prototyping some shell stuff for an Applescript, which I sometimes
do in a BBEdit worksheet due to the extra quoting necessary in Applescript. I
like to get it working before I have to futz with the quoting.
Anyway. Today I didn't feel like bothering to save my test data to a file and
working from that, so I thought there has to be a better way...
I thought about using text from an unsaved window, and after a few minutes of
wrestling to get the syntax right I came up with this:
WIN=untitled text 11
echo -e tell application \BBEdit\\nreturn text of text window \$WIN\\nend
tell 21 | osascript \
| tr '\r' '\n' \
| awk '/src=.+\.jpg/ { print }' \
| sed -En '/a href=.+nyet/{
s/.+(http:.+\.jpg).+/\1/p
}'
I thought the general principle might be of use to someone, and I'm interested
in better ways to accomplish this task if there are any.

Best Regards,
Chris

Have a look at shell tools pbcopy and pbpaste. They can copy stdin into the
clipboard and copy the clipbnoard to stdout.
I miss them on my Linux box.
date | pbcopy
cat somefile | pbcopy
pbpaste | tcsh
Are a particularly useful things to keep around in a bbedit worksheet.
