Re: Applescript to change line breaks ?

[Bernardo]

OK, I reply to myself. It works with:

set docList to every text document
> repeat with doc in docList
> tell doc to set line breaks to DOS

Applescript to change line breaks ?

[Bernardo]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an Applescript to change open documents line breaks to 
DOS (CRLF), so I wrote:

on processOpenDocs()
> repeat with thisDoc in documents
> tell thisDoc to set line breaks to DOS
> end repeat
> end processOpenDocs
>

But it throws an error telling "Unix" is an undefined constant (I tried 
with Mac or Unix with the same result).
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Re: Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

Thanks John.
This version works :)

property startAtTop : true
property wrapAround : false
property caseSensitive : false
property matchWords : false
-

tell application "BBEdit"
- set prev search string
set prevSearchString to current search strings
try -- prev search string not always exists
set prevSearchString to search string of prevSearchString
on error
set prevSearchString to ""
end try
 perform search
set theChoice to display dialog "Search current document for:" default 
answer prevSearchString
if button returned of theChoice is "OK" then
set searchOpt to {starting at top:startAtTop, wrap around:wrapAround
, backwards:false, case sensitive:caseSensitive, match words:matchWords}
tell window 1
set findRes to find text returned of theChoice options 
searchOpt with selecting match
if findRes's found is false then beep
--set search string of current search strings to findRes -- 
seems useless
end tell
end if
end tell

Re: Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

Thanks for your reply, John.
Unfortunately, Applescript editor complains about an expected end of line 
on the word "search" at the first line... I don't know why.

Re: Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

OK, I found this applescript that could do the job but, as I'm a total 
applescript newbie, I don't know how to retreive the last search string 
(the one which populate the built-in search dialog). This prev search 
should replace in the following PREV_SEARCH_STRING script.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

Don't you think a checkbox for "Start at top" in the Search/Replace dialog 
would be more convenient?
Live Search is great, but it's another kind of Search.

Re: Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

Concerning start searching at top in the frontmost document, I performed 
this search before my first post but only found users asking the same 
feature.
I just did a new search without finding any workaround, only the "Wrap 
around" option, which is different.
Some users say to look into an option in the Search dialog, but they are 
old posts, with the old modal dialog.

So, it is no longer possible to seach a documlent directly from its top?

Than you.

Search, start at top and other things

[Bernardo]

Just upgraded BBEdit from 9.6 to 12... Lots of nice features, but 
searching/replacing text aren't now convenient!

I loved to use cmd-F to start searching *from the top* of the document, 
wherever insertion point is. With old versions, I remember this advanced 
setting could be use:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit FindDialog:RememberStartAtTop -bool YES
but it no longer seem to work :(

Modal dialog for search/replace text was also very convenint. There is no 
way to have this option again, like in old versions?

Another very anoying thing: I'm using several Clipping sets and I can't 
figure how to display *only one* *set* in a clipping palette (instead of 
having all clippings in a huge palette). Clippings management was more 
convenient in 9 version.

Thank you.
