I am now at a point that I want to automate a rather large process. I have started with Mac OS Automator to get this done.

I am using the Search and Replace action with BBEdit within Automator.
I am basically doing a search for several different specific lines of text, which start an ad. I then want to replace it with key/value pairs. I usually do this with the Find function manually, but I am attempting to automate the entire process.
Example:
Find:
"REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS:"

Replace with:
PUB DATE: 3/15/07\r
ADNUM: 1\r
CLASS: 04 Service and Construction Bids\r
AD TEXT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS:\r

and a second search:
"ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS"

Replace with:
PUB DATE: 3/15/07\r
ADNUM: 2\r
CLASS: 04 Service and Construction Bids\r
AD TEXT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS:\r

This would continue with 15 or more search/replace.

I set it up Automator, however I am getting in the log: Mac OS error -10660 I am using Automator because I will eventually set up about 20 different workflows.
What am I doing wrong?
