Hi,
I'm new to TextWrangler scripting. I see from some messages in the TextWrangler
archives that BBedit is quite similar so am posting here as well, just in case.
I want to have a script tell TextWrangler to open a specified file, add a
timestamp to the beginning followed by a couple of blank lines, and position
the insertion point so the user can enter some stuff immediately after the
timestamp.
This almost does what I want.
tell application "TextWrangler"
activate
open (file named thisCommentFile)
set myTimeStamp to current date
tell front document
set text 1 to (("-- " & myTimeStamp as string) & " --" & return
& return & return) & (text 1)
tell text 1
select insertion point before line 2
end tell
set bounds of front window to {550, 216, 950, 680}
end tell
end tell
However, in the case that the user starts to enter some info, then gets
interrupted and goes away, I would like the file to automatically save and
close after a few minutes with no text entry activity, thereby saving the
already entered info to that point.
I tried delaying after the open, but that has the side effect of not being able
to run the script again before it has completed the timeout delay. In the case
that the timeout save and close has not yet occurred and the user runs the same
file open script again, I just want the already opened file to pop to the front.
So the question is, how can the save and close timeout be implemented?
Thx for any help.
Ken
