Hi:

I'm trying to write an Applescript that uses BBEdit to do a grep-=based replace. My code currently looks like:

tell application "BBEdit"
    activate
    --set foo to  window
open j opening in new_window
    tell text document 1
        activate
        set searchStr to "2007-08-\\d\\d"
        set replaceStr to "<!--MODDATE-->" & mod_date & "<!--\\/MODDATE-->"
replace (searchStr as string) using (replaceStr as string) options {search mode:literal, starting at top:true} searching in text 1
                       ^^^^^^^

substituting "grep" for "literal" here should give some improvement (been there, done that)
