I'm puttering around with a RealBasic project and have a
particular need -- I need for it to be able to tell BBEdit to
open a text file and jump to a particular line in the file.
I've taken a quick look at the BBEdit Applescript directory and
nothing obvious jumps out and hits me in the face, nor does
Google bring much joy.
You've got a couple choices. Probably the simplest would be to
use the command line tool:
bbedit /Path/To/MyCoolFile.cp:34
If you need to use AppleScript, you could do it like this:
do shell script "bbedit /Path/To/MyCoolFile.cp:34"
If you can't count on the tool being installed, try this:
tell application "BBEdit"
set d to open "/Path/To/MyCoolFile.cp"
tell d to select line 5
end tell
