Here is a simple but nice example. I use this to insert the URL from Safari's front window as an HTML link. I have a clipping "Insert Safari URL" (in Universal Items) that contains only one line. <a href="#script get_safari_url#">#SELECTIONORINSERTION#</a> The Applescript itself is much more complicated - it contains two lines ;-) tell application "Safari" to set the_url to URL of front document return the_url I saved this script in the same folder the clipping is in. Of course it must be named "get_safari_url.scpt" to match the clipping's text. So, whenever I need a link to the currently open Safari page, I simply select the text I want to turn into a link and invoke the clipping. This is a quick and dirty solution and might fail under certain circumstances but it works fine for me. To connect this example to the topic of the thread: I like BBEdit because I consider it a successful balance of powerful features, flexibility and accessibility (in the sense of "I have a good feeling for what the editor is capable of and don't have to be a black belt ninja coder to conjure functionality by some kind of magic finger dances on my keyboard"). happy clipping, Roland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
