I'm a little stumped. I have an Applescript which successfully processes
RTF on the clipboard into Markdown text, and can do... something with
it, either save it into a temp file or store the results in a string in
Applescript. The problem is getting it into the BBEdit document.
What I want to do is make it behave like the Paste command: either
insert the new Markdown text at the insertion point, or replace the
selected text if there's a selection. But so far I've had no luck in
figuring out how to do this -- if there's a simple "insert text 'foo'"
command, I haven't found it.
Here's the script as it is. (As you can see, it relies on an
HTML-to-Markdown script that's on my local system -- it'd be nice to be
able to move a copy of that script into a BBEdit 10 package, but one
thing at a time, right?) I can get the result text as "myText," but the
only thing I've been able to successfully do is create a new document
and set the text to that variable -- workable, but not what I actually
want. I need to figure out what happens at "do something here" to let me
either replace a selection or just insert the text.
set theRTF to the clipboard as «class RTF »
set theUserFolder to (path to home folder as text)
set thePath to "tmp:temp.rtf"
set newFile to open for access file thePath with write permission
write theRTF to newFile
close access newFile
set myText to do shell script "textutil -stdout -convert html
/tmp/temp.rtf | /usr/local/bin/html2text"
tell application "BBEdit"
-- do something here!
replace "\\r\\r\\r" using "\\r\\r" searching in text 1 of front
document options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false,
extend selection:false}
end tell
