Hey Verdon,
Any special reason you're activating this with a clipping rather simply putting
your script in the script menu?
When you 'return chords' you're getting back something similar to:
characters 2 thru 42 of text document 1 of application "BBEdit"
BBEdit then want to use this to replace the text you've already replaced with
the script, but the data types don't match up.
Why not just use a script in the first place?
tell application "BBEdit"
tell selection of front text window
replace "(\\w+)" using ¬
"[\\1]" options {search mode:grep, case sensitive:false}
end tell
end tell
