Hey Oliver,
tell application "BBEdit"
tell text of front text window
set fRec to find "[ \\t]*\\S+[ \\t]*" options {search
mode:grep, backwards:true}
if found of fRec = true then
delete text of found object of fRec
end if
end tell
end tell
I've changed this a bit to delete any whitespace to the left of the cursor +
any contiguous non-whitespace + any remaining whitespace.
As you can see it only deletes if something is found, and it deletes the text
of the found-object directly.
