Hey Folks,
I vaguely remember some discussion about this but can't seem to find it.
Is there a parameter for a worksheet for its path on disk? (Not the working
directory.)
I can certainly do something like this:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wsPATH=`osascript -e '
tell application "BBEdit"
set AppleScript'"'"'s text item delimiters to ":"
return (posix path of (((text items 1 thru -2 of ((file of front document)
as text)) as text) & ":"))
end tell
'`;
if [ "$wsPATH" != "/missing value/" ]
then
ls -1la@ "$wsPATH";
else
echo "Oops! Somebody save me!";
fi;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But that's far from pretty...
Offloading the script itself to a library is quite a lot cleaner.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wsPATH=`osascript ~/"Library/Application Support/BBEdit/BBEdit_lib/bbLib.scpt"
"wsPath"`;
if [ "$wsPATH" != "/missing value/" ]
then
ls -1la@ "$wsPATH";
else
echo "Oops! Somebody save me!";
fi;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem I'm working on at the moment is this:
When I'm testing or learning new things I often duplicate a worksheet to create
a save-point, so I don't foul up code I've gotten working (and won't remember
accurately a few hours hence). I may also alter my data files to fit the
direction I'm moving.
I get tired of having to reset hard file paths, so I want to be able to make
them relative to the worksheet.
With what I've got I can auto-set the working directory or just create relative
paths, but I'm curious to know what other people have done.
