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. -- Best Regards, Chris -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
