I am trying to delete the last section of a web page with AppleScript. I
search for a comment near the end of the page and then search backwards for
the div. So far so good. Having selected that div with the find command, I
can t delete the selection.
I have tried...
delete selection
set the selection to ""
set selection to grep substitution of ""
They have all worked at some point but not reliably.
What am I missing here?
TIA
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
find "<!-- right column -->" searching in text 1 of text document
"indextest.html" options {search mode:literal, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false,
extend selection:false} with selecting match
set t to find "(^\\s*<div class=\\\"day_report\\\">(?s).*?</div>\\r)"
searching in text 1 of text document "indextest.html" options {search
mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:true, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} with selecting
match
if the found of t then
set selection to grep substitution of ""
end if
end tell
