Hey Rich,
I left that broad intentionally, because TJ didn't specify he wanted to avoid
same, nevertheless you're probably right. :)
I mostly use text documents and shell worksheets myself.
Where do you see the most likelihood of unintended consequences occurring?
One could take safety a step further and require an Auto-Save-ON setting in the
document to be saved.
----------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
set docList to (documents whose on disk is true and modified is true)
repeat with theDoc in docList
try
if (contents of lines 1 thru 5 of theDoc) contains "Auto-Save-ON"
then
save theDoc
end if
end try
end repeat
end tell
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm limiting the “header text” to the first 5 lines above, but that's easily
adjusted.
One could automate the emplacement of the auto-save-setting:
----------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text document
tell (first line whose contents is "")
set its contents to "# Auto-Save-ON" & linefeed
end tell
end tell
end tell
----------------------------------------------------------------
One could check the doc-type and use the appropriate comment character for that
type.
Many things are possible with BBEdit and a little bit of AppleScript.
