David,
A couple of reasons your script is not working:
• `if vDocument is FTP then`
As this is not in a `tell application "BBEdit` block, AppleScript
interprets
the `is` as the equals operator `=` as in `if Document = FTP then`.
To interpret the `is FTP` as a BBEdit `Document` property AppleScript
needs the
BBEdit terminology which is imported by the `tell application "BBEdit"`.
There is a second issue. `is FTP` is a property of `vDocument`.
This should be stated as `is FTP of vDocument` or in the shorter
possessive
form `vDocument's is FTP` (note the `'s`).
• `FTPInfo`
This property of `Document` should be spelled `FTP info` in two words
as
indicated in the BBEdit terminology.
Here is a snippet that seems to work on my setup:
use AppleScript version "2.7"
use scripting additions
--
on trace(aMessage)
set vDesktopFolder to POSIX path of (path to desktop folder as
string)
set vTraceFile to vDesktopFolder & "trace.txt"
do shell script ("echo" & space & (the quoted form of aMessage) &
">>" & (the quoted form of vTraceFile))
end trace
--
on documentDidSave(vDocument)
try
tell application "BBEdit"
if class of vDocument is text document then
if vDocument's is FTP then
set vFTPInfo to FTP Info of vDocument
set vFile to vFTPInfo's file
set vHost to vFTPInfo's host
set vURL to vDocument's URL
my trace("is FTP file" & linefeed & vHost &
linefeed & vURL)
else
my trace("is NOT FTP file")
set vFile to vDocument's file
end if
set vPosixPath to POSIX path of (vFile as string)
my trace(vPosixPath)
my trace("")
end if
end tell
on error aMessage
display alert aMessage
end try
end documentDidSave
HTH,
Jean Jourdain
