Hi Gari,
Use this script for a 90 characters line width:
*tell* *application* "BBEdit"
*set* vCount *to* 91 - (startColumn *of* selection)
*set* vTxt *to* ""
*if* vCount > 0 *then*
*repeat* vCount *times*
*set* vTxt *to* vTxt & "*"
*end* *repeat*
*end* *if*
*return* vTxt
*end* *tell*
name it *line-of-asterisk.scpt* and place it in the *same folder* as the
clipping.
And use this clipping with just the filename:
#SCRIPT line-of-asterisk.scpt#
See BBEdit 15.1 manual p. 336.
