Hey Venkat,

Here's a commented version that may help.

Re: How to Create Finder Folders from BBEdit Text List

[Dave]

If you have a space in a folder name, you’ll get two folders unless you quote 
it. Not what I’d call “blowing up.”

I only tried it with 330 names. I’m sure there’s a limit, but I don’t know what 
it is. If you need more folders, make more lists. Or use a loop if it makes you 
happy.

Hey Venkat,

That's a little bit tricky but not overly difficult.

Inserting a breakpoint above the current line

[Venkat]

I'm trying to replicate a behavior as close as possible to a package in 
Sublime Text. This concerns python, but I'm guessing it can be extended to 
other programming languages as well. I want to insert a breakpoint at the 
point at which I place a cursor. So in the current code block

for a in range(10):
   a+=1
   b+=1
   c+=1

What I want to do is if my cursor is anywhere on the c+=1 line, I want to 
place a breakpoint line directly above it using a quick keyboard shortcut 
to a clipping, so as to get this:

for a in range(10):
   a+=1
   b+=1
   pdb.set_trace()
   c+=1

where pdb.set_trace() is the command that inserts a python breakpoint at 
that point in the code. I know I can create clippings and map keyboard 
shortcuts to them. I was wondering if it was possible to take it a step 
further so that* the clipping is inserted in the line above where the 
cursor is, and is agnostic of cursor location in the line, and also obeys 
the indentation in code. *

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Chris it works perfectly, unfortunately I am not an Applescript expert …

Re: How to Create Finder Folders from BBEdit Text List

[ThePorgie]

I couldn't get this to workSo as an absolute last resort I peeked at 
the manual. ;-). According to the manual "Control-Return" should be used. 
That worked like a charm for me.

This will blow up if your list of folder names is too long, or if your 
folder names contain spaces.
