Re: Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Yeah plain strings in the (Run Unix Filter | Options… | Arguments:) field
such as Hello world pass in as expected.

Even when you hardcode arguments in the Run Script step? If you've

something else is wrong. Maybe node scripts have different methods of

Re: Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Thanks Charlie,

I tried including a couple of those BBEdit ENV vars in the arguments field:
$BB_DOC_NAME $BB_DOC_PATH

These arguments don’t come through so I suppose that meant they resolved to
null.

Only arguments that come through are those that are there even if I don’t
explicitly pass through any additional arguments:
["/usr/local/Cellar/node@8
/8.12.0/bin/node","/Users/ollie/Scripts/bin/js/extract-post/index.js"]

Which are paths to the executable running my script, and the script itself.

I wondering if the issue lies *between* BBEdit and Node.js. I’ll do some
experiments with shell scripts instead. Perhaps I can call out to my
Node.js script from bash or something.

Strings starting with `$` will be vars from the 'environment', so you 
can use things like `$HOME` as part of arguments. Search the BBEdit 
manual for environment vars; there are some custom ones supplied by 
BBEdit. The `#` character is also either a comment marker, or triggering 
a replacement I'm not familiar with.

Thanks Charlie,
I can pass in strings (space separated splits them into separate args as
you suggested). The manual is rather trim on details on this feature, no
mention of placeholders working here. Although experimenting randomly I
found strings starting with $ or # appear to be ignored, but I expect that
is nothing to do with BBEdit.

I would expect the Arguments to be space-separated (same as you would 
use on command line). Check the manual for more details; there may be 
placeholders you can use to grab ENV vars.

Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Dear BBEditor,

What does one enter in the *Arguments*: field in the options for the *Run
Unix Filter* Options dialog? And how are these arguments made available to
the unix script?
[image: text-factory-unix-filter-arguments.png]
Why? you ask…

I’m hoping there is a means to pass the path/file name of the Text
factoried file to my Unix Filter (Node.js script).

These are the current env vars provided to my node script:
{
"SHELL": "/bin/zsh",
"TMPDIR": "/var/folders/nh/ztnj0gf16vj5vc4012pw1lrmgn/T/",
"Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render":
"/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.fqgVlq7mRd/Render",
"SUDO_ASKPASS":
"/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/XPCServices/BBShellCommandXPCService.xpc/Contents/SharedSupport/sudoaskpass-helper",
"USER": "ollie",
"COMMAND_MODE": "unix2003",
"SSH_AUTH_SOCK": "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.bW5qk4zRJf/Listeners",
"__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING": "0x1F5:0x0:0x2",
"PATH": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
"PWD": "/",
"XPC_FLAGS": "0x0",
"XPC_SERVICE_NAME": "com.apple.xpc.launchd.oneshot.0x1007.BBEdit",
"SSH_ASKPASS":
"/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/XPCServices/BBShellCommandXPCService.xpc/Contents/SharedSupport/sshaskpass-helper",
"SHLVL": "1",
"HOME": "/Users/ollie",
"LOGNAME": "ollie",
"DISPLAY":
"/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.mtxd7Q1mzv/org.macosforge.xquartz:0",
"SECURITYSESSIONID": "186a7",
"_": "/usr/local/opt/node@8/bin/node"
}

Having the path to the processed file will allow me to generate an
additional file in the same parent directory as the original. I want to
extract some text from the first file and place it in a second generated by
my js script.

A Text factory is useful for me here as these files are many and exist in a
deep tree of directories.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
Cheers
Ollie
