Which text gets passed ot a text-factory
Text factories, as far as I can tell in my limited use of them, either act on all the text in the document, or on the selected text. Is there any way to make a text-factory behave like the Hard Wrap menu item? That is to say, operate on the current line/paragraph if nothing is selected? If BBEdit did not have a Hard Wrap function and you had to recreate it via a text factory, would it be possible? Also, is it the case that to attach a script to a menu item it must be an AppleScript? Reading page 290 never states this, but all the following examples are AppleScripts, even the one that calls `do shell script`. -- I told you...BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM Don't call me Junior. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.

If you mean employing a text factory as a _text filter_[1], that's correct, and these same conditions apply to every type of text filter and to all Text menu commands (other than Hard Wrap). [1: Please refer to this post for some additional background: https://groups.google.com/group/bbedit/msg/d5ac144d340bdd8a?hl=en ] Is there any way to make a text-factory behave like the Hard Wrap menu item? That is to say, operate on the current line/paragraph if nothing is selected? There is not, since BBEdit will send only the selected text to it. If BBEdit did not have a Hard Wrap function and you had to recreate it via a text factory, would it be possible? Not with a text filter, though one could do this with a suitable script. Also, is it the case that to attach a script to a menu item it must be an AppleScript? Reading page 290 never states this, but all the following examples are AppleScripts, even the one that calls `do shell script`. Yes; attached scripts must be AppleScripts. (Though that's all the parent chapter deals with, I can see how this may not be apparent in local context and will clarify same in the next turn of the manual.)

No, Patrick, this can be done with a text filter. For example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Text::Wrap;
$Text::Wrap::columns = 72;
my @text;
while () { push @text, $_ }
print wrap('', '', @text);

For example: [...code elided...] I know this is splitting hairs :-) but I did not mean one can't wrap text with a text filter (since as you observe this is certainly possible); I meant that a filter cannot change the scope of the text it receives, while a script can choose text arbitrarily.

Re: Which text gets passed ot a text-factory
In our previous episode (Friday, 01-Mar-2013), Maarten Sneep said: Does the Hard Wrap command work in this way? As far as I can tell it acts on the whole document if nothing is selected, and strictly on the selection if there is one. Much like a text filter (yes, I know you're asking for text factories here, but it seems that that in itself is not the limitation). I use Hard Wrap (via option-Command-') many times a day. It acts on the current line if there is not a selection, and otherwise on the selection. This is in 10.5.2. -- 'Witches just aren't like that,' said Magrat. 'We live in harmony with the great cycles of Nature, and do no harm to anyone, and it's wicked of them to say we don't. We ought to fill their bones with hot lead.' -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.
