AppleScript migration and Catalina!

[WaMa]

I'm going to be migrating from Tex-Edit to BBEdit -- long overdue -- but need some help rewriting some AppleScripts so they'll do the same thing in BBEdit. 

Could someone please help me here? How would this script, for instance, need to be written for BBEdit?

-----

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"

activate

open file "HD:Users:wama:Desktop:file.txt"

set insertion point before contents of window 1 to "sku,product-id,product-id-type,Price,item-condition,Quantity,add-delete,will-ship-internationally,expedited-shipping,standard-plus,item-note

"

replace window 1 looking for "\"" replacing with ""

replace window 1 looking for "," replacing with "^t"

replace window 1 looking for "

" replacing with "

"

save window 1 with creator «class TBB6»

quit saving ask

end tell

Hi, 

Have look into Text Factories which I believe should be able to accomplish what you are looking for. 

Best, 

Holger

This is true. However, in cases where scripting is necessary,
the following may be useful to know:

1. BBEdit and Tex-Edit have very similar support for the AppleScript
text suite. They will differ in the details of some application-
specific verbs ("replace" is a good example), but in
general you
should be able to get pretty far by looking up a verb in
the Script
Editor's (or Script Debugger's) dictionary browser for BBEdit.

2. When scripting BBEdit, it's very important to avoid targeting
"window" objects for text operations. Instead, target a
document or
its text, as appropriate: "document 1" or "text of document
1" give
you the active document or its text, respectively.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
