Text filter question

[Greg Raven]

I have three text filters in my BBEdit Text Filters folder. Two work, but one doesn't.

This works:

#!/bin/bash

csscomb assets/css

This works:

#!/bin/bash

js-beautify

This doesn't:

#!/bin/bash

jshint

If I open the Terminal.app and navigate to a folder containing a JavaScript file, I can type in ...

jshint analytics.js

... (for example) and get a report as expected. I can also invoke the other two from the command line and have them work as expected.

Any thoughts on what I'm missing?

It looks like JSHint requires a dash to indicate that it should read content from standard input. Many CLI tools read from stdin by default when they don't see a file name specified, but others require - or another parameter to trigger this behavior.

#!/bin/bash

jshint -

Hope this helps,

D’oh! I didn’t read down that far. Thanks, Fletcher!
