the principle of the script was to create folders and sub-folders, then create a new document in one of them with my text editor, save it with a title, bringing it to the front for entry.
If you delete everything after the 'tell application "Finder"' clause and insert
set briefDoc to (POSIX path of briefFolder) & "$.tasks" do shell script ("touch " & briefDoc & "; mate " & briefDoc)
it should do what you want. I have to say that the use of a dollar sign as a file name scares me a bit because it's a special character in the shell, but with this change the script worked for me.
(I am curious why the creation of the Captures folder isn't put into a 'try/on error' block like the creation of the Briefs folder, but I'm sure you have your reasons.)
I have posted an entry on MacScripter, to hear that TextMate was "poorly scriptable, even Standard Suite is badly implemented". any solution to contradict that?!
TextMate is certainly not as AppleScriptable as BBEdit, but it is far more scriptable with Perl, Python, Ruby, and the shell. In my book, this is a big win for TextMate and the reason I switched a couple of years ago.
