hi, first post to this forum, after switching from BBEdit to TextMate. while I'm discovering everyday the benefit of this change, I came across a syntax problem with a Applescript I was using successfully with BBEdit.
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. changing the app to TextMate, I get an error: [quote] AppleEvent Handler failed: expect end of line but get "to" [/ quote]
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?! below the script in question:
set theFolder to choose folder with prompt "Create/Choose Client Project folder" try set briefFolder to ((theFolder as text) & "Brief") as alias on error tell application "Finder" to set briefFolder to make new folder at theFolder with properties {name:"Brief"} end try tell application "Finder" set capturesFolder to make new folder at theFolder with properties {name:"Captures"} end tell tell application "TextMate" -- was BBEdit set briefDoc to make new document at beginning with properties {name:"$.tasks"} -- was "$.todo" save briefDoc to ((briefFolder as text) & "$.tasks") end tell tell application "TextMate" to activate -- was BBEdit
-- cheers, Pascal
