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
