Dear TextMate experts,
I would like to execute the shell script myscript.sh from within TextMate. The script myscript.sh takes a file name as argument and does something with the file (it indents the file correctly; for this, it calls emacs in batch mode). So if I use sh myscript.sh myfile.R the script works perfectly fine, i.e., it indents the source code contained in myfile.R. I would like to have textmate do this for me on the file I am working on when I use a certain key combination.
Using the Bundle Editor, I created a new command "tidy" with key equivalent "shift+command+T". As the actual command, I put in: sh /path_to_my_script/myscript.sh "$TM_FILENAME"
Unfortunately, this does not work. I set "Input" to "Entire Document" and "Output" to "Replace Document" (currently I obtain an empty document after "shift+command+T").
How can I trigger the shell script, such that the current content of myfile.R is replaced by the (quietly generated) output of myscript.sh?
Below is the script
Many thanks in advance,
Marius
