Thanks René
You gave me the crucial clue but, for the record, it's (for example)
TM_SELECTED_TEXT="some text" TM_SELECTION="14:6-14:15"
and it's the second one I was missing.

That part works, thanks.
What seems to have changed from TM1 is that when $TM_SELECTED_TEXT is set all of
$TM_LINE_NUMBER $TM_LINE_INDEX $TM_CURRENT_WORD $TM_CURRENT_LINE
are blank. The first two at least I need. Is this a bug?
Hi Richard,
I think the way TextMate exports the current selection has changed. `TM_SELECTED_TEXT` is now always set, even if there is no selection. It contains the current line number and column number. If there is a selection it contains both the start and end position in the form: `start_line:start_column-end_line:end_column`. You can also see the content of this variable at the very left in the status bar after the text “Line: ”.
`TM_LINE_NUMBER` and `TM_LINE_INDEX` in TextMate 1 seem to be the line number and column number of the “end” of the selection. We can get these values in TextMate 2 by using `TM_SELECTED_TEXT`. We apply the following steps:
- Split on `-` then get the last part of the resulting list
- Split on `:` and check how many items the resulting list contains
2.1. If it contains one item then this item is the line number (`TM_LINE_NUMBER`). The column number (`TM_LINE_INDEX`) is 0. 2.2. If it contains two items, then the first one is the line number and the second one is the column number.
Kind regards, René
