Haha - holy ..., it works like a charm :) Allan, thanks a lot, you saved my day!

I've already played with "mate" but I didn't come up with the obvious one.
If this works then I thought that this should also work:

TextMate.system('"$TM_MATE" -l"$TM_LINE_NUMBER:1-$TM_LINE_NUMBER:1000000"', null)

and yes :) - due to that this scripting language I'm working on does not allow long lines.


So my line of code is now:

TextMate.system('[[ -z $TM_SELECTED_TEXT ]] && "$TM_MATE" -l"$TM_LINE_NUMBER:1-$TM_LINE_NUMBER:1000000"', null);


Kind regards,
Hans
