Re: setting insertion point at a line

Woah, I hadn't thought of that (reading in the file and computing the location of paragraph n). I like works! But seems a little silly as you mention :) I was wishing I knew how to insert a Build Message object into XCode and then select it. If you can even do such a thing. It seems like the only thing that has a line number location in the XCode dictionary?

I'm trying to tie an error/file/line number output (from a separate build/compiler) to kick in the editor at that point in XCode.

But thank you so very much!! This gets me going!

This may be a silly way to do it, but it does work:

display dialog "What line?" default answer "1"
set n to text returned of result as integer
tell application "Xcode"
    tell text document 1
        set s to (get text of it)
        set len to length of text from paragraph 1 to paragraph n of s
        set selection to insertion point (len + 1)
    end tell
end tell

That puts the insertion point at the end of the requested line. m.
