Re: Weird Xcode/Interface Builder behaviour in AppleScriptObjC

This happens from time to time when I copy a piece of code from a browser, try to edit it, I'll run into errors that just don't make sense, so I will paste the page into, or open it with BBEdit, and run Menubar --> Text --> Zap Gremlins... and most all the time that will resolve the problem.

It was such a nuisance sometimes that I wrote a small script that zaps the gremlins as I paste. Instead of CMD-V to paste from the web, I have assigned the little routine CMD-SHIFT-V, and that way when I use it it's already clean.

John,

Thank you for your advice. I passed the problematic file through AppleScript editor, saved it as a text file then replaced the file in the Xcode project and now all seems well.

Thanks again

Terence;

Try recreating the entire project exclusively in AppleScript. That may help.

Sincerely
