Saving BBEdit Text Files

Subject: Saving BBEdit Text Files

I have a folder named "Databases" on my desktop containing 400+ text files saved from a pc.

My current procedure is to:

"Open" them in BBEdit one at a time > select "Save As" > choose "Options" > select Macintosh for "Line Breaks" > "Save" > "Replace".

I'd like to use AppleScript to automate this process. I got the following script by using the "Record" option, but it obviously is incomplete for all the files in the folder.


tell application "BBEdit 6.5"
	activate

        open {file "KOT OS X:Users:mkot:Desktop:
        Databases:ACU-CL-00.txt"} with LF translation

        save text window 1 to file "KOT OS X:Users:mkot:Desktop:
        Databases:ACU-CL-00.txt"

        close text window 1
end tell

Can someone put me on the right track?

Thanks,

Mark
