The clipboard contains a the name
of a file that I want to open in BBedit, convert, save and then open in MS
Word. I can record the actions in BBedit but I have to assign the contents
of the clipboard to a variable(FILENAME) and use the variable in the open
command as below. I don't know how to use the variable in the open command
with proper syntax.
tell
application "BBEdit"
activate
make new text
window
set FILENAME to (the
Clipboard)
set
FILEPATH to "G5 Office Server Drive:Upload to AMC:" &
FILENAME
open {FILEPATH} with
LF translation
zap gremlins text 1
of text window 1 zap action delete_gremlin with filter linefeeds, non ASCII
characters and controls
save text window
1
close text window
1
close text window
1
end tell
This returns an error message
that "G5 Office Server Drive:Upload to AMC:123456HP.rtf"" does not
understand the open message.
Can I open
MS Word with Applescript? If so I would like to be able to execute a macro
I wrote in VisualBasic ... can this be done in
Applescript?
Thank you for any
help.
