I am trying to do something that *should* be relatively simple, I want
to grab a bunch of files (whose names start with the same string) in an
arbitrary folder and open them in BBedit....
I can figure out how to identify these files, but can't seem to pass
the filenames back to BBedit
i.e. here is the finder part
set theItem to (choose folder) as string
tell application "Finder"
select (every file of folder theItem whose name begins with "AS ")
end tell
so, my little finder snippet correctly identifies the files I want to
send to BBedit, but I can't figure out how to get these filenames into
a bbedit tell statement
i.e.
tell application BBEdit
open <filenames>
end tell
thanks for any advice....
