You can change the application which opens a file via "Get Info" but how can you do it via Applescript?
Changing the "file type", "file creator," and "original item" properties via a finder script doesn't do it. I notice that when you change it using "Get Info" the "kind" property changes but that property is "read only" to the finder script.

I'm not sure that I understand well your question.
Maybe this may help :
set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "erreur Numbers.rtf"
set path2app to path to application id "com.barebones.textwrangler"
tell application "Finder" to open file aFile using path2app
It opens the text file in TextWrangler. Replace the id by the BBEdit one to achieve your goal.
Sorry I wasn't clear. Using your example, I want to permanently change the application which opens "erreur Numbers.rtf" to textwrangler when I double-click on it from the finder. I don't want to open "erreur Numbers.rtf" via a script. I can change this via "Get Info" from the finder but I would like to change it via a script. Hope that's more clear :) Steve
Oops, I wrongly posted directly to your mailbox.
I see no other way than GUI Scripting.
set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "erreur Numbers.rtf" as alias
tell application "Finder" open information window of aFile end tell tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" tell first window to tell first scroll area set popUp to first pop up button click popUp --name of menu items of menu 1 of popUp click menu item "LibreOffice.app (5.0.1002)" of menu 1 of popUp end tell end tell
