Hi Rick,
I now do:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Removes trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) from the file.
#
osascript << ENDOFSCRIPT
tell application "Xcode"
set myFile to associated file name of front window
save the front document
do shell script "perl -pe 's/[\t ]+$//g' " & quoted form of myFile & "
> ~/.xc-save.$$; mv ~/.xc-save.$$ " & quoted form of myFile
end tell
ENDOFSCRIPT
but this leaves my editor window empty since no buffer gets written back
in. But as soon as something gets written back in the buffer is modified,
hence not saved. Is there a catch-22 here?
Cheers, Fons.

The problem with your current script is that the output of an Xcode user
script is buffered until the end of the script, as is appropriate in
most cases. In your case, since you want to execute more actions (an
applescript save command) after the output goes to the document, I'd
suggest using another applescript command to dump your output to the
document instead of doing so with the user script's output destination.
You can manipulate text documents in Xcode with applescript similarly to
how you can in other applications.

Hi Rick,
many thanks that help, to use "document". However, what I try to
achieve is to have a user script that:
- strips all trailing blanks and tabs from a file
- saves the file
I tried:
- Input: "Entire Document"
- Directory: "Home Directory"
- Script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Removes trailing blanks (spaces and tabs) from the file + save.
#
perl -pe 's/[\t ]+$//g' <&0
osascript << ENDOFSCRIPT
tell application "Xcode"
save the front document
end tell
ENDOFSCRIPT
but this does not work as the save is of the document before the perl
modified text is pasted in. How can I make such a two step script?
Cheers, Fons.

Hi,
something very trivial. I want to save the Xcode front window via
osascript:
tell application "Xcode"
save front window
close front window
end tell
only closes but does not save the window. What script command should
I use? write to file? If so how do I get the type?
tell application "Xcode"
close front document saving <yes/no/ask>
end tell
