I am trying to return an error message if I script a find command in
applescript using BBEdit. That is, if the searched string is not present in the
text being searched, I want the script to display an error message and cancel
the script.
My syntax is:
try
find sigfindname searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search
mode:literal, starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} with selecting
match
on error errmsg
display dialog errmsg
end try
sigfindname is a variable for a string created upstream in the script.
The applescript totally ignores my command in the TRY statement. Any
suggestions? I also tried using an IF/THEN command using a FALSE result
returned, but that did not work either.
thanks,
Bob R.
