Open Field Contents in BBEdit

[Ola Olsson]

I'm using a "send event" step to open BBEdit then load the file in a container field. BBEdit opens fine but the file is never loaded. I checked the integrity of the container link by using the export step which successfully exports the file to where I designated. The file will also load fine into BBedit if I use an absolute file path. How do I get the container field info to load into BBedit?

When I Export Field Contents, to a fixed (relative) path, then Send Event [ open document, same path, bring app to front ] it works fine.

The easiest way to set it up is to put (or export) the file manually once first, so you can target it with the Send Event step. Then remove the file.

Thanks for your help. Your method works. But it sure is convoluted.
