I wonder if I can post it here. Worth a try (if there's not a post limit). Save as "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Language Modules/newlisp.plist". But this is my first attempt at such a beast, so please improve it!

MacOS editors - newLISP module for BBEdit/TextWrangler
Since I prefer to use OSX-friendly editors such as BBEdit rather than emacs, I had a go at defining a LanguageModule for newLISP. It starting to work OK in both BBEdit and TextWrangler (the free version of BBEdit), so if you'd like a copy (or would like to make it better) let me know (message here o...

MacOS - resource forks
Sorry for yet another Mac post (in the Linux forum...), but I've discovered how to work with resource forks (weird Mac technology from the old days :-))... You can access resource forks using the "/rsrc" form, although the 'file?' function can't see them. (set 'sysfontdir "/System/Library/Fonts/") (...

Advantages of newLISP compared with other scripting tools?
I'd be interested in your opinions as to what you think are the main benefits of newLISP compared with some of the other mainstream scripting languages (Perl, Python, Ruby)... I can certainly see the benefits of newLISP over old LISP, and if you already know some form of LISP it's quick to pick up. ...

Hi folks. Thanks for the replies. But the problem is with files and directories that have spaces in their names. (Perhaps this is a MacOS X-only thing?) So this works: "/Applications/Firefox.app/" but this doesn't: "/Applications/Address Book.app/" Loads of files and directories have spaces in, and ...

process and spaces in filenames
Just before my brain packs up for the day:
(set 'f "/Users/me/folder 1/file 1") ; yes, spaces in pathnames...
(process (append "ls -l " f )) ; doesn't work
I need to pass some kind of quoted form of f to the shell. What's the best way of doing that?
Sorry if the question is a bit too simple...!

Misc newbie queries
Hi. Where should I post newLISP questions that are neither Windows or Linux or MacOS? The forums are a strange mixture of platform-specific and general newLISP and non-newLISP questions. Can I get a UTF-8 version for MacOS X without having to build from source..? Can I get an RSS feed for these foru...

I've used the 'osascript' command to run AppleScripts before (eg from Ruby or Perl), but was wondering whether there was any more basic communication (eg an OSA interface that generates raw Apple Events). I'll try (process) now: -- #!/usr/bin/newlisp (process "osascript -e 'tell app \"Finder\" to di...
