[OS X TeX] TexShop and AppleScript

[Sergei Mariev]

Really? ...  I have made TexShop copy things to clipboard, like that:

tell application "TeXShop"
  set the clipboard to (content of selection of front document) as string
  end tell

which works fine...

So, I thought by analogy there should be a way to do the opposite... 
What a pity!

But thanks so much for replying!

As far as I know TeXShop doesn't understand a command like that. You 
have to pass the command to BBEdit, e.g.

Hello,

this might be a very simple question, the fact is I know very little 
about AppleScript...

What is the correct way to tell the TexShop (I am using v. 1.34 now) 
to paste the content of the clipboard (text) at cursor in the front 
document?

(I get some information through a perlscript, then pipe it to the 
clipboard and want to paste it at cursor.)

Thanks for any suggestions!
