Hello
Just for the record.
Another title would have been: Enter the Dragon! Access Clang from BBEdit or TextWrangler.
This script shows how to script a results browser of TextWrangler or BBEdit, by the simples means possible.
The script in itself is useful, if you’d like to compile Foundation examples, and see how they run from outside Xcode, as you may have a project there (or several), that you are working on.
So, if there are errors in the .m file, then a Results Browser window is thrown up as the front window of your BareBones Editor of choice. Otherwise, you are presented with the foreground Terminal window, (one is created if none exists), and your compiled example code is executed there.
Here is the script, you should really call it Compile Obj-C
After you have installed it, and assigned cmd-R as the short cut key, then use the file below to verify that it works.
Edit
And when you have affirmed that you are getting up the results browser, then please fix some of the errors, and see that you indeed get the executable running in terminal.
