Textwrangler Languages Folder

[Scott Chamberlain]

Dear R Community,

I recently switched to a Mac (10.6.5), and have installed Textwrangler to
run code to R. However, I can't install the syntax highlighting file because
I can't find the directory: "~Users/username/Library/Application
Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/". Is there a different location I can
place the syntax highlighting file?

Scott

I don't have OSX 10.6 and I happen to use SubEthaEdit, but I suspect  
that you are really looking for something like the following:

/Users/ben/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/

Note that you would place your user name in the place where mine  
("ben") appears.  If the "TextWrangler/Language Modules" directory  
doesn't exist in the Application Support directory you can create it.

Cheers,
Ben

This is quite some time ago, but I just had the same problem and the folder in the most recent version of TextWrangler.
Right-click (well, Ctrl-click) on the application and choose 'Show Package Contents'. Then you can find the folder Language Moudles and include the plist script for R syntax highlighting in new Textwrangler versions as described.

This is not the right place for posting Mac-specific questions. There  
is a separate mailing list. The directory specification you offered  
doesn't really make sense, because on the Mac the tilde is generally a  
synonym for /Users/username, so one of these is likely to be more  
successful:

"~/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language Modules/"

"Users/username/Library/Application Support/TextWrangler/Language  
Modules/"

If there is documentation that you were following that suggested the  
form you used, you should contact the authors and suggest they fix it.

And you need to find the place in your mail-client that switches to  
plain text.
