Getting text from filemaker

... because copy and paste just isn't cool enough.

TextMate actually provides a command for pulling text in from Cocoa text fields (see the TextMate Manual). However, I have been unable to get that to work.

Method A: Service

With this method, all you have to do is highlight your text, right-click, then select "TextMate: Open in File". Then your text will be copied into TextMate into a temporary file. The temporary file is nice because saving it prompts TextMate to set the language, and you can easily close the file without bothering with the "Don't you want to save?" prompt.

Just download the attached package and follow the instructions in the READ_ME file.

Open In TextMate.zip

Method B: Copy and Paste

C'mon, it isn't that difficult is it?
