I want to find the string in the text and use the grep subselection
and assign it to a variable. However, I get the message that "DATE
LICENSE ISSUE\\r([^\\r]+)\\r" doesn't understand the find message. I
don't understand why this doesn't work, but I'm sure I have screwed up
the syntax somehow. Does anyone know how to make the find command
work? Thanks.

Oh, I am using the older version of BBEdit, but surely someone can
point me in the right direction.

tell application "BBEdit 6.5"
find "DATE LICENSE ISSUE\\r([^\\r]+)\\r" options {search mode:grep,
starting at top:true, reverse:false, wrap around:false, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} searching
in text 1 of text document 1 with selecting match

set myVar to (grep substitution of "\\1")

end tell
