It will capture error messages in a file in the operating system /tmp directory; the filename will begin with "temp" and end with the extension "err". That might have some clues as to what went wrong. Yep, it still works for me.

The core of the problem is that WordPress's <a href=""http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wptexturize" rel="nofollow">wptexturize</a> function -- invoked by the theme to pretty up the typographical elements of the text -- modifies characters within <code> tags. I'm using a <blockquote><code> combination because if I were to use a <pre> block the shell command would stretch well past the right margin of the browser. (And if I artificially insert line breaks inside the <pre> block, those line breaks would be pasted into the Automator window.) I found <a href=""http://www.planetmike.com/journal/plugins/codequotes/" rel="nofollow">PlanetMike CodeQuotes</a> will reverse the changes made by wptexturize inside <code> blocks. I had to make one addition to the plugin because <a href=""http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.2/wp-includes/formatting.php#L24" rel="nofollow">wptexturize</a> was replacing regex <code>/(\d+)x(\d+)/</code> with <code>$1×$2</code>. So I added this (which will probably also get munged by the WordPress wptexturize function): $line = str_replace('×', 'x',$line); While tweaking the article, I also modified the "Run Script" automator action graphic to highlight the need to modify the "Pass Input" parameter. @ZZamboni — Thanks for trying this out and reporting the issues. The core of the problem is that WordPress’s wptexturize function — invoked by the theme to pretty up the typographical elements of the text — modifies characters within <code> tags.

I found PlanetMike CodeQuotes will reverse the changes made by wptexturize inside <code> blocks. I had to make one addition to the plugin because wptexturize was replacing regex /(\d+)x(\d+)/ with $1&#215;$2. So I added this (which will probably also get munged by the WordPress wptexturize function): $line = str_replace(‘×’, ‘x’,$line);

While tweaking the article, I also modified the “Run Script” automator action graphic to highlight the need to modify the “Pass Input” parameter.

It works fine under Leopard (10.5.5) for me. One note of advice: if you copy-and-paste the script, you have to make sure to replace the funny graphical characters (the x in "2x4" and the quotes around "1l,2r,etc.") with their ASCII counterparts, after you paste the text in Automator. Also, don't forget to change the "Pass input:" setting to "as arguments"! I made both of these mistakes, but after fixing them, it works beautifully. This is very cool, thanks for the instructions!
