Get one of your snippets from Snipplr

/ Published in: Ruby
Save to your folder(s)
This command allows you to browse your snippet collection on Snipplr and retrieve them into e. Requires the installation of the wxCocoaDialog exe in the /Support/bin subdirectory.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with the API key -- you can find it on your Settings page (http://snipplr.com/settings/).

Update 1/31/2007: I found escaping the $ was necessary to prevent the snippet engine from eating the variable.
Update 2/01/2007: Use the standard library function for escaping the snippet (instead of my own gsub() regex.
Update 2/02/2007: Add error checking code; handle empty accounts a bit more gracefully (and informatively).
