... there has been some code on the list some time ago which can be used to extend Den's script even further. With this you don't even have to select a line. It works simply on the line the cursor is in:

tell application "BBEdit"
        activate
        tell text window 1
                set firstLineIndex to startLine of selection
                set lineLength to length of line firstLineIndex
                if lineLength is 0 then
                        select insertion point before line firstLineIndex
                else
                        select characters 1 through lineLength of line 
firstLineIndex
                end if
        end tell
add prefix and suffix selection of text window 1 prefix "/* " suffix " */"
end tell


happy commenting,
Roland

Here's a script you can use with a whole line selected - easier than setting up a replace.
        
tell application "BBEdit"
        activate
add prefix and suffix selection of text window 1 prefix "/* " suffix " */"
end tell

        - Den.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I searched through the manual and the listsearch for the mailing list doesn't seem to be working right now (Internal server error). When I apply the Un/Comment selection to a single line in a .css file, it makes the comment into three lines, but I'd rather it all
stayed as one line.  For example, if I have this line:

font-size:18px;

and select the entire line (using Cmd-L) and then do Un/Comment selection, I end up with this:

/*
font-size:18px;
*/

whereas I'd rather have this:

/* font-size:18px; */

I tried to change this functionality via "BBEdit Preferences > Languages > Installed languages > CSS > General" where there is a setting to change the comment start and end, but it's greyed out. Is there some other way to change this? Thanks.
