Does it have to be a script? This Grep search pattern: ^.*[^\w\r]?YOUR_WORD_HERE(?:\r|\W.*(?:\r|\Z)|\Z) Seems like it will find what you want. Use an empty replace pattern. Even if you do have to use a script for some reason, that grep pattern is probably a good starting point. Or, um, as Steve said... just use Process Lines Containing Seth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
