This search/replace is saved as "CleanUp FIND ALL Results" in the Patterns :
Popup Menu
SEARCH : ^([^:\r]+[ \t]*):\d{1,6}:[ \t]*
REPLACE :
Another handy search/replace that is saved as "CleanUp Trailing Spaces" :
SEARCH : ([ \t]+$)
REPLACE :
Notice that replace is empty on both
Here's what I do after performing a Multi-File Search while the results window
is frontmost :
CMD-A
CMD-N
CMD-V
sometimes here I might do a "CleanUp Trailing Spaces", before I do a "CleanUp
FIND ALL Results"
CMD-F using ^([^:\r]+[ \t]*):\d{1,6}:[ \t]*
Click on "Replace All"
depending on what I am doing, I might do a :
CNTRL-S (I have this key combination set up to sort the selection)
CNTRL-D (I have this key combination set up to remove duplicates)
Of course some things I don't want sorted, I want them in the result found
order.
I had at one point automated this with AppleScript, but I am so used to doing
this that I don't even use the script anymore.
