(Sorry if this posted twice) Not sure if Matt is still around, but I continued working on the script I started and got it working pretty well. It works for both relative and absolute file paths. When multiple matches are found, it will display them in a numbered list and allow you to pick one to put into the document.
I've placed the script on my site for improved visibility. Hope it's useful for someone. I had fun getting it to work even though I don't really need it. http://www.angelwatt.com/coding/bbedit-autocomplete-filename.php -Kendall On Wednesday, September 26, 2012 11:46:32 PM UTC-4, Kendall Conrad wrote: > > There's nothing builtin for that kind of functionality and is much easier > said than done.
