Hey Peter, Look in the BBEdit user manual under “Searching with Grep”. I did a quick search on YouTube and found several things using “BBEdit grep”. This one is TextWrangler, but as you probably know it's BBEdit's freeware sibling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuDoJrpLnBk <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuDoJrpLnBk> It's not a bad example of what you're trying to do. Quick and easy doesn't compute when you're trying to learn regular expressions to perform complex tasks. Basic regex is not too difficult to understand. But getting it to do what you want it to in as bombproof a way as possible takes some dedicated study and practice. I've been using regular expressions for 20+ years and still don't consider myself an expert-user, although I'd say I qualify as an advanced-user. My BBEdit-TextWrangler Regular Expression Cheat-Sheet <https://gist.github.com/ccstone/5385334> may be of use to you. There's a pretty good list of regex resources here: https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Regular_Expressions <https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Regular_Expressions> Books and websites toward the end. -- Best Regards, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
