I've never used Scrip editor. the "↵" symbol i put in, I actually need it 
to "move to next line" in BBEdit I just do "command + enter" what do i put 
in the Script to move to next line? 

I would much rather use Grep but I'm not sure I know how to create what 
you're describing. when i select Find Replace i only see the option for 1 
search and only a Grep check box. No option to Start at top or do multiple 
at same time

Sorry if i dont make sense... Thanks for your help!
