"What would be really cool if you could store regular expression patterns in a snippet and just click to run a find and replace."
I think you can do this with JEdit and a Macro ... Just click "Start Recording" then open find and replace, type in your regex and run, then click "Stop Recording" ... You can then save that and even add a keyboard shortcut. By the way Dick, I think I saw recently that the new version of Jedit for Mac has an option to move the menu bar to the top of the screen like you'd expect in a Mac application. Jedit 4.1pre4 or something like that. Joshua Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Mark W.

One thing that I really want studio to do is to have some variables in the snippets like this: <!--- MWB %date(mm/dd/yy)% Comment: ---> (snippet code) <!--- MWB 09/24/02 Comment: ---> (result) OR Highlight or select text with your mouse, then active snippet. Selected text:"Fname" <input type="text" name="%selected%" value="#%selected%#"> <input type="text" name="Fname" value="Fname"> What would be really cool if you could store regular expression patterns in a snippet and just click to run a find and replace.

One BBedit feature I really like is the ability (within BBEdit) to execute a Perl script or a Unix shell script and see the results displayed in BBEdit. I use the Perl feature all the time to validate complex regexps, before copy pasting them into CF or JavaScript. On the other hand, JEit has some nice features, too -- Folding your code (Collapsing indentations) so yoy can get an overview, And the SQL Plugin allows you to highlight some SQL syntax (in a CF template) and execute it against an available database -- no copy/paste necessary. The results are shown in a popup window. BBEdit is more Mac-Like because everything where Mac users expect it to be. Difficult choice!
