Apple-A (select all) Apple-C (copy) Apple-Tab to terminal pbpaste | egrep -n Pbpaste only takes the plain text version, not the RTF version. So it'll be as good as the RTF to plain text conversion. Granted, that doesn't solve the replace side, only the find side. For plain text and regex, how about "gvim" -- gui front end for vim? _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
