Hi,
I am writing a tiny applescript, that I invoke with a clipping, to do a

My string might look like this...

Hi
I've been happy using BBEdit and the license is so much more
affordable now. I just thought I might as well make a commitment to
it.

Yes Nisus Writer on the classic OS did keep text in the data fork and
formatting in the resource fork, but surely any word processor will be able to
just export a text file, so you could utilise the variable tab stops in any
word processor or use a spreadsheet, then export as text?

Kerri, you are right: I forgot about the BBEdit Help book. In my
defense I have been clear about being a newbie--well, that's just
half defense :-).
I'll go through the doc and learn the tricks in there.

The manual is really very good and the more that is read the better.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback and the example. I like the simpler pattern
too :-)
As to why I am activating it from a clipping, well because it is part
of a bigger set of clippings. Clippings are the sensible method for
most of the set. This one is the oddball, but I want to keep

I am excited to start using BBedit. I am long time Textmate user and
just got bbedit 10. One thing that I can't find that I would like to

In Textmate if you do command T you get a window that allows you to
start typing the name of files in the project and it will list the

Yes, that's the sort of direction I was trying to go with the 'as

the selection, b) run the replace on the string, c) return the string,
which the clipping will replace the original selection with... I just
