Re: How to Process a GROUP of Lines Containing . . .

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Bill,

In BBEdit I would first reformat the XML:

Markup > Utilities > Format

Select *Mode: Compact* to put all the code on one line.

Then search 
and replace with \n

 So now each  tag is on one line.

This will make the “per line” tools more useful.

Once you are done sorting you could revisit Format.

Cheers
Ollie

Re: How to Process a GROUP of Lines Containing . . .

[Bill Kochman]

Hello Ollie,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

As I told Patrick earlier today, I already resolved the issue by purchasing a 
copy of Sheila Dixon’s excellent “integrity Plus” app.

While that issue is now taken care of, I will definitely keep your message 
archived here, and your point in mind, for any future tasks where it may come 
in handy.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,

Bill K.

Highlight colour in differences windows?

[jgill]

Word 2016 for Mac can't display the differences between two documents so I 
have taken two 75,000 word documents as text files into BBEdit were I can 
see the differences between the two documents and have synchronised 
scrolling between them. So far, so good. The problem is that the 
differences are highlighted in a very pale grey and I would like to make 
the highlight colour more obvious. Nothing in the Color Preferences seems 
to affect this highlight colour even though the documentation suggests that 
it does. Is there a hidden preference for this somewhere?

Howdy,

That's most likely because the difference file pane, at the bottom, is selected 
and therefore the two file panes show selections in gray.

Good Luck,

Re: Highlight colour in differences windows?

[jgill]

It seems that I have been misundertanding how this works. The two 
difference windows have lines with very pale grey backgrounds. I don't 
understand why. If I select a line 'Nonmatching Lines...' in the bottom 
pane, I can see the highlighted differences (in magenta), which is what I 
want and I can scroll through them with the up/down arrow keys. I was 
expecting ALL the differences to be highlighted without doing anything.

So, what are these pale grey backgrounds to some lines, alternate 
paragraphs???

Re: Customer post: How to quickly create html form-fields via grep search & replace

[Bruce Linde]

here are some canned/stored grep patterns i use all the time... i have a 
bunch. all of the ones related to forms start with FORMS:, all of the one 
related to php start with PHP:, etc.



FORMS: generate radio buttons
   USAGE: any amount of field names, one per line. select all and then 
REPLACE ALL - selection only
   FIND: ^([^\r]+)\r
   REPLACE ALL:  Yes\r No\r\r

SUCH AS:
do i love bbedit?
could i imagine using any other program than bbedit?
where's my winning lottery ticket already?!?!?

WHICH RESULTS IN:

 Yes
 No

 Yes
 No

 Yes
 No





FORMS: init post vars from a list of field names
   USAGE: any amount of field names, one per line. select all and then 
REPLACE ALL - selection only
   FIND: ^([^\r]+)\r
   REPLACE ALL: \tif ( isset($_POST['\1']) ) {\r\t\t$\1 = 
$_POST['\1'];\r\t} else {\r\t\t$\1 = "";\r\t}\r\r

SUCH AS:
wombat
toaster_oven
lumbago

WHICH RESULTS IN:

if ( isset($_POST['wombat']) ) {
$wombat = $_POST['wombat'];
} else {
$wombat = "";
}

if ( isset($_POST['toaster_oven']) ) {
$toaster_oven = $_POST['toaster_oven'];
} else {
$toaster_oven = "";
}

if ( isset($_POST['lumbago']) ) {
$lumbago = $_POST['lumbago'];
} else {
$lumbago = "";
}






FORMS: init post AND session vars from a list of field names
   USAGE: any amount of field names, one per line. select all and then 
REPLACE ALL - selection only
   FIND: ^(.+)\r
   REPLACE ALL: \t$the_\1 = $_POST['\1'];\r\t\t$_SESSION['\1'] = \$the_\1;\r

SUCH AS:
wombat
toaster_oven
lumbago

WHICH RESULTS IN:

$the_wombat = $_POST['wombat'];
$_SESSION['wombat'] = $the_wombat;
$the_toaster_oven = $_POST['toaster_oven'];
$_SESSION['toaster_oven'] = $the_toaster_oven;
$the_lumbago = $_POST['lumbago'];
$_SESSION['lumbago'] = $the_lumbago;
