Hey Lewis,

That has to be a typo on your friend's part.  There's no sense in adding a 
capture for an optional literal 'm' – it adds nothing and can mangle words 
ending in 'm'.

This is test
 Maximum Text
With some spaces

ThisistestMaximuTextWithsomespaces

I've no idea why the person in question might feel the need to turn ON 
multiline.  (I'd guess habit.)

Corrected:

search: (?m)\s+

Turning OFF multiline works just the same:

search: (?-m)\s+

#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw
while (<>) {
s!\s+!!g;
print;
}

All produce your compressed string:

ThisistestTextWithsomespaces

Were you were wanting to remove horizontal whitespace only?

Find: \h+
Repl: null

Vertical whitespace can be isolated with “\v”.

Re: A little grep help

[ThePorgie]

Seems like an odd search string. The (m?) would be to capture a patten for 
an optional m before your space. If you're just wanting to get the spaces I 
don't know why you would include this when the \s would get them all with a 
replacement of null and selecting the replace all option. Including the 
pattern (m?) would also get the m's if followed by a space unless you 
returned the pattern in the replace field by using \1 (\1 is assuming only 
one pattern match in your search string being for the m) 

Of note. The \s also gets returns so you will get one long string if using 
the replace all option. You could try \h+ and have more luck. (\h will 
leave the returns).

I was having this problem a year or so ago. I discovered that I could make it 
work like TextEdit by changing the language in the Spelling Panel.

Open the Spelling Panel:  Edit > Spelling > Show Spelling Panel. The Language 
pop-up was set to  Automatic by Language . Changing to U.S. English  fixed the 
problem.

It's NOT doing the same thing is (?m). Apply your pattern to this sample:

[ANN] BBEdit 12.6 (412027) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good morning folks,

We're currently working on a feature update to BBEdit 12, which 
includes a number of new features, as well as fixes for 
previously reported issues.


Testing is currently underway, and we have a stable pre-release 
version ready for use.


Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix 
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our 
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this 
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions.


If this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the 
public release versions is your best course of action. Nobody 
will be offended if you choose to do so; you're under no 
obligation to install and use anything but a public release. :-)


Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in 
this cycle are available here:


  

The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and 
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So 
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that 
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed 
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before 
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.




version 12.6 (412027)   (2019-02-12)

*   This version of BBEdit requires macOS 10.12.6 or later. It will
not run on previous versions of macOS or Mac OS X.

Additions
-

o   (none in this build)

Changes
---

*   [DOC] The "Text Options" sheet gets a setting for the tab width,
and an indicator when the file's settings are managed by
EditorConfig.

*   [DOC] BBEdit-specific print settings are now available in the
Print panel when printing a text document. As a result, we have
removed the "Printing" section from the "Text Options" 
panel, and

restored the latter to its former simplicity.

*   The displayed path for files opened from within Zip archives or
tarballs is now abbreviated using a tilde, if it is within the
current user's home directory.

Fixes
-

*   [367127] Updated the man page for `bbedit` to reflect that
`-u`/`--create-unix` are deprecated (but still allowed as
synonyms for `-c`/`--create`). The output of `bbedit -h` no
longer mentions `-u`/`--create-unix`.

*   [328867] Fixed bug in which changing text display settings via
the Text Options command; the options popover in the navigation
bar; or one of the commands on the View => Text Display submenu,
did not mark the document's state dirty.

*   [367249] Fixed bug in which search results text generated for
items inside of Zip archives or tarballs did not actually include
the archive-relative path to the file.

*   [367237] Made a change so that `bbedit --maketags` ignores the
`ctags` present in the freestanding Xcode command-line tools
installation, in case those are installed.

*fin*

One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, 
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking 
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please 
send a bug report to  and we will deal 
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on 
topic and productive for all list members.


The package can be downloaded from our web server:



Enjoy,

R.

If I paste them into BBEdit from your message, only andd is underlined.

If I back space to the end of specfic and then hit the space bar, it is 
highlighted, if I add a space after dand it is also highlighted.

This is very different behavior from TextEdit or Mail compose windows. Not sure 
what is going on, but it does look buggy to me.

Problems with spellcheck?

[Barbara Snyder]

Before I consider filing a bug, are there any known issues with 
highlighting spelling errors? I am finding it to be randomly useful lately, 
often ignoring something in front of a comma or LF, for example, or just 
ignoring stuff in general. This chunk of text isn't showing any errors in  
BBEdit:

 andd  dand  specfic 

Although sometimes if I leave and come back, the red underlines do show up.

Thanks -- Barbara

Re: A little grep help

[Néstor E. Aguilera]

Notice that \s includes line feeds/carriage returns/form feeds, so perhaps it 
is not what you want.

For just spaces and tabs you may try [^ \t]+ (user manual, p. 187).

Re: Image won't appear

A while ago, Patricia Scott asked about an image not appearing

I wanted to add that sometimes I had similar issues and discovered that the 
underlying permissions for the to-be-inserted file (e.g., image) were not 
set correctly. For browsers to show a file such as an image, the file must 
be "world-readable" (i..e., "-rw-r--r--" in unix; not sure what the 
designation would be on a Windoze box). With command-line access, one can 
use a command like "chmod" (change mode?) to correct such problems; I think 
there are ways to do so with some tools in FTP applications, etc., too.

When I've had issues with images or other files in situations such as this, 
I sometimes find it valuable to control- or right-click on the image and 
select "open image in a new window." Then I can examine the path for 
problems (does it point to the right directory? is there an inconsistency 
with the case?). Also, I've found that it's sometimes helpful to test the 
page in another browser to eliminate problems associated with how one 
browser is rendering the page; of course, one should generally conduct such 
tests, anyway, even when no problems are apparent in one's default browser.

Grins,

Re: A little grep help

[Sam Hathaway]

This would seem to remove any `m` character that is followed by one or 
more spaces, so I don’t think it _quite_ does what you asked for. Not 
sure why it would be faster either.

Re: Expression to copy line containing keyword and also previous and next lines?

[Sam Hathaway]

Maybe you could give some example text from one of the files.

In the multi-file search dialog, make sure that there's no filter selected 
if you want to search all the files in the folder you've selected. And, of 
course, make sure the folder you want to search is selected.

I doubt this is true.

I know, second hand. that Adobe software has and many issues with 
case-sensitive HFS+ volumes, though I do not know for sure they are still 
problems today. Certainly within the last ten years, however.

Here, I found this form last April:



which references this:



which states:

Solution: Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive.

No mention of APFS, and it handles case/unicode very differently, so maybe? But 
I bet Adobe products still don't work.
