Re: Auto-increase indent

[Kendall Conrad]

I wrote a script a while back to do this in at least a few helpful cases. I 
assign it to Cmd+Enter when I want it to activate. Useful C-style {} 
indents, Python indents, comment blocks, and numbered lists. The 
AppleScript can be adapted for any specific use case it doesn't fit. It's 
aware of your indentation settings as well so will know whether to use tabs 
or spaces and how many spaces.

Hope it's of use to you.

Re: Can't assign certain key combinations to clippings

[Kendall Conrad]

With OS 10.11.6 and BBEdit 12.0.1 I was able to successfully assign 
Ctrl+Opt+Cmd+P (and C, T. S was already assigned) to a clipping and use it.

You may want to try and backup your settings/preferences somewhere and 
delete them to see if there's something funny with it as a way to narrow 
down the problem. I don't have Keyboard Maestro or KeyCue installed so 
can't say if they are a factor.

Re: changing HTML elements in certain unordered lists

[Kendall Conrad]

In the search string you list the end ul tag doesn't show the / () 
like you mention in the paragraph above it. Not sure if that was just a 
typo here or also in what you tried.

I don't think the regex approach is the best for this because it won't 
change all of them in one pass because of the multi-line matching. It would 
have to be run multiple times until it doesn't find a match.

My approach would be to open each file, highlight the entire ul from start 
to end and do a regex on the selection. If there are just too many files, 
then my second approach would be to use a Perl script that reads through 
the file until it finds the opening ul, then does li regex on each 
following line until it sees the end ul.

Re: how to continue the citation-mark on the next line after pressing enter

[Kendall Conrad]

Try setting the keyboard shortcut from within BBEdit and not using keyboard 
maestro. I don't use that program so not sure what side effects it could be 
causing. You can also try running the script from Script Editor. It may 
provide some output if it is hitting any errors. You can also add log 
messages in the script to see if values are being set correctly e.g., log 
"wleng = " & wleng

I'm using BBEdit 11.1.4.
It also works in TextWrangler 5.0.2.

Re: how to continue the citation-mark on the next line after pressing enter

[Kendall Conrad]

Yeah, I thought there may have been some weird white space issue. Glad that 
worked.

To get the extra space modified this following line near the end of the 
script.

set selection to return & white & _char

and add the extra space there like so,

set selection to return & white & _char & " "

Re: how to continue the citation-mark on the next line after pressing enter

[Kendall Conrad]

I know the old script doesn't work and isn't suppose to for what you 
wanted, which is why I wrote the new one, which works very differently.

You didn't describe what happened with the new script so I can't say what 
happened. You'll need to give more information and try messing with the 
script. Can't magically know what's wrong.

Re: how to continue the citation-mark on the next line after pressing enter

[Kendall Conrad]

Well, I can't read the exact error message since it's not English, but I 
believe I may see the problem. I think there's an extra line break after 
the word "searching". Make it so the next line is on the same line. That's 
the problem with posting code online, can't always control how it gets 
formatted. Later parts of the script had long lines as well so be sure they 
don't have extra new lines.

Re: how to continue the citation-mark on the next line after pressing enter

[Kendall Conrad]

I don't see any obvious reason why it shouldn't be working. My example 
document looks like yours and I can't reproduce any errors. You might want 
to compare what you have with what I originally posted to make sure the 
script wasn't modified in any other ways while copying and pasting, 
especially the regular expression parts.

The block of code that's commented with "-- Define a tab ..." is not being 
used in the script so you can remove it. There's 3 spots that use the 
"searching" piece and can't tell which one was causing the error. You can 
try placing log statements around each one to see when it hits an error.

Re: global tab expansion

[Kendall Conrad]

There is an option under the Edit menu to Normalize Options. This makes the 
program forget the per document settings and applies the default (global) 
settings to the documents. It will do more than just the tab expansion 
though, just as a heads up. I believe this will get what you want though as 
long as the caveat doesn't bother you. The manual will have more details on

Re: Emmet support

[Kendall Conrad]

Before it was Emmet, it was Zen Coding. I made some scripts a few years 
back that implemented a portion of the features for TextWrangler and 
BBEdit. I haven't tried it on newer versions of BBEdit, but it likely still 
works. I only use TextWrangler these days so can't try out the filter 
dialogs that Rich pointed to. Hopefully the scripts can help you out 
though, but I have no current intentions to update them.

 Hi,

 Love BBedit. Been using for way too many years. Just upgraded to 11. I'll 
 mention now that BBedit is one of only half-a-dozen apps on my Mac that is 
 not from the app store, and is the only one in that category I don't mind 
 paying for upgrades on.

 Is there any way to get emmet functionality into BBedit? Is it already 
 there and I am just not seeing it? There is a nice plugin for TextMate, but 
 I am trying to focus on one singular text editor instead of having 4 
 installed all the time.

 Thanks!

Re: Grep help?

[Kendall Conrad]

I couldn't see a way to get a 100% solution with just one grep run, but 
this works for items that have two, but not when there's three. If you run 
the same regex replace all multiple times it will accommodate more than two.

Find:
((\w+_\d+_\d+).*\.jpg)(\r(\2(.*\.jpg)))

Replace with:
\1,\4

Re: Send selection to OmniFocus Applescript

[Kendall Conrad]

Using the of me part at the end is just something I've used to call 
functions in the same file that are outside of the tell application block 
that I'm currently in. I've not used the my keyword like you were using.

Doing a quick AppleScript keyword lookup 
(https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/applescript/conceptual/applescriptlangguide/reference/ASLR_keywords.html)
 
shows the two are synonyms so it would have had the same effect.

Re: A different kind of select word

 Gruber's and several others, but find them lacking or buggy in lengthy

 The logic I'm using is this:
 1. Start by looking at the character to the right of the insertion point.
 2. If that character is a *space*, then move to the beginning of the word 
 (using customized regex),
 3. and then select to the end of the word (again, using a custom regex)
 4. *if not* reverse the order of the searches.

 This works very well for what I need, but I'd like to test for more than 
 just a space. Meaning: if the character to the right of the insertion point 
 is a space, or anything I define.

 Is it possible to test the found text *of* nextChar as regex?

 If you can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

Re: Grep pattern for multi line /* ... */ blocks

[Kendall Conrad]

One indirect solution:
There's tools for compressing JavaScript files (minifiers). These strip 
comments and remove all unnecessary white space, which results in much 
smaller files. I use YUI Compressor for my JS and CSS files saving to 
-min.js file names. This might be the better approach in the long run if 
you're after getting smaller files. The comments can help later when 
reworking the code so it's good to keep them around for development.

Examples:
http://jscompress.com/
http://fmarcia.info/jsmin/test.html
http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jsmin.html
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

One direct solution:
Find: (?s)\/\*.*\*\/\r

The (?s) lets the . match newlines.

Re: tab-completion

[Kendall Conrad]

(Sorry if this posted twice)

Not sure if Matt is still around, but I continued working on the script I 
started and got it working pretty well. It works for both relative and 
absolute file paths. When multiple matches are found, it will display them 
in a numbered list and allow you to pick one to put into the document.

I've placed the script on my site for improved visibility. Hope it's useful 
for someone. I had fun getting it to work even though I don't really need 
it.

Re: Sequential numbering

[Kendall Conrad]

Looks cool. I'm less familiar with the idiomatic parts. I generally try to 
write it more readable so there's a chance a year later that I'll still 
know what the code does. I don't use Perl much so the syntax is always 
foggy.

The /e flag was new to me, but very helpful. I was trying something like 
that without it, but unsuccessful. I hadn't used the qr// technique before 
either so I learned some new tricks. Thanks for sharing this shortened 
version.

Re: Sequential numbering

[Kendall Conrad]

Here's a Perl script that can work as a Unix Filter. It replaces all 
instances of 'the' with 'the#' where # goes from 1 to number of 
occurrences. You just have to replace the $str variable at the top with a 
regex you want to find and alter. Below is sample before and after effect 
of the script.

Sample before:
some text the example for the place.
some text theatre example for th place.
some text the example for the place.

Sample after:
some text the1 example for the2 place.
some text theatre example for th place.
some text the3 example for the4 place.

---
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $str = '\bthe\b';
my $iter = 0;
while () {
if ($_ =~ m/${str}/){
my $n1 = $_;
while ($n1 =~ m/(${str})/) {
$iter++;
$n1 =~ s/(${str})/$1${iter}/;
}
print $n1;
}
else {
print $_;
}
}

Re: Help with Regular Expression to convert internal links

[Kendall Conrad]

Using just grep alone I don't see a way to fully do this. The closest I 
could come up with is:

find: \[ ([^\]]+)\]\[\]
Replace: [ \1](#\L\1)

This will turn
[ Charging for School Activities][]
into
[ Charging for School Activities](#charging for school activities)

This still leaves the spaces that need translating into dashes in anchor 
portion. If you're not afraid of using Perl, you can use a unix filter.

---
#!/usr/bin/perl
while () {
if ($_ =~ m/\[ ([^\]]+)\]\[\](.*)$/) {
($n2=$1) =~ tr/A-Z /a-z\-/;
print [ $1](#$n2)$2\n;
}
else {
print $_;
}
}

You can run this from the #! menu.

For PHP previews I believe you just need to setup the site in the

Re: Simple ROT13

script. As a Unix Filter, it will be applied to whatever is highlighted, or 
the entire file if there's no selection. I don't remember where the script 
came from, but seems to work. Alternatively, you could write your own Unix 
Filter that goes to a Bash script using the command you gave, though not 
quite in it's current format, provided after the Python.

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import fileinput
import string

unshifted = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
shifted =   'nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM'
rot13_table = string.maketrans(unshifted, shifted)

for my_line in fileinput.input():
print string.translate(my_line, rot13_table),

#!/bin/sh

Re: Move to beginning of line after whitespace

I wrote a script a while back based on discussions here that do this, 
though I'm not sure about the behavior you mention about lists. That part

(or you're already at the first non-white) then it will go to the true 
first position.

Re: Grep: Find string 1. Find string 2. Replace 2 with 1. ?

[Kendall Conrad]

I believe the following find/replace should work. I took your description 
to mean that the contents inside h1 should be replaced with the contents of 
the title1 tag and vice versa. This achieved that in brief testing.

Search for:
(?s)(title1)(.+?)/\1(.+?)h1(.+?)/h1

Replace with:
\1\4/\1\3h1\2/h1

The (?s) allows the . to match across new lines.

Re: about a regex pattern

[Kendall Conrad]

Simply put, it's trying to find a fit. If .* matched to the end, then the 
pattern after .* wouldn't match, thus it wouldn't be matching anything. 
Regex don't work just left to right matching whatever they can as they go. 
They look forward and backward to find an appropriate match. Since the 
regex contains the $ for the end, it works from there backwards to match as 
well.

 The part of the pattern after 'pub' is the bit which puzzles me. The first

 It seems to be halted in a non-greedy way by the last parentheses which

 Why this works, I do not know. I'm glad it does. Does anyone know why i.e 
 why the (.*) after 'pub' doesn't overrule the (\[a-z\=]*$) ?

Re: Insert Next List Item

[Kendall Conrad]

For anyone that was waiting, I did update the script to include handling of 
+ listed items. I also added . I made some other enhancements too while I 
was at it. The numerical listing handles both going 3. to 4., but also 2.4. 
to 2.5. so it handles decimal numbering or sub sections. Lastly, I added 
HTML list item support; it creates a li tags, copies the li tag's 
attributes from the current line, and duplicates them and also places the 
cursor inside the tag.

If you have visited the page before you'll likely need to hit refresh to 
ensure you're seeing the latest page updates. I haven't had a chance to do 
thorough testing so if you see issues or have other suggestions let me know.

 It would be very easy to add though to the code. Just edit the section

Re: Insert Next List Item

[Kendall Conrad]

The link I provided does have the latest code. If you visited the page 
somewhat recently you may need to do a refresh to see the latest changes. 
The code will state that is was last updated March 26 at the top of the 
code listing.

The updated code does handle doing lists that start with *, #, and -, but 
not +. I thought about it, but couldn't think of anytime I've seen it used. 
It would be very easy to add though to the code. Just edit the section 
Check for lists and add \\+ to the two regex finds. It has to be escaped 
since it's a special character for regex. I'll make an update when I get a 
chance, probably within the next 20 hours.

Re: Applescript to check for a selection, then do something

[Kendall Conrad]

Yes, you can check the length of the selection to see if anything is
connected and surround that with an if statement. I do it in a script
that I run.



On Feb 1, 1:32 am, Oliver Taylor olivertay...@me.com wrote:

 I imagine it would go:
 - Is there a selection?
 + if yes: trigger the menu item
 + if no: select the current word/line - then trigger the menu item.

 Perhaps there's no need to attach it to the menu-item… maybe it's just a
 script that checks-for/makes a selection, then calls a specified menu-item.

 Any help would be appreciated.

That's accomplished through OSX's interface rather than BBEdit. From

Re: BBEdit opens a file with oriental characters

[Kendall Conrad]

The first idea that comes to mind is if the FTP program is attempting
to transfer the file as binary rather than ascii. It would be weird
for it to do that, but would be something to look into. Are you
accessing the file using BBEdit's FTP open capability or a separate
FTP program? The UTF-16 w/BOM could also be the culprit. I come across
many programs that can't handle it, and maybe something goes astray in
the transfer. I generally stick with UTF-8 w/o BOM, and I use Japanese
and English together in my HTML documents.

 Checking the file on the command line (with head, tail or vi), it is fine: 
 plain HTML, nothing odd there.

 So, far I have

         – scanned the file with an antivirus and seems to be clean…

 What can be the origin of this problem…? Any suggestion…?

Glad to hear it's working in version 10. I haven't upgraded so hadn't
been able to try it out. As I believe you found, you can enter the
abbreviation directly into a document and use your now working
keyboard shortcut to expand it. It uses the same script for inline
expansion and the pop-up. Which occurs depends on the context.

Shortcut for scrolling window while keeping cursor position is control-

control+option+command-up/down (for 6 lines).

Tab size can be defined per document type in the preferences (at least
for version 9). Preferences  Languages  Pick one  Options.

The user manual has a lot of this kind of information as well. It's
long, but lots of good info. I don't have version 10 so can't address

 As possible future enhancements, there are a few global settings that

Re: AppleScript - open current file in BBEdit in other application

Your attempt is close. Here's a script that is working for me. You cn
comment out the do shell line with -- at the beginning of the line
and uncomment the line above it to see the file path that it will try
to open for testing.

tell application BBEdit
set _file to file of front window
--display dialog File:   quoted form of (POSIX path of _file)

 Problem: I want to open the front-most file in BBEdit in another
 application by pressing some keyboard command.

 Let's say the other application is TextEdit, but it could be any
 application.

 On page 322 of the manual (see, I read it :-) it says:

  Although BBEdit still supports the “active document” property, this is no 
  longer necessary. Instead, if a text window is frontmost:

  document 1 of application BBEdit
  document 1 of text window 1 of application BBEdit
  active document of text window 1 of application BBEdit

  now all refer to the same document.

 So, cobbling together that with other stuff from around the web (lots
 of which is old and confusing)

 I tried this:

         tell application BBEdit
                 set thefile to document 1 of application BBEdit
                 set thepath to POSIX path of thefile
         end tell

         do shell script open -e   thepath

 I also tried it without the tell / end tell lines

 But I always get an error such as this:

 https://skitch.com/luomat/f8had/bbedit-as-error

 BBEdit got an error: Can't make POSIX path of text document into type
 POSIX path of text document 1.

 which tells me absolutely nothing helpful.

 Can someone:

 1.      point me in the right direction?

 2.      recommend a good AppleScript for beginners book?

  Rightly so, urls are care insensitive. Why bother keeping the original case

Re: Copy Paste Wrap

[Kendall Conrad]

You should take a look at Zen Coding. It lets you wrap selected text
with HTML tags and other code. I wrote the BBEdit/TextWrangler version
of it. I created additional snippets for PHP for my setup and is easy
to add to. It's very similar to Clippings, but can give you different
behaviors as well, which may be beneficial to what you're trying to
do, and allows you to incorporate the Clipping syntax.

 I have found that sometimes the clipping auto complete is context sensitive.
 I wish it werent so 'smart' as I like to mix my types for type testing, code
 checking etc. like before I can  start typing php_preg_repl I have to
 save the document as a php document. I guess I can use scratchpad for this?

 I do like the select,  clippings replace, then paste option though.

  You can do this with clippings.  Select some text, trigger your clipping,

  However, if you working with HTML, there's a much better way to do this.
   Use the Markup-Tag Maker command.  I have it bound to cmd-m.  It's a life

Re: Syntax aware auto-indent?

[Kendall Conrad]

Here's two AppleScript scripts that I wrote for this type of thing. I
think I made it after a discussion here actually. I have it set with
cmd+return / cmd+shift+return. It handles cases for JavaDoc (/**),
open curly, colon, and by default will just move down a line with the
correct indentation. One benefit is it allows you to execute it no
matter where you're at on the current line. It just looks at the end
of the current line to determine what to do.

The second script is similar except it will create a new line above
the current one with correct indentation and can be executed from
anywhere on the current line. I made these to mimic vim's o and O
commands, though I added extras for o to have some extra output.

Hope these help. They're not automatic, but I have found them very
helpful in coding.

 Hi all!  I recently started checking out BBEdit as an alternative

 When a PHP programmer types an open curly bracket (or a Python
 programmer types a colon) then presses Return, the expectation is that
 the cursor will appear indented one tab further to the right than the
 above line.  However, BBEdit's auto-indent brings the cursor to the
 same level

Re: Expand selection by paragraph

 Does anyone know how I might alter this script so that in addition to
 moving the insertion point. the selection will be expanded along with,
 so that a selection could be increased one paragraph at a time. This
 would be useful, as I often want to extend the current selection by
 more than one line (shift+down) but by less than one screen (shift

Re: Applescript equivalent of Ctrl-O (open line)

It looks like I was over-thinking it. I didn't realize you _only_
needed to handle the case when you were at the end of a line. I was
thinking of vim's command that will create a new line below/above your
current position, no matter where your cursor was currently at on a
line. The scripts I gave before could be simplified quite a bit based
on your need, but the clipping approach is simpler still.

 I didn't even think of using clippings -- my BBEdit skills have

 Thanks for this -- but it seems the #INDENT# placeholder doesn't
 actually insert a tag; it just makes it so the clipping text is
 indented to the current level. If I make the clipping file into:

 return
 #INDENT#tab#INSERTION#

 ...it will work as expected with one big caveat: it will always insert
 a hard tab character rather than respecting the auto-expand tab
 setting.

 However, this did point me in the right direction: I've created a very
 simple AppleScript which returns either a hard tab or a string of
 spaces equivalent to the tab width setting based on whether expand
 tabs it set, and called it from the clipping:

 #INDENT##script maketabs.scpt##INSERTION#

 ...so, thank you!

Re: Applescript equivalent of Ctrl-O (open line)

[Kendall Conrad]

System events are certainly the easier (shorter) way to do it:
---
tell application BBEdit to tell front window
activate
tell application System Events to keystroke end
tell application System Events to keystroke return
tell application System Events to keystroke tab
end tell
---

Here is at least one way to do it with just BBEdit's capabilities:
---
tell application BBEdit to tell front window
set lineNum to startLine of selection
set leng to length of line lineNum
-- Move cursor to end of line
if leng  0 then
select insertion point after (character (leng) of line lineNum)
end if
-- Find leading whitespace
set theResult to find (^[\\s]*) options {search mode:grep}
searching in line (lineNum)
-- Set text to the white space found
set white to 
if found of theResult then
set white to found text of theResult
end if
-- Add extra indent
set white to white  tab
-- Insert a return plus the white space
set selection to return  white
select insertion point after selection
end tell
---

I assumed you were using tabs for indentation. A little surprisingly,
the BBEdit way executed quicker. The system events way also has issues
if you're holding down any modifier keys (e.g., command, control) as
those keys will be attached to the system events when it does the
keystroke. Not so great. I haven't thoroughly tested either solution
FYI.

 I'm working on a little AppleScript that replicates a trivial but

 My script does the right thing now as long as there's nothing on the
 line below where it's executed, but what I'd really like to have
 happen is the equivalent of the Open Line, i.e., when you invoke the
 script at the end of a line that's followed by another one, the second
 line is moved down:

 text here
     |
 text here

 Since my script currently just inserts a return followed by the
 appropriate number of spaces or tabs to indent one tab stop past the
 start of the line it was invoked on, it makes a cheerful mess of
 things in this case. Using Open Line would be much better, I suspect
 -- but I can't figure out how to do so from the dictionary alone. Is
 there a way to actually invoke the Open Line command with BBEdit's
 dictionary, or do I need to go through System Events to pull this off?

I suggest using the Zen Coding scripts I made (http://

 Hi!

 Two questions (using BBEdit 9.6.2):

 1.

 How can I have BBEdit fill-in CSS property values?

 When I am working via a CSS doc, BBEdit will auto-fill/suggest CSS
 properties, but not values. The closest BBEdit comes to suggesting
 anything is this:

 ##

 Which is fine. Here is an explanation of what the above is supposed to
 be:

 [[

 The ## is a placeholder; if you press the Tab key or use Go to
 Next Placeholder (or Go to Previous Placeholder) on the Search
 menu, it gets selected and you can simply type to fill it in.

 ]]

 I don't know about ya'll, but that is not so helpful to me... I don't
 typically write out properties and then go back and fill-in the
 values.

 Any tips on how to get BBEdit to auto-fill values also? Are there any
 plugins? Am I just missing something here?

 I personally think Dreamweaver does a great job at hinting/auto-
 filling CSS (and many other langs). I wish BBEdit had the hint/auto-
 fill feature of DW.

 2.

 In Dreamweaver, I can select some text and use Command-T to wrap
 selected text with an HTML tag.

 Is there something similar in BBEdit? I really miss this feature as it
 speeds up some of the mundane HTML formatting work.

 Thanks!

Re: Newbie: Scripting a better HOME button?

I've learned AppleScript over the years casually from online resources
mostly and downloading other people's code, such as picking up some
new things from John's code that he provided. I'm good with other
programming languages, but Applescript was a very different kind of
language.

I hadn't tested the code with multiple lines. I guess the desired

everything seemed to work right.

 Thank you, Kendall, for that. It's nearly perfect (throws an error if

 it on its own. Did you learn it through experimentation, or books,

 I may fire off an e-mail to Bare Bones with a link to this thread. I'm

Re: Select text after paste

[Kendall Conrad]

One idea. Create some AppleScript that does a Special Paste that finds
out what column you're using indented at then applies the indentation
to to everything after the first line of the text on the clipboard,
then pastes the resulting text into the document. So it doesn't
directly do what you want, but allows you to pre-process rather than
post-process.

I suppose you may be able to create a different kind of script that
records the initial cursor position, and after pasting, will select
back to that point. I think that's doable and would be less code than
the above idea.

 For example, I usually Shift-left or right the block so the pasted

 it annoying to go from the keyboard using Command-V to the mouse to
 reselect the block I just inserted to then go back to the keyboard and
 use Command-[ or Command-].  This is even more annoying when the
 inserted block of code is more than a page length.

 Any suggestions?

Re: Select text after paste

[Kendall Conrad]

I went ahead and tried coding up my second suggestion. It was really
easy actually. I haven't done a ton of testing with it, but seems
pretty good. Just select your content and run this script and it will
paste it into the document and select it.

tell application BBEdit to tell front window
-- Ensure clipboard is not empty
if (length of (contents of (the clipboard as text))) = 0 then return
tell the selection to set offset1 to characterOffset
paste
tell the selection to set offset2 to characterOffset
select (characters offset1 through (offset2 - 1))

Re: Newbie: Scripting a better HOME button?

[Kendall Conrad]

Well, offtone was wanting the script to first go to the smart home
position, and if done again, would go to the start of the line, and if
already at the start of the line, would go to the smart home. The same
behavior often found in IDEs like NetBeans when using the home key.
Your script only went to the smart home, so it was not a full
solution to his problem. It should be obvious he tried your script as
he used most of it in the script he posted.

Re: Newbie: Scripting a better HOME button?

[Kendall Conrad]

From AppleScript Editor you can open dictionaries for each
application. Check out BBEdit's and look for the pieces that let you
look at the current line, then you can make use of the regex you gave
combined with grep search and you should be on your way pretty
quickly. Getting use to the Applescript language will be the biggest
hurdle.

Re: syntax coloring bug

[Kendall Conrad]

I usually notice this with the style tag where if the tag has only a
couple line breaks, the end style tag and the rest of the document
stop being colored. It's hard to consistently reproduce and starts
working right once you start adding content. I can see the same
behavior with the script tag.

A common occurrence is typing in,

script type=text/javascript/script

then place the text cursor between the tags and hit enter twice. Most
of the time I'll see the lower part of the document stop being
colored.

Re: searching!

[Kendall Conrad]

How much HTML/CSS do you know? BBEdit is a text editor so you have to
be really comfortable with these in order to use it for web site
editing. The source code on the page looks like it was probably done
by hand.

You get BBEdit from the Bare Bones web site, 
http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/
(there's a free trial)
Installing it is the same as any application on Mac. Open the disk
image (DMG) and drag it to the Applications folder. The only issue is
that the latest BBEdit requires 10.5.8 or higher. TextWrangler, which
is a completely free version of BBEdit with fewer features works on
10.4.11 and higher so you'll be able to use it,
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ That's where I would
start.

Whether or not it'll get the job done for you depends on your comfort
with a text editor and what you consider to be simple. BBEdit has
plenty of handy features for doing coding and I use it nearly
exclusively for my web development of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

Re: Column insert on uneven lines

[Kendall Conrad]

Well, for 15 chars from end of line you could use regexp (grep in the
find/replace dialog). Here's a crude example

([\w\W]{15})$

Then replace what's found with: newstuff\1

The \1 is what is captured in the regexp.

 Something I do quite a bit is take a file like this:

 mv file3.txt a long filename - 2 - George.txt
 mv file3.txt a long filename - 3 - Alex.txt

 I do this by running one search replace, and then doing a column insert right 
 before the .txt of the list of names.  This works great and I have no 
 problems with it, unless the filenames are of differing lengths:

 fileone.txt
 filethree.txt

 mv filefourteennintytwo.txt filefourteennintytwo - .txt

 and I can no long insert the lines from the second file into the appropriate

 Where I need to insert the names may change depending on what I am working 
 with, and it could be in the middle of a long file name like

 mv IT meeting 2010 04 17 2010 IT Meeting Note - Alex - 20100417.txt

 getting the files to the point where I can then insert the names is not a 
 problem I have processes and searches to do all that, the only issue is not 
 being able to do the column paste because the lines don't line up.  Since I 
 am moving to a standard filenaming convention, the RIGHT side (the target 
 name) is always going to be the same length (up until I paste in the names) 
 so if there was some way to right justify all the lines quickly or to do a 
 column insert at '15 characters from end of line that would sort me out. Or 
 is there something else I am missing?

Re: Open Dialog won't open Project file

[Kendall Conrad]

Looks like I mistyped actually, my file does have that extension
already (.bbprojectd).

@Harald, thanks for that suggestion, unchecking Show hidden files
worked for me. I guess that makes sense in the event someone wanted to
edit those files inside. Thanks for the help guys.

 Renaming the project to use the .bbprojectd filename extension
 will probably solve your problem.

 .bbproject was the extension for old-format projects, but a
 folder with that extension isn't recognized as a project,
 whereas .bbprojectd should be.

 Hope this helps,

Re: Balance and Fold Question

A note on sigs, they only apply to the email versions. Some of us only

Re: Extracting text from tags

[Kendall Conrad]

Working with the text sample you gave the the following seems to work
to give you comma separated email addresses, except for an extra comma
at the end. The find is the same as from the other thread except
doens't have the \r at the end.

find: ([^]+)([^]+)
replace with: \2,

Controlling BBEdit via script other than AppleScript

[Kendall Conrad]

I know how to use AppleScript with BBEdit to move the cursor, replace
content, etc., but can other scripting languages do this as well, such
as Python? I've looked around some, but haven't found anything. I know
about the Run menu and being able to run Python scripts from BBEdit,
but haven't found a way to let Python tell BBEdit to do things like
move the text cursor and replace content at a certain spot.

Re: iPad

[Kendall Conrad]

That was one of my first thoughts after the event. I was really hoping
the iPad's OS was going to be capable of running Mac apps natively,
but got disappointed. Well, that and no USB port. Being able to use a
program like BBEdit on the iPad would very much increase the
likeliness of me getting one as I would haul it and the nifty keyboard
dock to work with me where I'm forced to use Windows all day and miss
having an awesome text editor like BBEdit.

Re: Using grep for organizing emails

[Kendall Conrad]

OK, my original idea should work pretty well for the second format
that you want, just change the replace with to \2. For the comma-
separated addresses on a single line use,

([^]+)([^]+)\r

for the regex, then

\2,

for the replace with. You'll of course need to delete the last command
from the result. That at least worked for me.

  I'll assume it looks something like this,

  Grep: ^([^]+)([^]+)$
  Replace with: \1,\2

  That gets pretty close depending on the exact format you have to work

  If you could provide examples I could give a more precise solution.

Re: Highlighting a string

[Kendall Conrad]

startLine is a built-in in thing, which you can find in the
AppleScript Dictionary for BBEdit. It finds the line where you're
currently selected. You probably don't need the startLine and can just
use selection on its own.

Re: Highlighting a string

[Kendall Conrad]

If it helps, here is some AppleScript I use for one of my scripts that
deals with some selecting of text once I know the indexes.

select (characters stPos through cursorLength of line (startLine of
selection) of front window)

That's inside a tell BBEdit type section.

 I love the balance command in BBEdit and would like to have the same

 So given my cursor position I would like to select the entire string

 strings to other documents.

 I tried some Applescript stuff with a forward and backward search but
 got stuck in the actual selecting within BBEdit. Any -preferable
 elegant- ideas?

Re: Trying to edit a webpage

[Kendall Conrad]

Do you have access to the file? As in, do you have FTP access to the
site where the file is? Once you have access to the file, it's a
simple matter of opening the file in BBEdit and making the edits. Not
sure where your problem is. Not even sure if you're trying to use
BBEdit or DreamWeaver to accomplish this.

Re: Zen Coding: A Speedy Way To Write HTML/CSS Code

[Kendall Conrad]

I did see your script and had tried it out. One big advantage my
script brings is that it can wrap selected text with an abbreviation.
Yours doesn't seem to be able to handle that. Also, my script inserts
the expanded text as a Clipping and makes use of the placeholders so
you can tab to the next edit point as you do with the clippings BBEdit
comes with. You can download my scripts and give them a try. All the
source code is with them too so you can see what I'm up to.


On Dec 17, 8:20 pm, Charlie Garrison garri...@zeta.org.au wrote:
 Good afternoon,

 Did you see the script I sent to this list a few weeks back? The
 script I supplied already works without requiring an AppleScript
 dialog. Just select the abbreviation and run the zencoding
 script (via key shortcut).

 What was not working was the auto-complete behaviour; script
 requires text to be selected rather than just looking for 'word'
 that is before the insertion point. I asked for some support
 from any list memeber to help with just the auto-complete
 behaviour, and the script would be functionally complete.

 So, is your script doing something that mine is not doing? Or is
 it just a duplication of effort? There is no point in there
 being two functionally equivalent scripts; it will just muddy
 the waters for BBEdit users. We should merge our efforts.
