Chris,

Thank you so much for this. Your trusty script worked perfectly and has for 
sure saved me a nice chunk of time. I really appreciate you sharing this.

Save find/replace match to new file

[Matthew Montgomery]

Hi all,

I’ve got a couple hundred lines in a tab delimited file that I need to 
transform into one new YAML file per line. I’ve got the search and replacement 
patterns all sorted out (thanks pattern playground!) but am getting stumped on 
what I need to do to process the main file. I took a look at a text factory, 
specifically using replace all, but that didn’t seem to have the ability to do 
what I want with regard to new files. 

I basically want to process the main file and save the result of each 
find/replace match in a new file.

I can think of a number of multi-step ways to do this, but I was hoping there 
was something I could do that would accomplish this in a single step. It’s very 
possible I am missing something obvious.

Thanks!

Re: BBEdit as EDITOR

Thanks Sam!

That did it. Switching to export EDITOR="bbedit --wait --resume $@" has it 
working as I'd want.

Re: BBEdit as EDITOR

[Matthew Montgomery]

Oh I take that back. My testing methodology was flawed. :-)

I am still seeing the command line tool exit without waiting when BBEdit hasn't 
already been launched. I will keep trying things and post again if I find a 
working solution.

Thanks.

BBEdit as EDITOR

[Matthew Montgomery]

Hi all,

I have BBEdit setup as my terminal editor via... export EDITOR="bbedit --wait 
--resume"

While using git from the command line, this all works very well for editing the 
COMMIT_EDITMSG file when BBEdit is already running. If I issue a "git commit" 
when BBEdit is not running, it is launched as expected but it seems that the 
bbedit command line tool exits after loading the specified file not upon 
closing the file.

Is there some other way to make this work when launching BBEdit? Perhaps chain 
a separate command that only uses the launch option?

Thanks!

Re: BBEDIT 11.6.1 navigation bar

[Matthew Montgomery]

If you work in full screen mode, I can see how that might get tedious. You'd 
have to move very far depending on your screen resolution and more than likely 
will trigger the menu bar drop-down three times before focusing your rage and 
clicking on the BBEdit toolbar. ;-)

Note, I do not work in fullscreen mode so am terrible at using applications in 
this manner.

Extending Other Languages in CLM

Is it possible to extend say HTML/JavaScript syntax coloring with something 
like Velocity in a Codeless Language Module?

I did find this

past is rearing up here as a .sit archive!
