Re: Possible with Grep?

[Mike Pasini]

I did this once upon a time but had to use separate replacements for each 
case pattern. Here's an example you can run in BBEdit:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

@data = ( "word","Word","WORD");

$mask = "%-10s >> %s\n";

for $datum (@data) { 
printf $mask, $datum, fix($datum);
print "\n";
}

sub fix {
local $_ = shift;
s/\b[a-z]+?\b/something/g;
s/\b[A-Z][a-z]+?\b/Something/g;
s/\b[A-Z]+?\b/SOMETHING/g;
return $_;
}

Re: Need Grep Pattern

[Mike Pasini]

Let's describe the pattern you are trying to split. There's more than one 
way to do that (as the replies to you query show) but by focusing on a 
general pattern (what must always be true about your original text), we can 
make a more reliable regexp.

You want to capture everything up to the first space -- ^(.+?)/s -- 
followed by just about anything (.+?)/s until you see a string of numbers 
including a period ([\d.]+?)$ at the end of the line.

So try: ^(.+?)\s(.+?)\s([\d.]+?)$

In BBEdit, you can put that in the Find dialog with \1\n\2\n\3\n\n in the 
replace to make the three groups clear (substitute \t for the first \n for 
tabs).

Re: AppleScript to upload front-displayed file to correct location via FTP?

[Mike Pasini]

I use a Keyboard Maestro palette full of scripts based on the Execute Shell 
Script action to upload and refresh files on my site. The approach is 
different for uploading a new directory of files and for uploading a single 
file but both rely on the built-in Unix utility curl to do the dirty work.

Some of the scripts prompt me for a file, others know which file to refresh 
but the current Finder selection would work too.

You'd use the Do Shell Script command to run curl within AppleScript.

Re: Tricky regex question

Yep, it's tricky. This (https://regex101.com/r/xQ5vd6/4) works on your 
example text (surrounding chords with bold HTML tags) but will fail on any 
lyric line that begins with anything from A to G. And it doesn't handle the 
more complex chord designations (like flats).

Which would suggest the best approach would be a little Perl script you 
could access as a Text Filter in BBEdit that would just look at 
odd-numbered lines (assuming the chords are first in the selection) and add 
the HTML formatting where a chord is found, no doubt using several regexes, 
looking for the longer, more complex strings first.

Re: Noob trying to improve on these grep / expressions

[Mike Pasini]

Yes, Perl is installed on OS X and you can extend its functionality with 
modules like the one I mentioned. But you do have to write code to create a 
BBEdit Text Filter (although not much more than what the module's example 
shows). You can find the Apple Text Filter option under the Text menu item 
in BBEdit and you can even edit those examples. But I understand that's a 
big leap to make.

Re: Noob trying to improve on these grep / expressions

[Mike Pasini]

Dj, Process Lines processes *lines* not sentences. So any paragraph that 
has a sentence with a question mark in it would match searches for strings 
with question marks.

Identifying a sentence is not a simple task. But there's a Perl module 
 to help with that. Using 
that in a Text Filter would be my approach.
