I'd never noticed this possibility before, so I opened a file and tried it 
out. Sure enough, it does indeed strip (most of) the HTML. I'm sure I'll 
find a use for it occasionally.

I have an observation about how the command handles links as well as named 
entities.

In my test...
*a href=index.htmlTitle page/a / * became *Title page index.html / *

... and...
*nbsp;* or *copy;* became �

I suppose there are limits to what can be done, but I thought these bits 
were odd. Obviously the link is being parsed, so wouldn't it make sense to 
drop it if all code is being removed? Also, I would have expected named 
entities to be recognized.

 This seems intentional and like the right behavior to me. If I am 
 previewing in a text window, I am very likely to want the links. In fact, I 
 can't think of a case where I would *not* want the links. 


I can. :-)  If I were using this command to get the content out of an old 
page of HTML to repurpose it, it's extremely likely I wouldn't want the 
links. But that's just me, and my workflow. It's easy enough to get rid of 
the links after this command does its thing.

 That seems like a mistake. WHat is the encoding default for your text

Western (Mac OS Roman), which is a setting I can't recall ever changing, so 
it's probably the default from a long way back. (I've used BBE since 
dinosaurs roamed the Earth.)

Re: Double Click

2012-12-07 Thread RobS
They know about it, or at least they know about my similar problem with my 
MS Mouse, which also won't double-click in BBE 10.5. (Also, I can't 
single-click into the Live Search field. Can you do that?) I gave the devs 
feedback about this during the 10.5 beta phase. They replied...

We've made some extensive but necessary architectural changes in BBEdit 
10.5, and these changes have exposed a bug in the mouse drivers that 
fortunately didn't affect prior versions of BBEdit.

The catch is that because we *must* make these architectural changes, 
there is correspondingly no way to avoid the bug, as the mechanics involved 
with event handling don't allow it.

They also tested a Logitech mouse with the same results.

I'm therefore remaining at 10.1.2 until some sort of fix is available, 
wherever that fix comes from.

BBEdit text document as a Finder Kind

2012-07-24 Thread RobS
Hi,

In my local web site folders, the .html files sort into two separate groups 
when sorted by Kind in Finder. One group's Kind is BBEdit text document, 
the other's is Text file. Making and saving a change in a Text file 
changes nothing. But making and saving a change in a BBEdit text document 
immediately causes that file's Kind to change to Text file.

Is this normal? Is it settable in a Prefs setting in BBEdit?

I would greatly prefer to get them all to sort as one Kind (and Apple 
doesn't offer sorting by extension.) Can the Kind be changed in a batch by 
scripting, or by clever terminal commands, or by a third party utility?

Thanks for any hints you can offer.

Not a shortcut key, but...

Open the file in BBEdit for editing. Open the same file in your browser. 
When you have changes in the file, Save in BBE and then Refresh in the

But did you know you can change what the shortcut keys do in BBEdit and can 
add more of them? Go into PrefsMenus  ShortcutsMarkup menu and see what

 The BBEdit Manual says in so many words that balance only works

I've been using BBE so long I can't find any non-BBE files to try it on. But 
yes, it certainly works on files from unknown sources -- I just tried it on

I wonder if that would work in your case? Choose Save As... and see if the

grep help needed for spaces in mailto links

2011-08-15 Thread RobS
Hello,

I need to turn all instances of ...

*“mailto:someone@site**.ca**?subject=Hello John”

... into ...

**“mailto:**someone**@**site**.ca**?subject=Hello%20John”*

Basically, find any mailto link with a subject, and then find any space in 
that subject and replace it with %20. I need to do this across a large site 
with many nested directories. There are (I counted) 733 mailto links with a 
subject.

As usual, my grepping skills are lacking, probably because I only need some 
new tweak every couple of years or so.

Thanks, as always,

Re: Project window editor

Clearly, clicking into windows of various types has changed -- presumably 
with the change to Cocoa. In my case I have been in the habit, when I wanted 
to munge some text, of copying the text from wherever it is, bringing BBE to 
the front, doing Command-N and then Command-V and then proceeding to munge. 
Now I sit there for a few seconds wondering why the text isn't appearing 
before I recall that I have to click once in the new BBE window to get its 
attention before the Paste will work. I suppose I will get used to this, in 
the same sense I'd get used to having one less finger -- reluctantly but 
thoroughly.

 Can no longer re-edit a tag using Command-Option-M (I don't remember

 That got me too, until I found it, now under Command-M.

Adding an image via the new markup panel is very cumbersome: 
 (a) apparently no keyboard shortcut to invoke a file chooser dialog; 
 (b) no way to resize the file chooser dialog when it's at the bottom 
 of the screen--Apple's fault perhaps but would not have been an 
 issue in the old BBEdit edit link dialog; 
 (c) no size tags once a file is selected; 
 (d) apparently enforced alt text, inserted even if I delete it.


I tend to use reusable chunks of code a lot. I have one for images, all 
wrapped in nested divs so I can style the image and its caption. Assign a 
keyboard shortcut to a Clipping containing such a thing and you're good to 
go. Just drag the image into the spot left for it. Something like this...
div class=whatever
 div class=img--drag your img in here--/div
 div class=captionxxx/div
/div
 

 The Paragraph… command seems broken, as it seems dumb and only wraps 
 the entire selection in paragraph tags. This is what the next command 
 in the Block Elements submenu, Paragraph, is for, no? 

 When I select text and make a paragraph out of it (using the 
 Paragraph… command), the whole paragraph, including tags, used to be 
 selected. Now only the original text is selected, necessitating a 
 manual Select Paragraph to do another operation (I often add a 
 blockquote).


 Yes, I see that with the Paragraph... command. But I usually input text 
which contains things like curly quotes, which need to be translated, so for 
years I've been using the Translate command (Command-Option-T.) It does all 
the things I need to do to the text, and it gives me paragraphs in chunks 
(defined by empty lines.)

Annoying window problem

2011-04-10 Thread RobS
Hi,

I had a need to pick through a complex poem to edit small changes. I opened 
the old version and the new version (without any HTML code) in two windows, 
then chose Compare Two Front Documents from the Search menu. They 
immediately jumped into their usual positions, with the two docs left and 
right and the diffs window full width below them. But I wanted to work on a 
third window containing the full web page while viewing the differences, to 
make it much easier to find them mixed in with the code. So I opened the web 
page in a third window and arranged everything to fit. This worked fine 
until I selected the second line in the diffs window. Whsh! The two docs 
and the diffs window were back where they started and my third window was 
invisible behind them. !?!

When I arrange windows I want the program -- *any* program, including BBEdit 
--
to leave them where I put them. Period. Programs should never reach out and 
rearrange windows. It's obnoxious and intrusive and a whole lot of other 
words I don't feel like typing at the moment.

I don't suppose there's a hidden pref that will tell BBE to stop doing this?

Re: Attaching a CSS style sheet to a new HTML doc.

2011-03-14 Thread RobS
Absolutely! I was confused by the relative looseness of English. Relative to 
a file in a particular folder, the paths I gave would be absolutely correct 
while actually being relative paths as defined in the regs.

I suppose the only absolutely absolute path would be the full URL of the css 
file which, as I understand it, would not be a good thing to do for 
something as oft requested as a css file.

To the good folks at Barebones,

I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying the new Live Search
bar. I often need to find places to work within a document, but I also
need to use the search and replace dialog for more powerful and useful
things that I want to retain for a while during a work session. Using
the Live Search bar for lcoating myself is extremely handy. And I just
discovered that, if I split the window pane in order to do some cut
and paste without losing my place, the live Search will restrict
itself to just the current pane. Delightful!

Thank you for such an excellent product.

And now, about that iPad I'll be getting soon. ... ;-)

Re: BBEdit for iPad?

While I too would be extremely interested in BBEdit Lite for iPad,
there is, in fact, such an editor already available. It's available at
the app store for $3.99 and includes all the features people have
mentioned above as being sufficient. It's called Editor for iPad. I
haven't tested it because I don't have an iPad yet. But soon, ...

That price -- $3.99 -- is enough to give pause to any developer. Dare
we ask Barebones to create BBEL for iPad and then sell it for less

Fix Implicitly Closed Tags script needeed for XHTML

2010-03-22 Thread RobS
Hi,

I come to beg...

I used to use the old (came with BBE 6) Fix Implicitly Closed Tags
script alot. Doing poetry on-line, I often have to use spans to indent
lines, and poetry being poetry, there is no predictability to it, so I
need to manually paste in the span at the start of the line. To avoid
having to go over the poem again manually pasting in the /span part of
the tag set, I used to run the script. Sahzaam! Closed tags.

But, the script says right in its comments that it doesn't work with
XHTML. I can't see from reading the script why it doesn't. Certainly
the syntax warnings it requires work fine. Does anyone know how to
modify the script to work with XHTML?

Re: Fix Implicitly Closed Tags script needeed for XHTML

2010-03-22 Thread RobS
Thanks for the suggestion Carlton. I had a quick look at Tidy and its
selectable options under Markup  Tidy ... but I saw nothing there
that would just close tags. I'm fussy about how my code is laid out so
I've never used Tidy except in extremis. Will it work on just the
selected text? If so, what options do I need to chose for it to only
close tags?

Perhaps a simpler approach...

Can someone suggest a grep that will select all text on one line which
follows an opening span tag (see example below) and which precedes a
closing tag which is not a span?

Example...

pFirst linebr /
another linebr /
another linebr /
another linebr /
last line./p

That's what I always start with. Then I add some spans manually...

pFirst linebr /
another linebr /
span class=ind2another linebr /
another linebr /
span class=ind2last line./p

...and I need to close the spans.

That's simpler and more limited in scope (always a good thing) than
the close tags script I used to use -- though it had its charms. ;-)

Re: Fix Implicitly Closed Tags script needeed for XHTML

2010-03-22 Thread RobS
To complete my example, and to clarify the confusion, I want the
closing span to always be just in front of the tag -- be it br / or
/p -- at the end of each line. So this is the desired result...

pFirst linebr /
another linebr /
span class=ind2another line/spanbr /
another linebr /
span class=ind2last line./span/p

I can see it would be difficult to make a general purpose script, but
remember, the old script did work fine; it just doesn't work for XHTML
docs. But as I mention in my second post above, a grep would do what I
need just as well. But my brain doesn't seem to be able to grasp grep.

So can someone tell me the grep to select all the text after an
opening span tag and before the tag at the end of that line? With
that in hand I can probably put it into a copy of a working script
that will iterate through the selection. I used to be able to script,
a bit.

Re: iPad

2010-02-22 Thread RobS
It's interesting to note that the iWork apps in the iPad can read in
Microsoft Office files as well as iWorks for OS X files, but can
output only iWorks files or PDFs. It seems as if connecting to the Mac
is done through Bluetooth or via a WI-FI network, like an iPhone would
do. I can't recall seeing anything about a hardware connection.

I would be VERY interested in a simplified (if necessary) BBEdit for
the iPad. I rarely do anything but web work, so those are the parts of
BBE I need, but I'll forgive others for muddying the waters with their

For example, the update software could not just enquire as to whether

come to a full stop if any are found. Rather it could drill down to

adding any new folders as required. It might even pop up a useful

BBEdit users are the most likely kind of users to modify things like

get the current Clippings folder because their old one contained

Re: How to indicate NEW content in a timely manner?

2009-10-21 Thread RobS

Sorry, I was so close to the problem that I forgot to explain a
salient point. It's not the page that is new; it's items within the
page. So indicating that the page has been updated would not help
since it's always being updated. See, for example...
http://www.jottings.ca/john/voices/reservoir1.html

There are about 35 NEW indicators within the page, indicating that
certain poems have been added recently. But some of them are not very
recent and the NEW indicator should be removed. I was hoping for some
sort of parameter that could be added to the span that would help me
automagically remove old ones from time to time.

a little grep help please

2009-06-08 Thread RobS

Hi,

As usual, grep beyond the most basic defeats me. I must suffer from
dysgrepia.

I use the following little thing to add BR tags to the end of lines
I've selected...
 Find: \r
 Replace: br /\r
...with Selected text only checked.

Even I can do that. ;-)

I use this for poems where I define stanzas using P tags and blank
lines. Which means I end up selecting the first to second-last lines
of each stanza, click the Find dialog to bring it to front, click
Replace all, click the main window, select another stanza, etc.

It would be extremely helpful if I could select the entire poem, top
to bottom and do this replace once. But of course, doing that with my
current pattern means I end up having to delete extraneous BR tags. So
to my question...

How can the Find/Replace pattern be improved so it skips over blank
lines and any line ending in /p?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: BBEdit 9.2.1 (2527) pre-release

I can duplicate this result using the above steps in BBE 9.2 (2526)
running in OS X v10.4.11 on an intel iMac. In fact, when I selected
the Recent drop-down to check, I noticed that the majority of the
listings said Replace: (nothing), which means (because I usually
search using Command-E, Command-Option-E and Command-= without ever
seeing the dialog) that this is happening with some regularity. I
couldn't recall anything that would be helpful in deducing why a few
of the Recent listings did include the replace string while most did
not.

Re: Files Not Always Saving

If I may jump in here, I'm curious about this. I had always understood
that version control systems were just that, ways of controlling which
version of a file is worked on and saved in a multi-user environment.
Why would a single author need such a system? (I'm not being
argumentative -- I just don't want to miss out on a good thing, if it
is a good thing for me.)

I manage several sites, some quite large, and simply use my own filing
system locally to manage what I work on, FTPing the results to the
server as and when needed. I use Transmit to do the FTP tasks. Maybe
that makes it easier to manage, though I'm not sure, since I've never
used BBEdit's built-in abilities for that, and so can't compare.

Now THAT I could find very useful indeed. I work on a couple of sites
(more to come) which use an eCommerce engine (Zen Cart, written in PHP
and mySQL). I can see myself first uploading a default set of files to
a new site, and then uploading my changed set. (I always do the
changes locally with the cart running in MAMP). So if Subversion (or
another) can give me an easy compare between that default set and the
current set, that would be very valuable. I can, of course, do that
file by file in BBEdit, but Zen Cart has hundreds of files in many
dozens of folders and sub-folders, so some sort of an all-at-once
compare to a known working version would be very nice.

Thanks for the tip,

Rob

Re: Can I choose which clipboard type to paste?

2009-03-24 Thread RobS

While you're in Word, why not save the Word document as an HTML
file,
then open the saved HTML file in BBEdit? 

Have you ever looked at the result of doing that? It's a minefield of
garbage code, which has to be carefully cleaned up before you can use
it in your site -- if, that is, you want clean code which validates.
If not, then Word's HTML will do, I guess.

I've often wondered...

2008-10-07 Thread RobS

...and now I need to know. (And being a good boy scout, I did search
the Manual and the Help too.)

In the Get Info dialog, for an XHTML document, what is counted as
words? Take this code fragment for example...

 div class=img-lock 
 a href=art/j-some.html onclick=popup('art/j-some.html'); return
false; 
 img src=imgs/j-some-sm.jpg alt=Some Picture Here, 1950
width=94 height=140 /  /a  br / 
 i Some Picture Here /i , 1950
 /div 

How many words? Just the 4 that are visible when the page is rendered
in a browser? Or would it be 8, including the alt tag's contents? Or
more?

Chars and lines will be everything in the code, I suppose. And I'm
guessing paginate is also counting the pages including code, not any
possible rendered version. So it's just words I'm unclear about.
