Re: Assigning BBEdit Window Placemements with Multiple Displays

Why not create a new Project; the use the Add button (+) and select all the

I should have added that Ben Hulley was the author of the originals of 
these scripts. See the header material of the "Send_to_Stata_or_R"  for 
some other sources of that script. I  modified or added only about six of 
58 lines in  Ben's original "Send_Selection_To_Stata" .

Scripts to send command files to Stata/R & selected text to Stata

[Steve Samuels]

Stata 13 changed its scripting behavior and broke the previous scripts. 
I've revised them to work with any Stata version.
The scripts are written for StataMP; if you use a different flavor, 
substitute its name.  The "Send_to_Stata_or_R" script
checks the file extension ("do" for Stata, "R" or "r" for R)  to know which 
app is the target.

Re: is there a way to set the location for "save as"

This non-predictable save behavior happens with other apps too.   I now 
rely on Default Folder X for saving and, occasionally, for opening 
documents.  Among the available save & read options is a list of recent 
folders.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "section", but here's a script that will 
select up to any characters. You can then search the selection.

Re: Finder functionality in projects side bar

[Steve Samuels]

I think that the only issue you've identified is that it's tedious it is to 
reveal a project file in the Finder.  Here's one way to do it quickly:  Put 
the following script in BBEdit's Scripts folder and assign it a keyboard 
shortcut. 


tell application "BBEdit"
set fList to selected items of project window 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
select every item of fList
end tell

Is there any way to get finder functionality in the Project Sidebar.

I'd like to rename files and folders, drag and drop files to new 
locations, and get info.

I find it tedious to have to right click, then reveal in finder, then 
do any operation that would be completely intuitive if I was able to do 
this in the Project side bar.

I am wondering if this was a design decision on Bare Bones part or an 
oversight. If it was a design decision, it would be great to find out their 
reasoning.

Thanks,

Re: Finder functionality in projects side bar

[Steve Samuels]

Actually, you don't need the script if you use a trackpad and the Project 
List has focus:  A two-finger  tap on any selected item will open the 
contextual menu  and typing "r" will reveal and select  _all_ currently 
selected files. (Make sure you've checked "secondary tap" in the TrackPad 
Preferences Pane.)  

If you don't use a trackpad, here's a version of the script that will open 
the  folders of multiple items selected in the Project List.

tell application "BBEdit"
set fList to selected items of project window 1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
repeat with i from 1 to count fList
reveal item i of fList
end repeat
end tell

Re: Change document window backgrounds or title bar based on file location?

[Steve Samuels]

Try  Git or Mercury which employ branches to handle differing versions of 
the same files and folders. I avoid the command languages with  SourceTree, 
which has a nice GUI implementation of both. 

desertrat: SourceTree implements Git-Flow (and Hg-Flow) which was designed 
specifically for production and development environments.  See: 
http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/


These work very well with BBEdit.

Re: Editing Git projects in BBEdit (Branch awareness)

[Steve Samuels]

I use git via SourceTree, a local GUI app.  When I switch branches,
open (and closed) BBEdit documents change to the versions in the last
commit of the switched-to branch. Since SourceTree just issues git
commands (switching is "checkout"), I don't know why it doesn't happen
for you.

Re: Rectangular Selection and Edit

[Steve Samuels]

Replacement in a rectangular selection doesn't work in V 9.63 either.
(OS X 10.6.6.)  I get Application error code 13200: "The operation is
not permitted in the current selection".  Perhaps this is a
"limitation" and not a bug.

Re: Mourning the loss of Find extend selection option

[Steve Samuels]

A script here (http://groups.google.com/group/bbedit/browse_thread/
thread/47c18e29cb7139ad/) and here ( http://www.mediafire.com/?ndchk0imd9u9o
) will select all text up to (optionally through) a line containing a
specified search string.  I haven't tested it in BBEdit 10, but it
might get you started.

Re: Search and replace multiple combinations at once?

[Steve Samuels]

You can use AppleScript, maybe in Version 8 (I don't know), certainly
in 9.   I opened Script Editor, and recorded a search, then just
modified it for the subsequent searches. Be aware that Google's Mailer
will break the search lines. Everything from "replace..." to "--End"
is on one line.

-
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
-- This search was recorded

replace "alpha" using "beta" searching in text 1 of text document
"pi50.txt" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false}  -- End
.
-- Next search was just a copy & paste of the previous one
replace "beta" using "gamma" searching in text 1 of text document
"pi50.txt" options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap
around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false} --End

end tell

Re: Per document tab widths

[Steve Samuels]

I don't know anything about PHP, but if the "documents" and
"templates" have different file extensions, you could write an
attachment script to "set tab width to" the number appropriate to the
extension and source language.
The actions will be triggered when you open or save a document. See
the Manual section on "Using Attachment Scripts".

Re: Per document tab widths

[Steve Samuels]

I don't know anything about PHP, but if  "documents" and "templates"
have different file extensions, you could write an attachment script
to "set tab width to" the number appropriate to the extension. Write
the script to run when a document is opened or saved. See the Manual
section on "Using Attachment Scripts".

I don't know anything about PHP, but if the "documents" and
"templates" have different file extensions, you could write an
attachment  script to "set tab width to" the number appropriate to the
extension. Write the script to run when a document is opened  or
saved. .See the Manual section on "Using Attachment Scripts".  (I
don't have the Version 10 page number, I'm afraid. I've reverted to 9
because I prefer the way projects behave there.)

Great! Thanks! Please send it privately and include your full name.
If you are talking about the "DoSelectionRorStata" script, you should
also send it to Josef.  I'll send the new versions to John Gardner at
DataNinja.  Make sure your script still works in BBEdit 9.

Re: Stata/R Applescript with BBEdit 10

[Steve Samuels]

Sorry, that was the wrong version.  I'll upload again when I get a
chance. In the meantime, open the script up in AppleScript Editor and
add "as alias" to the line that begins "set the OriginalFile".  Hit
the compile button.  While the script is still open, select some text
in your do file and hit the run button.  When you are sure the script
is working,  close it and you should be good to go.

I should also add that the original send do-file to Stata and send
selection to Stata scripts were written by Ben Hulley.

Re: Stata/R Applescript with BBEdit 10

[Steve Samuels]

 Scripts to: 1) send a file to R or Stata  and 2) send a selection to
Stata in BBEdit 10 are now at:
 http://www.mediafire.com/?ndchk0imd9u9o

Consider the following script.

tell application "BBEdit"
set x to file of text document 1
x
end tell
-
In BBEdit 9, it will return an object of type "alias"
In 10 it returns an object of type "file".  ("type" might be the wrong
term). In the scripts I changed the set statement to the equivalent
of:

set x to file of text document 1 as alias

Re: Text Coloring Question

Steve,

Have you seen the section on Syntax Coloring on p. 212 of the Manual?
Make sure that Syntax Coloring is checked in the Editor Defaults
preference pane. If the built-in c and php coloring doesn't color
personally defined variables, then I doubt that it's a do-it-yourself
project.

Re: Hotkeys for changing case?

[Steve Samuels]

rowen-

My suggestion won't work, because the "change case" menu command will
do only the option last set in the "change case" menu pane  (e.g.
Upper case, Capitalize).  You'll have to assign a hotkey to a script,
and here is one that will change a selection to upper or lower case,
according to the case of the first letter in the selected text.
-
(* change case of selection
*)

tell application "bbedit"
set _result to find "(?s)(.*?)([a-za-z])(.+)" searching in selection
of text window 1 options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false,
wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match
words:false, extend selection:false}
if found of _result then
set _found to grep substitution of "\\2"
else
display dialog "error... either nothing is selected or there are no
letters in the selection"
return
end if
set _lowcase to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
considering case
if _found is in _lowcase then
change case selection of text window 1 making raise case with
replacing target
else
change case selection of text window 1 making lower case with

if found of _result then

else
display dialog "Error! Either nothing is selected or there are no

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

To automate the process somewhat, here's an AppleScript that will
prompt for the search string. I've provided two versions of the
search, one that excludes, one that includes the line; just comment
out the one you want.   You will probably have to remove line breaks
in the "find" statement  that are inserted by Google Mail. If you put
this in BBEdit's Scripts folder, you can assign it a keyboard in the
Window /Palette/Scripts menu. (By the way, I started writing this
script by recording a simple search.)

Steve
___
(* Search up to Line Containing Specified Text
*)
tell application "BBEdit"
set _searchto to the text returned of (display dialog "Enter search
string" default answer "")
set _sstring to "(?s).+?(?=((?-s)^.*" & _searchto & ".*$))" --exclude
line with search text
-- set _sstring to "(?s).+?((?-s)^.*" & _searchto & ".*$)"  --
include  the line
open find window
find _sstring searching in text 1 of front document options {search
mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:true, backwards:false,
case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} with
selecting match
end tell

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

Mark, your original question was how to select  all text from the
cursor up to the _line_ that
contains specified text. Here are solutions.

Exclude the line from the selection: (?s).+?(?=((?-s)^.*HELLO.*$))
Include the line in the selection:   (?s).+?((?-s)^.*HELLO.*$)

These will fail if the current line contains the text.

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

Mark,  your original question was how to select up to the _line_ that
contained "HELLO".  Here  is  a solution.

Exclude the line from the selection: (?s).+?(?=((?-s)^.*HELLO.*$))

Include the line in the selection:   (?s).+?((?-s)^.*HELLO.*$)

Re: BBedit projects, symbolic links and Finder aliases

[Steve Samuels]

I haven't tried symbolic links, but Folder aliases show and work for
me in BBEdit 9.6.3, OS X 10.6.5.  Have you selected "Everything" in
the Enable drop-down,  when you open the folder?

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

You are welcome, Mark. To give you a head start, with manual
references:

"(?s)" extends the search over line endings (p. 188)

".+?HELLO" searches text up through the first occurrence of HELLO (non-
greedy matching, p. 177)

"(?=HELLO)" says to search up to "HELLO" but not include "HELLO" in
the found text (positive lookahead, pp. 187,190).

Parentheses around "HELLO" are a stylistic choice and don't affect
this search, though they might be important in other, more complicated
searches.

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

You are welcome, Mark.

To give you a head start, with references to the Manual for 9.6.3:
"(?s)"says to skip over line endings ( p.188)

".+?(HELLO) " says to match any characters up to the first HELLO (non-
greedy matching, p. 177)

"(HELLO)"  The parentheses aren't needed, but are useful for setting
off the search string. You could put parentheses around the "HELLO" in
the second string as well ( "(?s).+?(?=(HELLO))"

"(?=HELLO)"  says to match up to HELLO, but not include it in the
selection (positive lookahead, pp 187, 190)

Re: Range operations?

[Steve Samuels]

Searching for  "(?s).+?(HELLO)" will select all text from the cursor
up through the first "HELLO" and "(?s).+?(?=HELLO)" will select all
text up to first "HELLO">.

Re: Scheme for shortcuts

[Steve Samuels]

My Shortcut Scheme:

1. Use as few as possible.  Instead:

2. With iKey or other utility assign single letter control-key combos
to open menus by their name:  "ctrl-x" where x is "a" for "Apple", "f"
for "file", "t" for "text",and so on.  I assign "c" tothe clipping
menu and "2" to the scripts menu.

3. Once a menu is opened, type the first letters of an item to go to
that item.  So, for example, to zap gremlins, I key CTRLl + t + z
+enter.

4. If  there are multiple entries that start with the same letter,  go
to a nearby entry and use an arrow key to move to the one I want.

This scheme will be familiar if you use Windows, where it is built-in
(or used to be): each menu entry has an underlined letter, no
necessarily the first; once the menu is open, typing that letter will
go to the entry.

Re: feature request: distinguish remote documents in text window

[Steve Samuels]

There are a couple of  existing visual cues for documents opened via
SFTP:  the large  BBEdit document icon next to the "i" button on the
tool bar is absent; less helpfully, the document icon itself is subtly
different.  If you want to close all the open  files on the remote
SFTP server,  you can do it via AppleScript:  close  documents whose
"is sftp" property is true.

Re: HOWTO restore the pre-9.6.3 functionality for opening textClipping files

[Steve Samuels]

David privately wrote to me that he meant 9.6.2, not 9.6.3.  With the
pre-release version of 9.6.3 (2885), OS X 10.5.8, PB G4,  if I hold
down the option key when I open a clipping from the menu, the clipping
document opens in a new window, *with* contents.  David reported that
this doesn't work for him in 9.6.2.

Re: HOWTO restore the pre-9.6.3 functionality for opening textClipping files

[Steve Samuels]

For me, with pre-release 9.6.3 (2885), OS X 10.5.8, PB G4, selecting a
clipping with the option key down will open it in a new window,
content intact.

Re: editing css efficiently given BBEdit's auto complete assumptions?

Try logging out and back in.  Perhaps the information is cached.

Re: Un/Comment Selection change in 9.6.1

[Steve Samuels]

I can't tell you what to do in BBEdit, but I wrote a script that will
comment/uncomment each line of a selection. The link is on this page:
http://dataninja.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/unified-generic-commentuncomment-scripts/
. The script does have one advantage over BBE's comment/uncomment
function: if you want to comment/uncomment a single line, it's not
necessary to select it; it's only necessary to have the insertion
point in the line.  You'll have to enter the suffix of the object
pascal documents and the desired comment symbol by hand in the obvious
place in the script.

Re: Something changed with grep?

[Steve Samuels]

>From the release notes (http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/
arch_bbedit9.html): ""Selected text only" affects only the "Find All"
and "Replace All" operations: if there is a selection range in the
front document, this option will search only the selection range if
turned on, or the entire document (starting from the top) if turned
off."
