RegEx 'All Except'?
Is there a way in RegEx to say 'replace all of these except...'?
In the following text:
('The Riddler's False Notion','87312','1966-04-28T00:00:00Z',null),
('Scat, Darn Catwoman','87251','1966-03-30T00:00:00Z',null),
('Surf's Up! Joker's Under!','97151','1966-12-28T00:00:00Z',null),
('I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle!','97091','1966-09-28T00:00:00Z',null),
('The Purr-Fect Crime','97091','1966-09-28T00:00:00Z',null),
('Tut's Case Is Shut','97091','1966-09-28T00:00:00Z',null),
('The Devil's Fingers','17031','1967-10-05T00:00:00Z',null);
single-quote characters are used both as field delimiters and as apostrophes.
So that the text can be inserted into a MySQL database, the apostrophes must be
escaped (\') (Maybe some other characters as well.)
I wonder if I can use a Regular Expression to do the escaping.
For example, the text:
('Surf's Up! Joker's Under!','97151','1966-12-28T00:00:00Z',null),
should be changed to:
('Surf\'s Up! Joker\'s Under!','97151','1966-12-28T00:00:00Z',null),
Now, I *could* try to think of every possible letter or letter combination that
might follow an apostrophe:
's
't
're
etc.
but I might miss some and upon encountering the missed character possibility,
the text would not be properly escaped.
So, I'm wondering, in RegEx, is there a way to specify change ' to \' in all
instances EXCEPT where adjacent to a comma or parentheses? That is, I know that
I need not escape the single-quote characters in these situations:
('
','
',
In those instances, the single-quote is a field delimiter and needed. All other
instances are indeed apostrophes and need to be escaped.
Can RegEx specify that?

Greedy GREP
I must be misunderstanding how {1}? works.
I have documents that contain three instances of lines starting with time :
With these documents, I need to do two things:
1) eliminate from the first instance of ^(time : ) up to but not including the
second instance; and
2) eliminate the third instance of ^(time : ) and everything after it up to but
not including the line starting with startTime :
I would expect (^time : (?s).*) to match the entire document and it does.
So where do I place the {1}? to limit the find to the second, not third
instance of ^time : ?
Using (^(time : ){1}?(?s).*)^time selects up to the third ^time.

Re: BBEdit 10 cost
Ummm, here's a question... The BBE license I last recall reading permitted two copies of BBEdit to be installed. Back when I ran my own server, I had BBE installed both on it and my workstation. That made BBE quite a bargain. Through the app store, isn't the number of Macs that can run a MAS app pretty substantial, in many cases making it an even better bargain? On most of my Macs, I run the free TextWrangler. I have BBE only on my personal workstation. If I but the MAS BBE, I can then install the full BBE on those Macs still wrangling text, correct?

This ought to be very easy. I have html documents containing tables. No colspan or rowspan properties are used so each table row has the same number of columns.

By the way, you can use a character other than / as the delimiter, to avoid

Excellent. Using JD's nifty creation of a temporary filter file, I
now use AS to get the selection, count the table columns, ask which
one to delete then build the RegEx based on the column count and
desired column to be deleted. This gets written to temp.pl in the
Unix filters directory and called to effect the column deletion.
As always, it was an interesting learning experience. Thanks to those
who helped out.

Delete Table Column X
I currently have an AppleScript to delete the third column of a table selected
within an html doc in BBEdit:
tell application BBEdit
activate
select text window 1
select find window
replace
(?s)(tr[^]*\\s*(?:td[^]*(?:(?!/td).)*/td\\s*){2})td[^]*(?:(?!/td).)*/td
using \\1 searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search mode:grep,
starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:false, case
sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
end tell
What I'd like to do is present a dialog and ask which column to delete, then
have the script go and do it. This adds lots of complexity. First off, I need
to count the columns of the selected table. This seems doable by selecting one
table row (everything between tr and /tr) and counting the number of tds
encountered.
I'm thinking I may have to use the equivalent of a case statement, with
separate find/replace criteria for the case where the table has two columns,
three columns, etc.
Within each case, I may need multiple variations -- one for deleting column 1,
another for deleting column 2, and so on.
What I'd prefer, of course, is a more generalized solution that can handle any
number of columns and delete any column designated. So I'm wondering if maybe a
shell script is the solution. I often employ Perl scripts saved within the
script application bundle. AS does some prep and then the Perl script is called
to do the heavy lifting.
Suggestions?

Since I don't think it's possible to pass arguments to a BBEdit Unix
Filter, you can create the filter using Applescript.
This simple example asks which number you want to replace in the
front window, and then writes the Unix Filter with this added as a
variable. If you type 2 in the dialog, all the 2s will be changed
to 2.
tell application BBEdit
activate
set _dd to display dialog Type a digit? default answer
set _number to text returned of _dd
set _appsup to (path to application support from user domain)
set _unixfilters to _appsup BBEdit:Unix Support:Unix Filters:
set _perlscript to _unixfilters temp.pl
try
close access file _perlscript
end try
set _fh to open for access file _perlscript with write permission
set eof _fh to 0
write my SCRIPT_TEXT(_number) to _fh
close access _fh
run unix filter alias _perlscript
end tell
on SCRIPT_TEXT(_n)
return #!/usr/bin/perl
my $n = qq~ _n ~;
while (){
s/$n/$n/g;
print;
}
end SCRIPT_TEXT
When run, this warns me that Unix filters require Unix line endings
and that temp.pl does not have them.

Replace on Different Line Than Find?:
I confess that I don't know how BBEdit currently handles filters
that run in perl. ...
If you use an ordinary Terminal session with the perl code named as
you indicate you would first make sure your working directory is set
with chdir and then enter:
perl -w TitleYear.plPhantom.txt
# - and later. . .
perl -w TitleYear.plKong.txt
I use a number of Perl scripts that are embedded within AppleScrip
wrappers so I can drag and drop files onto them for processing. So
far though, they've all been simple find/replace. For example:
#!/usr/bin/perl -i
use strict;
use warnings;
local $/;
while ($_ = ) {
#if ($string =~ m/seriesID/)
{
s/seriesID/seriesId/m;
s/\ =\ /\ :\ /mg;
}
print;
}
The above script is in the app bundle that calls the script just once
with all the dropped files concatenated:
-- We call the perl script one time with the paths of all dropped files
-- concatenated to the command line.
on open dropped_items
set perlScript to quoted form of (POSIX path of (path to me)
Contents/Resources/metadata.pl)
set commandLine to perlScript
repeat with this_item in dropped_items
-- we don't want to process .mpg files dropped inadvertently
if (POSIX path of this_item) ends with .txt then
-- add this dropped text file to the command line
set commandLine to commandLine quoted form of POSIX
path of this_item
end if
end repeat
do shell script commandLine
end open
I have some other AppleScripts that loop through the dropped files,
calling the internal Perl script once for each dropped file.
The redirection operator tells the shell to use the file following
it to be given to the perl filter as standard input.
AH! I wondered what that was. It's not used in any of my Drag-n-Drop scripts.
Usually, once I can figure out the GREP, I can cobble together
another AS droplet based on one of my current, functional ones. My
Perl knowledge is of the Monkey see, monkey do variety so I clone
one of my scripts that works and modify as needed.
The RegX had me stumped for a while because it seemed like two
separate searches, one to find the four digits, another to find the
line to which the digits would be appended.
Then I realized that the digits always come before the target line,
so it can all be done with one search / replace.
Thanks, I'm sure your examples will help.

Replace on Different Line Than Find?
Is it possible within BBEdit to do a Find getting text from one line and them
do another find/replace to append the original found text to the second found
line? I.e., can BBEdit hold found text for later use?
If not, then I need some Perl help.

movieYear : and get the four digits following the space and before the line
end character.
^movieYear : (\d{4})
I need to append a space and the four digits (within parentheses) to the end of
the line beginning title :
So, if I call the Perl script:
/path/to/perl/script.pl /path/to/Phantom.txt /path/to/Kong.txt
and if the files passed to the script contain among their lines
Phantom.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1925
additional lines of text
title : The Phantom of the Opera
more lines
Kong.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1933
additional lines of text

I need the script to produce:

Re: Replace on Different Line Than Find?
At 7:58 AM -0700 11/1/10, Warren Michelsen sent email regarding
Replace on Different Line Than Find?:
Is it possible within BBEdit to do a Find getting text from one line
and them do another find/replace to append the original found text
to the second found line? I.e., can BBEdit hold found text for later
use?
If not, then I need some Perl help.
It looks like, in the files I need to process, the movieYear line
always precedes the title line so that I can use BBEdit to:
Find:
(^movieYear : )(\d{4})((?s).+)(^title : )(.*$)
Replace
\1\2\3\4\5 \(\2\)
How would I express this particular find/replace in a Perl script?
Within each file passed to the Perl script, I want to find the line
beginning movieYear : and get the four digits following the space
and before the line end character.
^movieYear : (\d{4})
I need to append a space and the four digits (within parentheses) to
the end of the line beginning title :
So, if I call the Perl script:
/path/to/perl/script.pl /path/to/Phantom.txt /path/to/Kong.txt
and if the files passed to the script contain among their lines
Phantom.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1925
additional lines of text
title : The Phantom of the Opera
more lines
Kong.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1933
additional lines of text
title : King Kong
more lines
I need the script to produce:
Phantom.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1925
additional lines of text
title : The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
more lines
Kong.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1933
additional lines of text
title : King Kong (1933)
more lines
Anyone care to lend a hand?

Flip a Table
I have tables containing data in reverse chronological order. I'd like it to be chronological so I'm thinking I can just move the table rows around. Seems like it would require a separate scratch file to hold the re-ordered rows until all rows have been copied, then replace the selection with the re-ordered rows. I.e., Take the last table row (cutting or removing it) from the selection and move it to the scratch area. Take the last table row and move it to the end of the scratch area. Lather, rinse, repeat until all rows have been cut from the original Then move the scratch contents to the original document. I'm guessing that Perl is the best tool for this job. It has a reverse function so I'm guessing that the original selection could be read into an array, using tr and /tr as delimiters, then regurgitated in reverse order of the original. Anyone have something like this lying around or an example showing how to get table rows into an array? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups.

How you do it will depend on where your line-breaks are. If your file reads
tr1/tr
tr2/tr
tr3/tr
tr4/tr
tr5/tr
then it is simple. Just write the following little routine, select
the lines in the document you want to reverse and run the script.
#UNIX SCRIPT:
Is this a Perl script? Should it start with:
#!/usr/bin/perl

while () {
chomp;

}
for (reverse @_){
next if /^$/; # ignore blank lines

Select Numbers match by value and Reverse sort. Finally go back to Add/Remove Line Numbers... to remove the line numbers previously added. The result will be a reverse order of the data. Just had to format compact first and replace /tr with /tr\r to get each row on its own line, then this add/remove line numbers trick worked fine.

I can connect via sftp using BBEdit with the root account. It works fine for me. With no password? If you can ssh to the machine as root, then you should be able to connect as root from with BBEdit. That was my expectation. So I'd be very curious to know if anyone can successfully connect via BBE's sftp as root with no password. I can, so that's at least one. I throw a question back; are you able to connect as root (without password) via ssh from the command line? Yes. Previously I would ssh to the server in question (in Terminal) as other than root then su to root (or sudo) to edit configuration and other files that I could not edit without being root. But I would like the convenience of BBEdit's features when editing such files. Since sftp cannot 'su' to root, I enabled the root account and set it, as I did my other account, to use keys for password-less log-in. ssh from Terminal works just fine. I'd expected that just leaving out the password when sftp'ing as root would Just Work but it doesn't, and I'm puzzled. I can use passwordl-ess sftp using another non-root account. Root seems to be treated differently. I was watching both secure.log and system.log while trying to get BBE to log in as root without a password over a network connection. Here's what secure.log showed: Aug 14 11:08:22 smtp com.apple.SecurityServer: authinternal failed to authenticate user root.

shell, perl script to count identical lines?
Does anyone have a shell or Perl script for BBEdit which will count identical lines in the front-most document and report the results? Ideally, create a new text document with a listing of each unique line and the number of instances of that line, perhaps preceding that line so the results can be sorted by number of occurrences. I've distilled my DNS server query log down to just the domain looked up and the type query (eliminating date, time, querying IP, etc.). Now I'd like to get a count of the lookups to see which are looked up most often.

Seems like a strategy would be to find the entire document in three parts: the lines before the target line the target line the lines following the target line. Then just replace with \2\1\3 If, for example, the target line is: startTime.*/startTime how do I make it the middle part of the found text? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

Scripting Find and Copy Here, Paste Elsewhere?
Is there a way to script BBEdit to find text in one place, copy a part of it then find text elsewhere and paste the previously copied text into the other found text? Multiple times? I am downloading hundreds of recordings from my TiVo DVRs and each is accompanied by a text file of metadata. One line in that text file will be of the form: originalAirDate : 2009-04-06T00:00:00Z in this line, I'm interested in the 10 characters in -MM-DD format. I need to copy those characters and paste them elsewhere in the document. There are *other* occurrences of dates in -MM-DD format and I want to replace each of those with the year-Month-Day copied from the first (originalAirDate) Find operation. I want to script this. I can find the first -MM-DD and copy it using: Find: (originalAirDate : )(?Porig\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d) but how do I hold onto \Porig so I can do the subsequent Find operations and use it (\Porig) as the replacement text? (There will typically be three more occurrences of the -MM-DD format. Of course, I could probably do a whole folder of such files in a few seconds using Perl or some-such, if I knew Perl... Would someone care to help me with this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

PHP Formatting, Syntax Checking, Pasting Non-Breaking Spaces
Does BBEdit have the ability to format and syntax check php code as it does html code? Is there a hidden php palette somewhere that I have yet to find? And, as long as I've got your attention, when I use sites like http://www.phpformatter.com/ the output code comes back formatted using non-breaking spaces for padding. When copied and pasted into a BBEdit doc, the presence of non-breaking spaces breaks the code. I wondered why my code would break each time I formatted it, even though the only (visible) difference between before and after was white space. It turns out that, if I use Firefox or SeaMonkey with these code formatter sites, when I copy/paste, the non-breaking spaces are changed to plain old spaces. The code does not break. Other browsers copy the non-breaking spaces to the clipboard. No that I know of the problem, it's a simple enough matter to find/replace to fix the spaces. But is there a setting somewhere in BBEdit that can automatically change to spaces when pasting non-breaking spaces? If not, might this be a reasonable option to add to the Editor defaults (right in there with auto indenting and smart quotes? Of course, I wouldn't have to use php/Javacsript/etc formatter sites if I had this functionality within BBEdit... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

Here's a suggestion. In the text factory, how about a token of some kind that can be optionally inserted. It would be initialized in the text factory options (initial value, increment) and we could place it into the prefix, suffix, or whatever other places within text factories that make sense. I certainly would find it handy... Tokens for other things might be handy too. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

If that field is the primary key and set to auto-increment in MySQL,
you can have the database automatically increment the numbers...
Wonderful. Yes, the first field is the primary key and set to auto_increment.
INSERT INTO `tablename` (`field2`) VALUES ('Item one');
INSERT INTO `tablename` (`field2`) VALUES ('the second item');
Thanks, I'll do it that way.
But I'm still curious to know if there exists a mechanism to
auto-increment an index in a text factory. I'd had other occasions
when I wanted to number lines and such. Is there a way to do so?

I typically need to insert an incremented number in mid-line somewhere. Is there maybe a way to do this with GREP? Say, find xxx and replace with xxx[index]? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

Index within a Text Factory?
I've been converting plain text lists for importation into a MySQL database. The text file lines look like this: INSERT INTO `tablename` VALUES (1, 'Item one'); INSERT INTO `tablename` VALUES (2, 'the second item'); and so on. Note that the first field is an integer that needs to be incremented for each new line. Can this be done within a Text factory? I was getting ready to try a Text Factory (my first time) and don't see an option or way to add an index when using the Prefix/Suffix action. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.
