Re: python language server

[TJ Luoma]

Homebrew used to use /usr/local/ but on Apple Silicon uses /opt/homebrew/

My guess is that BBEdit isn’t getting the $PATH set properly, although I’m
on my iPhone and not sure how to fix it at the moment.

I hope this might help.

Easiest way to replace all matches

[TJ Luoma]

Assume a 'regular' text file.

I'd like to be able to select a word, press a key, and have all instances
of that word be surrounded by {brackets}.

For this example,  the words would all be names so you would not need worry
about "What if the word is {and} but the word "br{and}s" also exists?

I could hack this together with Keyboard Maestro but I wondered if there
was a more native way to accomplish this

Thanks for your help!

This works great so far! I will give it additional testing next week, but
on first tests it seems to be working great.

It does leave a horizontal scrollbar, but there’s nowhere to scroll it. If
I enlarge the window by just a tiny bit (as little as I can), it goes away.
I’m not sure if that’s something that can easily be changed (just to make
the scrollbar disappear) but if not that’s really a minor nit.

Thank you!

p.s. - I have an "always on" M1 Mac Mini running Big Sur (obviously). If

It would be easy enough to set up, and I thought it might be useful until

Re: AppleScript to make window wide enough to not scroll?

[TJ Luoma]

Hi Chris

I had a feeling you'd know the answer to this one… because you had already
written it :-)

Unfortunately I'm getting an error that I don't understand at all. I pasted
the full message here

https://images.luo.ma/temp/script-debugger-2021-05-31-09.21.15.png

FWIW, I don't use the sidebar. All of my BBEdit windows are one-document
each (unless I'm doing a mass-search-and-replace, and then I close that
windo as soon as I'm done).

I also use 'Inconsolata-g' 16 as my font size (used to be 13, but not long
after I got a 4K monitor I finally got tired of always having to increase
the zoom level on all my BBEdit windows so I finally caved and increased
the default font size :-)

AppleScript to make window wide enough to not scroll?

[TJ Luoma]

Hi all, my name is TJ and I don't understand AppleScript, hence I
come, again, asking for help from those who do.

I like to set "Soft Word Wrap" to "Window Width".

But then I often find that I want to adjust the width of the window so that
it is _just_ wide enough to not need a horizontal scroll bar.

Tonight it occurred to me that this would be a good place for automation,
but I can't figure out if that's possible, and Google is no help because it
just tells me how to change word wrap or other word-wrap related things
that are not the thing I'm looking for.

So it's possible that there's no way to do this, or there is a way and I
just wasn't able to find the right search terms.

Anyone know if this can be done, or should I start a campaign to have it
added to BBEdit 14 ;-?

Thanks, all.

It's also on the BBEdit website

<https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/manual.html>
https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/manual.html

which I found via 'bbedit manual pdf' into my search engine of choice.

I know first-hand that it's hard to think of some of these things when
you're very focused on trying to fix an issue — plus I've *had* access to
the manual and missed answers to questions I've had -- so this is not meant
as a criticism, just as a tip that I hope will be handy if anything like
this comes up again.

FWIW - I also keep a folder with software manuals at ~/Dropbox/Bookshelf/
which has come in handy over the years.

Re: Stop adding ^M characters

[TJ Luoma]

I believe those are line endings for Windows line-endings.

When editing a file, see if you see "Windows (CRLF)" at the bottom of the
window 'chrome'.

If so, click on it and change it to "Unix (LF)".

Git will be happier then.

Re: AppleScript question

That reminds me of trying to learn how to use Unix commands and having
people tell you to "Read the `man` page!"

Years ago (Usenet days, I think) I had a ".sig" file (remember those?)
which included this: "If I understood the man page, I wouldn't have asked
the question".

Real-world examples are always good. Even with some 'textbook examples' I
find myself wondering what is placeholder text and what is not.

If you use Keyboard Maestro, you can emulate this behavior using

Re: How to check BB_DOC_PATH

It's hard to be exact without seeing your script, but let's use the basic
example pandoc command:

pandoc -o output.html input.txt

Now, if you are in your $HOME folder and ran this command:

pandoc -o output.html /some/other/folder/input.txt

then 'output.html' would be created in your $HOME folder, and not
"/some/other/folder/"

so what you really want is

pandoc -o /some/other/folder/output.html /some/other/folder/input.txt

There are a few ways of getting this. The usual way is `dirname`

If you add

DIR=$(dirname /some/other/folder/input.txt)

then DIR would equal /some/other/folder/

and you could use

pandoc -o "$DIR/output.html" /some/other/folder/input.txt

to get both files in the same directory.

So, going back to the BBEdit example, if `$BB_DOC_PATH` has the full path
to the file, you could use

DIR=$(dirname "$BB_DOC_PATH")

In zsh you don't need to use `dirname` you can use `:h` at the end of the
variable, like so:

DIR="$BB_DOC_PATH:h"

That will give you the `head` of the path, which is equal to the dirname.

Putting all of that together,

Example #1 (bash):

DIR=$(dirname "$BB_DOC_PATH")

pandoc -o "$DIR/output.html" "$BB_DOC_PATH"

Example #2 (zsh)

DIR="$BB_DOC_PATH:h"

pandoc -o "$DIR/output.html" "$BB_DOC_PATH"

I hope that's helpful. If you need more info, please feel free to ask.

progressive indenting until blank line

[TJ Luoma]

I'm not sure how to describe this so I'm just going to show it.

Let's say that I have some text that looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Vel elit scelerisque mauris pellentesque.
Est pellentesque elit ullamcorper dignissim.
Elit scelerisque mauris pellentesque pulvinar pellentesque
habitant morbi tristique.
Duis tristique sollicitudin nibh sit amet commodo nulla.

Arcu non odio euismod lacinia at quis.
Enim sed faucibus turpis in.
Posuere ac ut consequat semper viverra.
Odio pellentesque diam volutpat commodo sed egestas egestas.

Porttitor lacus luctus accumsan tortor posuere ac ut.
Bibendum neque egestas congue quisque egestas.
Nisi lacus sed viverra tellus in.
Ullamcorper morbi tincidunt ornare massa eget egestas purus.
Sed elementum tempus egestas sed.
Purus in mollis nunc sed id semper.
Cras sed felis eget velit aliquet sagittis id consectetur.

And I want to make it look like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Vel elit scelerisque mauris pellentesque.
Est pellentesque elit ullamcorper dignissim.
Elit scelerisque mauris pellentesque pulvinar pellentesque
habitant morbi tristique.
Duis tristique sollicitudin nibh sit amet commodo nulla.

Arcu non odio euismod lacinia at quis.
Enim sed faucibus turpis in.
Posuere ac ut consequat semper viverra.
Odio pellentesque diam volutpat commodo sed egestas egestas.

Ullamcorper morbi tincidunt ornare massa eget egestas purus.
Sed elementum tempus egestas sed.
Purus in mollis nunc sed id semper.
Cras sed felis eget velit aliquet sagittis id
consectetur.

The text isn't consistently formatted in any other way other than the
leading indent, if any, which is a tab (although I have changed it to
space here because gmail).

What I would like to be able to do is one of two things:

A) Ideally:

Select whole document and run "some command(s)" which will:

1. Leave any lines which are "flush left" on the left margin where they are
2. Leave the first indented line indented one tab
3. For each additional line, indent by one additional tab
4. Each "paragraph" or "block" will have a blank line between each
one, and a new paragraph will always start with the line that is not
indented at all.


B) If ideally isn't possible

Select a PORTION of text (some number of lines, at least 4 lines), and
run "some command(s)" which will increase the indent by one tab for
each line of the selected portion of text

For example, if there are 2 lines, I wouldn't bother selecting that
and running the command, because nothing needs to be done

If there are exactly 3 lines, I'll just manually indent the 3rd line.

If there are more than 3 lines, then I would select "line 3 and all
following lines" up to (but not including) the blank line, and each
line should be indented progressively more and more.

I hope what I am trying to describe is clear. Even more, I hope it is
possible, but if it is, I have no idea how.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks!

WriteChangesWhenSentToBackground

[TJ Luoma]

I just wanted to make sure that no one else had missed what I think is one
of the most useful¹ new features in BBEdit

(¹ by which I mean a feature that has the potential to be used most often
by the most number of people)

Quoting https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-13.1.html:

If you want text documents with unsaved changes to automatically save when
switching BBEdit to the background, you can now do this with an expert
preference:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit WriteChangesWhenSentToBackground -bool
YES

There are some more details in the release notes, which are worth reading
if you are curious about this feature, but I've found this to be super
useful and super fast, not to mention that it's one of these features that
I wish every app would offer, because saving is the best way to avoid
losing work if something bad happens.


For the past few years I've done something very similar using Keyboard
Maestro and AppleScript, but obviously something built-in is better for
several reasons, and I'll keep using it for a few Macs I have that are
running versions of macOS which are too old for BBEdit v13:

-- With thanks to Christopher Stone and Rich Siegel
-- Source: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/bbedit/dfT5wJY5wSI/discussion

if application "BBEdit" is running then
 try
  tell application "BBEdit"
   set docList to (text documents whose on disk is true and
modified is true)
   repeat with theDoc in docList
save theDoc
   end repeat
  end tell
 end try
end if

-- end of AppleScript


Anyway, I only happened to see this because I'm a nerd about reading
Release Notes, but even I have missed things in the Release Notes in the
past, so I figured it might be worth highlighting this.

1. That is obviously the smartest way to do it, and so I should have
assumed that would be the way that BBEdit would do it.

2. For those new to zsh, make sure that your $PATH is set in ~/.zshenv

3. FWIW, I have used this at the top of my scripts for a long time:

if [[ -e "$HOME/.path" ]]
then
 source "$HOME/.path"
else
 PATH=/usr/local/scripts:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
fi

That way I can define a PATH in a file un-creatively named ~/.path and have
it automatically apply to all of my scripts (which makes it easy to
update/change), but if (for some reason) that file is not there, it will
use my most commonly desired PATH.

The $PATH in BBEdit

[TJ Luoma]

Quoting the "BBEdit 13.1 Release Notes" from
https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-13.1.html

> BBEdit has built-in support for cmark as well as "classic" Markdown
(Gruber's original Markdown.pl script). In addition, if you have Discount,
MultiMarkdown, cmark-gfm, or Pandoc installed, BBEdit can use those as

the menu is disabled.

1. Where is BBEdit getting its $PATH definition from?

2. Can it be edited?

The reason that I ask is that for the past several years, macOS has had no
good way to define the $PATH for GUI applications, and most do not even
include /usr/local/bin/.

Since BBEdit can put a tool into /usr/local/bin/ then I assume it also
includes /usr/local/bin/ in its $PATH but I also put scripts that I have
written into /usr/local/scripts/ however there is no easy way to tell most
GUI apps of that path except using a fully qualified path, so I'm wondering
what I should do in BBEdit's case.

Obviously this would be easily fixable if Apple would create a way to
define a $PATH for GUI apps, but since it took away the previous one and
hasn't come up with an alternative for many years, I'm not holding my
breath.

Can I make the tab stops more noticeable?

[TJ Luoma]

In my daily quest to get older and have my vision get gradually worse,
I've noticed that it's getting harder to notice the "Tab Stops" in
BBEdit documents

This is the setting that I am referring to:

https://i.luo.ma/ss/bbedit-preferences-appearance-tab-stops-2020-05-13.png

I don't always have it on, but when I do, it's pretty faint.

Is that something that can be customized somehow?

Thanks

Re: Shortcut to preview in a specific browser?

[TJ Luoma]

I don't know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a browser
directly, but that's OK because the preview menu items include the
version number, which change frequently.

But you can create a script to do it, and script can have a keyboard
shortcut, and the script will keep working even when the version
number changes.

#!/bin/zsh -f

/usr/bin/open -a "Marked 2" "$BB_DOC_PATH"

exit 0

Note if you use Marked via 'Setapp' it is referred to as 'Marked' not 'Marked 2'

If you want to use a different app / browser, change 'Marked 2' to the
name of the app / browser.

I don’t know if BBEdit has such a mode, but there’s always `grep`
which will just show matching lines.

 fgrep -i error input.log

You could used that on the command line or as a text filter in BBEdit,
I suppose.

Well, at the risk of getting banned from the list ;-)
I’m going to offer another non-BBEdit solution.

I don't have a UTF-16 file handy to test, but it should work something
like this:

 iconv --from-code=UTF-16 --to-code=UTF-16LE input.log > input-16LE.log

That will save the log to a new file which can be opened in BBEdit or elsewhere.

(There’s also the `-c` option, which means “When this option is given,
characters that cannot be converted are silently discarded, instead of
leading to a conversion error.”)

If you want to combine those two commands, you could try this:

 iconv --from-code=UTF-16 --to-code=UTF-16LE input.log | fgrep -i error

That convert the file and pipe the resulting text to `fgrep` which
will then filter out everything except the lines which contain the
word 'error'

Can I _find_ "gremlins" instead of "zap"ping them?

[TJ Luoma]

I often use "zap gremlins" (one of my favorite features of BBEdit) but
sometimes I'd rather _locate_ them instead of zapping them so I can
manually change them.

Is that possible? If so, how?

Updated BBEdit Installation script for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to macOS 10.15 (Catalina)

[TJ Luoma]

If you need to install/update BBEdit on a variety of Macs running a
variety of versions of macOS, you might like

https://github.com/tjluoma/di/blob/master/di-bbedit.sh

I've recently re-written the script to be a lot more efficient. It
supports BBEdit version 13, but also will automatically install the
proper version of BBEdit for any version of Mac OS X going back to
10.6.8.

When downloading the latest version of BBEdit 13, it will also
download the latest release notes too, so you can keep on-top of
what's new in the world of BBEdit.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me off-list.
I'm happy to help if I can.

Re: Remove license to downgrade to free version

[TJ Luoma]

I logged in as a different user on my Mac and BBEdit presented itself
as "unregistered" so your best bet is probably to create a new
_administrator_ account, then log in as that user and delete your user
account (which I would recommend anyway).

That should take are of "downgrading" most applications — except Mac
App Store apps, which you should probably just delete. You can find
them by running this command in Terminal:

find /Applications -iname _MASReceipt -type d -maxdepth 3 -print \
| sed 's#/Contents/_MASReceipt##g' \
| sort -i \
| bbedit --scratchpad

(see how I made that BBEdit-related at the end there? ;-)

Automatically switch between color schemes?

[TJ Luoma]

I just upgrade to Mojave, and I'm still not sure that I like it, but I
definitely don't like having BBEdit show up light when dark mode is
on, and vice versa.

I'm _not_ talking about the "Match application appearance to selected
editor color scheme" setting.

I'd like to be able to have BBEdit use "BBEdit Classic" when the
system is set to light mode, and "BBEdit Dark" when the system is in
dark mode.

I tried googling and didn't find anything, but I'm absolutely sure
that someone out there has figured this out.

So… what's the trick?

TIA

Try this in Terminal:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user


Source:
http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2013/02/getting-rid-of-open-with-duplicates/

Was a big problem a few years ago. I’m assuming the old command still
works, which might be a bad assumption.

ISTR that you might get notifications after this suggesting that you are
opening apps for the first time. Unavoidable side effect of rebuilding the
“open with” database, I’m afraid. Unless that has changed, hopefully.

Re: How to make BBEdit save changes automatically when closing window?

[TJ Luoma]

Do you close windows by pressing ⌘W or by clicking on the title bar button?

If the former, there's probably a way to re-map ⌘W to save-then-close…
if not, you could surely do so with Keyboard Maestro.

If by clicking … I don't think there's a way to avoid the dialog, but
I might be wrong.

Re: Dark Mode?

[TJ Luoma]

I like "BBEdit Light" a little more than "Classic BBEdit" but I like
them both a lot more than a dark theme.

(I ran the Mojave betas for quite awhile but never took to the dark
theme myself. I also went back to High Sierra because I like my
automation apps and Mojave is the closest thing I've seen to Windows
Vista since Windows Vista.)

Re: AppleScript to Save, but only if file has been saved before (aka is not “untitled text”?

[TJ Luoma]

That seems to work perfectly! Thank you!

Because the macro can run after BBEdit has _quit_ (KM can't always tell the
difference, and although I could make a check for "if BBEdit is running" in
Keyboard Maestro, I'd rather do it in AppleScript), I modified it to be
this:

*if* *application* "BBEdit" *is* running *then*

*try*

*tell* *application* "BBEdit"

*set* docList *to* (*documents* *whose* on disk *is* *true* *and* modified
*is* *true*)

*repeat* *with* theDoc *in* docList

*save* theDoc

*end* *repeat*

*end* *tell*

*end* *try*

*end* *if*


I'm not sure why the 'try / end try' was there in my original Keyboard
Maestro macros, but it doesn't seem to hurt, so I've left it here too.


Many thanks!

Tj

AppleScript to Save, but only if file has been saved before (aka is not “untitled text”?

[TJ Luoma]

For a long time I have used this AppleScript that I use with Keyboard
Maestro to automatically save the front-most document:

if application "BBEdit" is running then
try
   tell application "BBEdit"
  tell document 1
save
  end tell
   end tell
end try
end if

(I use this with Keyboard Maestro so that when BBEdit “deactivates”, the
file will be saved. I have since learned that BBEdit has a feature to do
this itself, but I've been using Keyboard Maestro for a long time, so I
figured I'd stick with it.)

The problems with this are two-fold:

1. If the file has not been saved before, BBEdit will (understandably)
bounce in the dock to tell me to name the file which it is trying to save.
I would rather not bother trying to save as-yet-unsaved documents when
BBEdit deactivates.

2. Perhaps more significantly, this AppleScript only saves the front
document, and I'd really much prefer that it do an “Save All”… but, again,
only for files which can be saved without user-intervention.

Despite all my best efforts, I still don't understand AppleScript very well
(and my efforts at Googling have not been productive), but I assume there’s
a way to accomplish #1, but I can’t figure it out. There must be some way
to tell BBEdit to save if the window title doesn’t start with “untitled
text” or something like that.

I assume that #2 is so complicated as to be un-attainable, but I figured
I’d ask, and hope that maybe someone who is great at AppleScript might have
a chance to prove me wrong ;-)

Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer.

AppleScript to set the current file to: language = 'Unix Shell Script' ?

[TJ Luoma]

Hello Friends

Two questions:

1. How can I tell BBEdit “If you open a file with no file extension, assume
it is a 'Unix Shell Script' file?

2. Is there a way (presumably via AppleScript?) to tell BBEdit “Hey, this
document that you are currently showing, set its language to 'Unix Shell
Script'"?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

Shell script to make BBEdit the default text editor for 'open -t' and LaunchServices

[TJ Luoma]

I was looking for a way to make BBEdit the default text editor for _all_ 
text files. 

More specifically, I wanted to be able to use 'open -t' and have the file 
open in BBEdit.

Just to refresh your memory, quoting from `man open`:

 -t  Causes the file to be opened with the default text editor, as 
determined via LaunchServices

I went searching on the web for this, but 99% of what I saw came down to 
"Select the file in Finder, choose 'Get Info' and tell it to 'Change All' 
of those file extension types to open with BBEdit!' Of course that wasn't 
helpful because I already knew that, but what about files with _no_ 
extension? And what about 'open -t'? 

Finally I came across a StackOverflow answer 
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9370584/set-textmate-as-the-default-text-editor-on-mac-os-x)
 
which gave me enough of an answer that I was able to adapt it for BBEdit.

In case anyone else is curious, here is the command that I used:

defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices/com.apple.launchservices.secure 
LSHandlers -array-add \
'{LSHandlerContentType=public.plain-text;LSHandlerRoleAll=com.barebones.bbedit;}'


After that, I used `open -t ~/.ssh/authorized_keys` and the file opened in 
BBEdit. I didn't even have to logout/login or reboot, as some had suggested.

(This was in the public beta 3 of Mojave, FWIW.)

I hope this might be of use to someone else… or possibly me, in the future, 
when I search the web for the answer to this question and find my own 
answer to it ;-)

Need help with AppleScript to rename active document

[TJ Luoma]

I was searching for a way to rename the current BBEdit document today when 
I ran across a 14-year-old AppleScript from John Gruber: 


Here's the script for the then-current BBEdit-8

tell application "BBEdit"
activate
set old_name to name of text window 1
set dialog_result to display dialog ¬
"Rename active document:" default answer (old_name) ¬
buttons {"Cancel", "Rename"} default button 2 ¬
with icon note
if button returned of dialog_result = "Rename" then
set new_name to text returned of dialog_result
set d to active document of text window 1
if (d's on disk) then
set the_file to d's file
tell application "Finder"
set name of the_file to new_name
end tell
else -- it's a document that has never been saved
set name of d to new_name
end if
end if
end tell

This _almost_ works for me, but I can't figure out what's wrong, and I 
don't know enough about AppleScript to fix it.

When I tried it, I was prompted with the current filename (but without the 
file's extension, not that I really cared about the file extension in this 
case, but it seems like it should be included in case I _did_ want to 
change it).

However, when I tried to rename the file, I received this error:

Finder got an error: Can’t set name of file 
"SSD:Users:luomat:Dropbox:scripts:pdf-remove-ATLA-last-page.sh" to 
"atla-remove-last-pdf-page.sh".

If I had to guess, I'd say that I need to tell the Finder to use the full 
path (aka 'dirname' in Unix parlance) of 'the_file' for 'new_name'.

But I'm not sure how to do that (neither am I 100% sure that is the 
problem, I'm just guessing from the error message).

Anyone already have this solved, or able to suggest a solution?

Bonus points if you can change the extension too, but if I can rename the 
current file with the current file extension I will still be better off 
than I am right now!

Thanks!

TjL

Re: html2txt.py as a text filter

[TJ Luoma]

If I want to _replace_ the contents of the current file, NOT create a
separate document, I thought this would be what I needed to do as a Text
Filter

/Users/luomat/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/html2text

is

/#!/bin/zsh -f
#
#
# From: Timothy J. Luoma
# Mail: luomat at gmail dot com
# Date: Mon, Apr 18, 2016 12:23

if [ -e "$HOME/.path" ]
then
source "$HOME/.path"
else
PATH=/usr/local/scripts:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin
fi

/usr/local/bin/html2text "$BB_DOC_PATH"



exit 0
#
#EOF


But it does nothing.

Re: BBEdit's settings/preferences on Dropbox / iCloud

[TJ Luoma]

Dropbox, for the simple reason that you have a web-based interface that
you can use to retrieve any files which were deleted _and_ previous
versions of files going back 30 days.

I know that iCloud now has some mechanism for retrieving deleted files via
icloud.com but Dropbox's is much more feature-rich and intuitive to me.

I also prefer the fact that it is much easier to see when Dropbox is
working to sync files via the menu bar icon, rather than iCloud, which
continues to try to hide everything behind a shroud of “Trust us, it just
works!”

TjL

p.s. - also note that the “Keep Historical Backups” feature in BBEdit can
use the sync folder as well.

p.p.s. - [Off-Topic]  if you want to sync _other_ files or folders but
don't want to use Dropbox/iCloud or can't (due to space limitations),
checkout BitTorrent Sync. It will allow you to sync _any_ folder, without
having to move it. So you could sync your ~/Documents or ~/Movies/ or
~/Pictures/ folders, for example. The only thing to be careful of is apps
that store database files (i..e Photos, iTunes) which may not sync well. I
get around that by moving them out of the default folders (for example my
iTunes library goes in ~/iTunes not ~/Music/). See
http://forum.bittorrent.com and http://www.getsync.com for more, or feel
free to contact me off-list.

It is not… (unless you mean iCloud, but that seems far outside the scope of
your question)

However, if you are just looking to reduce visual clutter, you could also
tell the Finder not to __show__ the folder in Dropbox

SetFile -a V "$HOME/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit"

This will tell the Finder not to show the file (SetFile -a V = "set
visiiblity to no") but will allow BBEdit to know that it is there.

If you need to access that folder for some reason, you can always use the
Finder’s “Go » Go To Folder” menu and put in "~/Dropbox/Application Support"

I use this a lot for folders I can't move but don't need to see and/or
access often.

For the sake of completeness I should have added that if you ever want to
_undo_ that action, the command is

SetFile -a v "$HOME/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit"

The two commands differ only in the _case_ of the 'v/V':

SetFile -a v = show

SetFile -a V = hide

Am I correct in saying that once I start using a pre-release version of

this email list ?

The “Check for Updates” does not seem to fine newer versions of
“beta” BBEdit builds.

I know it shouldn't be, but I've gotten bitten by that in the past with 
some apps (Hazel and Keyboard Maestro) which don't always seem to get the 
$PATH I want, so I just got in the habit of declaring it. Actually I use 
this:

if [ -e "$HOME/.path" ]
then
source "$HOME/.path"

Whenever I used that, the trailing spaces were removed, but the document

Well…that would be why it didn't work. (I'll refer back to my previous

Re: Two side-by-side documents in full-screen mode?

Tile Across doesn't fill the screen. It leaves room for the Dock, even if 
the Dock is hidden. And it doesn't use OS X’s full-screen mode (yes, I know

It appears the answer to my question is 'no' - at least for now.

Re: Need help with AppleScript that converts a selected string of words to "Title Case"

I have noticed this with most “titlecase” programs that I have

apply the titlecase, which seems to work more reliably.


YMMV.

using "\\u\\0" options {search mode:grep} searching in selection
 end if
end tell
end tell

The find pattern is kind of a bear, but it breaks down to selecting 
the
first letter of a word which is not equal to one of the items in your 
list.
You can use this directly in BBEdit and then it's double escaped in 
the
AppleScript above. For example, it selects an "a" which starts a word 
and
is not followed by "n", "nd", "s", or "t", a "b" which starts a word 
and is

not followed by "ut" or "y", etc.

\b(a)(?!(nd?|s|t)?\b)|\b(b)(?!(ut|y)?\b)|\b(f)(?!(or|rom)?\b)|\b(i)\b|\b(i)(?!(n|nto|t)?\b)|\b(n)(?!(or)?\b)|\b(o)(?!(f|n|nto|r)?\b)|\b(s)(?!(o)?\b)|\b(t)(?!(he|o)?\b)|\b(w)(?!(ith)?\b)|\b([^abfinostw])(?!\b)


The replacement pattern is \u\0 which changes the found character to
uppercase.

The regex pattern I adapted can be found here, but it uses a 
different

engine than BBEdit and didn't code quite the same list of words.

Replacing QuickCursor with BBEdit and Keyboard Maestro

[TJ Luoma]

Replacing QuickCursor with Keyboard Maestro
http://www.macstories.net/mac/replacing-quickcursor-with-keyboard-maestro/

This is an update to an article that I wrote about two years ago, and I 
thought it might be of interest to some folks on the list.


Aside: for reasons I do not understand, when I use the `--resume` option 
to the `bbedit` tool from inside a Keyboard Maestro macro, it does not 
seem to work, although it used to. However, when I call `bbedit` 
directly from the shell, it works fine. I have no idea how to debug 
this, so I just added the “resume” functionality inside the Keyboard 
Maestro macro.

Re: Auto save when losing focus

[TJ Luoma]

I do this in Keyboard Maestro, which runs this AppleScript whenever
BBEdit loses focus

if application BBEdit is running then

try

tell application BBEdit

tell document 1

save

end tell

end tell

end try

end if



This will save the front-most document.


I'm sure there's a way to tell it to save all documents, but I'm not
sure what that is off the top of my head.

This seems like a job better suited to Hazel (or launchd) and some

Text Filter for BBEdit 11 to reformat (pretty print) XML using `tidy`

[TJ Luoma]

I have made a Text Filter for BBEdit which uses `tidy` to reformat XML.

It does not attempt to do anything other than clean it up.

You can find it at:

https://github.com/tjluoma/text-filters/raw/master/Tidy-XML.sh

It should also be easy to change any `tidy` argument that you wish to
use differently.

I am by no means a `tidy` expert, I have just found that these
settings work for me. I would welcome suggestions for possible
improvements.

(See https://github.com/tjluoma/text-filters if you need help figuring
out how to install Text Filters for BBEdit)

Re: Go Here in Terminal

[TJ Luoma]

1) The easiest way to get the Bundle ID is to use Terminal:

 defaults read /Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/Info
CFBundleIdentifier

You can use this for any app, just replace /Applications/iTerm.app
with the path to the app itself, the /Contents/Info part stays the
same in 99% of the cases.

(Technically you only need the  marks if there is a space in the
path, but it won't hurt to use it either way.)


2) If you are using iTerm2, the Bundle ID is

   com.googlecode.iterm2

Re: Is there any way to integrate BBEdit with Xcode ???

[TJ Luoma]

You can use BBEdit anywhere you can edit text on the Mac.

QuickCursor is dead, but you can replicate it with Keyboard Maestro

http://i.tuaw.com/2013/08/30/replicating-quickcursor-using-bbedit-and-keyboard-maestro/

in fact, BBEdit users will have the best success with this, since the
command line `bbedit` tool (which is what I use with Keyboard Maestro)
has this feature:

   --resume (no short variant)
Used in combination with -w or --wait, this switch will cause the 
 application which was frontmost when the bbedit tool was invoked to be made 
 frontmost again once you close the file(s) specified on the command line.


Feel free to get in touch if you need help getting started with this.

Re: Want to paste multiple lines to a single line - Is it possible?

[TJ Luoma]

Your question is not very clear to me.

First you say paste them into line 20 and then you say each one
should be its own file. I do not know what would be in lines 1-19.

If what you mean is that you want to take ~/Desktop/RWWEB/page10\
Kaf/index.html and make each line into its own document, yes, you can
do that very easily.

I created a shell script which can do this. You can find it at

https://gist.github.com/tjluoma/7892036

The two most important lines to change are these:

  FILE=$HOME/Desktop/RWWEB/page10 Kaf/index.html

  STARTER_FILE=$HOME/Desktop/RWWEB-Header-File.html

FILE should be the path to the file that has all of the lines that you
want to put into separate files

_IF_ there is a standard file which should be used to start each file
(i.e. lines 1-19) then it must exist at STARTER_FILE


TO USE:

* Download the gist and place it somewhere easy to find like your Desktop

* Rename it to something like eachlinetofile.sh

* Open Terminal.app and change to the directory where you saved the file:

  cd ~/Desktop/

(obviously change ~/Desktop to wherever you saved the file)

* Make  eachlinetofile.sh executable by issuing this command:

 chmod 755 eachlinetofile.sh

* Execute the file in Terminal:

 ./eachlinetofile.sh

I hope that helps, but be sure that you understand what it is doing
before you run it. No guarantee expressed or implied. U se entirely at
your own risk.

ps - I realize that the answer itself isn't specifically
BBEdit-related, but I wrote this script in BBEdit, so I figure that
counts :-)

bbwait

[TJ Luoma]

`bbwait` is a shell script I wrote to use `bbedit` as your EDITOR and 
VISUAL editor. It is available here:

https://github.com/tjluoma/bbwait

I would be interested in any comments or feedback from folks in this group. 
(Did I explain how it works OK? Did I miss anything? Anything that I 
should have added/removed/etc?)

`bbwait` is especially designed with `visudo` in mind, because I wanted to 
have the security of the syntax checking of `visudo` without actually using 
`vi` because this is 2013 not 1983 and no one should be using `vi` unless 
they lost a bet.

But I digress. Mostly because I hate `vi`.

I even explain how to set this up to that you can use your preferred editor 
when logged in via SSH but use `bbwait` in other situations.

Thanks!

There have been plenty of good suggestions made already, but I'll add 
one specific to BBEdit:


1. Download and install this to BBEdit's Text Filters folder:

https://github.com/tjluoma/bbedit/blob/master/Text-Filters/HTML-to-Plain-Text.sh

2. Install lynx (if it isn't already)

http://code.google.com/p/rudix/wiki/lynx

And then you can use BBEdit's Text Filter feature to convert any HTML 
document to plain text.


The advantage of using `lynx` instead of trying to create your own 
solution is that it has been designed to deal with all sorts of 'edge 
cases' of weird and/or badly written HTML.

little more control. Plus, pandoc will also convert markdown to rtf, 
which

I occasionally need.)


Here's a very simple example which uses multimarkdown to convert the 
current file to HTML


#!/bin/zsh -f

INPUT_FILE=$BB_DOC_PATH

OUTPUT_FILE=$INPUT_FILE:r.html

	multimarkdown --extensions --smart --process-html --to=html 
--output=$OUTPUT_FILENAME $INPUT_FILE


exit

save that as MMD to HTML.sh and put it in the /Application 
Support/BBEdit/Scripts/ folder and it will appear in your Scripts menu.


There's a much more complicated version of this (it does a lot of error 
checking, as well as letting you specify what app should open the file 
that you create) available as MMD to HTML.zsh at


https://github.com/tjluoma/bbedit

but the above version is a (*ahem*) bare bones example of how you can do 
it. Search the user manual for BB_DOC_PATH for more.

It would be helpful to know if you are trying to remove all of the HTML 
markup or you are trying to get a plain-text rendering of the HTML file.


For the latter, the only recommendation that I would give would be to 
create a Text Filter or Script which would send the file through `lynx` 
which is going to do much better at parsing HTML and outputting plain 
text than any home-made solution.

I should point out that I only recommend using full paths when testing

In general I don't use full paths. That would be hugely annoying and
of little practical value IMO. (Not to mention causing the script to
break if it's moved to a Linux/FreeBSD box where the same utilities
are found but not in the same location… although in practice I don't
actually use many of my scripts on other OSes.)

* One of the first things I do when setting up a new Mac is define the
$PATH that I want and save it to ~/.path

* My ~/.zshenv checks for ~/.path and imports it, if found, and generates it

* I put my shell scripts into ~/Dropbox/bin/ and add that to my $PATH
so they will always be available to whichever Mac I am using.

* If I am writing a shell script which uses a program which is not
part of a standard OS X installation (for example, lynx or wget), I
will (usually / when I remember) put this near the top of my script
right after the #!/bin/zsh

# This is a zsh-specific way of saying 'is there a program called
'FOO' in my $PATH??. You could do this same with `which` but this is
cleaner
if ((! $+commands[FOO] ))
then

# if FOO is _not_ in $PATH then this part of the if/then will 
be executed   
# note: if FOO is a FUNCTION or ALIAS, it will come back not 
found,
so make sure we are only
# testing for things that will show up in $PATH

echo $0: FOO is required but not found in $PATH
exit 1

* I have a TextExpander snippet called `rqr` (for 'require` obviously
:-) which will automatically insert that little block of code,
prompting me to insert whatever command I want to require:

Here is the TextExpander snippet:

if ((! $+commands[%fill:command%] ))

listmeis...@suddenlink.net wrote:

Is there any special reason you're using the full path to the commands?



Yes: when the environment is unknown, it's possible that the $PATH has not
been set, or is not the same as what you expect it to be, so it's not a bad
idea to use full paths. Assuming that the $PATH is set the way that you
expect it to be set is a good way to end up wondering why something works
perfectly in Terminal but doesn't work in another setting.

(Warning: Long-winded additional comments below. :-)

In 98.352% of the cases, that won't be a problem, but it *can be*
especially if you have modified your PATH in your $SHELL. Even
/usr/local/bin/ isn't in the default $PATH on OS X.

Compounding this problem is that the method for setting the $PATH for GUI
apps has recently changed

Until fairly recently it was suggested that you add the path to
~/.MacOSX/environmental.plist or something like that, but IIRC that stopped
working recently (10.8 or 10.7, I think).

If you google for an answer, you're going to find most people saying that
you should use ~/.MacOSX/environmental.plist … Although some will
suggest /etc/paths.d/ or /etc/paths.

FWIW in 10.8 it appears that the most reliable way of setting the PATH for
GUI programs is to add it to /etc/launchd.conf

For example, in mine, I have added:

setenv PATH /Users/luomat/Dropbox/Apps/site44/bin.luo.ma:
/Users/luomat/Dropbox/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

That setting may only get read from an app on login, so if you change it
you might have to restart the app and/or logout/login to get it to be seen
by all apps again.

(I'm not sure what the best way to set the global $PATH is if you don't
have access to /etc/launchd.conf … fortunately that's not something I've
had to worry about. I'm also not sure if you can rely on $HOME working
properly in /etc/launchd.conf either, which is why I haven't used it in my
example. )

Re: Sort and disply duplicate lines wtih number in front

Oh goodness, don't pay anyone to write simple shell scripts for you when
the Internet is chock full of nerds who will do that for free ;-)

Here's the script you need for a Text Filter in BBEdit:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sort --numeric-sort $@ |\
/usr/bin/uniq -c |\
/usr/bin/sort --numeric-sort

exit 0
#EOF

(What That Script Does: line 1 will sort the contents of the file, line 2
will combine duplicate lines and prefix it with a count of how many lines
matched that line, and line 3 will sort that again so that the lines which
have the most duplicates will be at the bottom of the list.)


To use this:

* Copy the above into a new BBEdit document and make sure that the
#!/bin/sh line is the first line in the file

* Save it to ~/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/

(or ~/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/ if you sync via
Dropbox)

* name it something like Linesort With Totals.sh

* find it under the Text Filters menu:

http://images.luo.ma/bbedit/linesort/linesort-as-text-filter.jpg


NOTE:

TextFilters will REPLACE the content of your file.

If you want to leave the contents of the file alone and have the output
of Linesort With Totals.sh to appear in another BBEdit file, you should
use it as a BBEdit _Script_ which means:

Use this script instead:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sort --numeric-sort $BB_DOC_PATH |\
/usr/bin/uniq -c |\
/usr/bin/sort --numeric-sort

exit 0
#EOF

* put it into ~/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/
(or ~/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/

* find it under the 'scripts' menu:

http://images.luo.ma/bbedit/linesort/linesort-as-script.jpg

BTW I have created a script which can be used as _either_ a Text Filter
_or_ a BBEdit Script. You can find it here:

http://images.luo.ma/bbedit/linesort/Linesort%20With%20Totals.sh

(to download it, go to http://images.luo.ma/bbedit/linesort/ and then
control+click on the .sh file)

No guarantees, use at your own risk, if it breaks you get to keep both
parts, but it worked for me.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Jim was probably looking for a solution he

I used BBEdit for years before I realized how easy it was to run scripts on
BBEdit documents, and if you've never done it, it can seem pretty
intimidating.

I'm going to re-post my previous suggestion because it: will work for
all of these cases, boils down to one line, is extremely easy to
understand, and involves no complicated regex knowledge.

Create a BBEdit Text Filter which does this:

cat $@ | lynx -dump -listonly -nonumbers -stdin -width 1024

That's it. (Assuming lynx is installed, if it's not, it's easy to get.)

Translation:

cat $@ = Take the standard input

send (pipe) it to lynx

-dump = dump whatever lynx processed to stdout
-listonly = create a list of links as output
-nonumbers = don't number links in the output (1…2…3…)
-stdin = tell lynx to look for stdin
-width 1024 = how wide you want the output to be

`lynx` is designed to parse HTML in all sorts of weird forms, and it
will handle cases where there are relative links with or without a
BASE.

I realize that there are always more than one way to do something, but
rather than try to reinvent HTML parsers, I'd rather use a program
which has been developed for years to do what you're trying to do.

`lynx` may not be part of the standard OS X install, but it's easy to
get. If you use Homebrew, it's just `brew install lynx` otherwise go
to Rudix and get the installer.

You can download the full version of this Text Filter which I use (and
which includes some additional error checking) here:

I don't think Automator or AppleScript is the way to do this.

You just need a shell script.

See page 34 and pages 314-319 in the User Manual (see the Help menu)

I think that you can probably accomplish this by something as simple as:

Use single quotes instead of double quotes

mv   'This is a File!'   '20130301 - This is a File!'

that prevents the shell from grabbing the '!'

However, if your filenames have ' in them, then you might run into problems.

Re: Copying HTML of preview window

Any chance you are thinking of a time when you previewed a BBEdit document
in Marked.app?

That app does have a copy from preview feature.

Apologies if this isn't it. Just thought it was worth a shot.

 Apologies for the newbie question; I'm just discovering the power of BBEdit.
 
 I'd like to change all instances of a character in a selection without

 I hope to select/highlight this: These_Underscores_Should_Be_Spaces
 
 Hit a keyboard shortcut and have this: These Underscores Should Be Spaces
 
 Thanks in advance for any suggestions; I don't even know where to start.
 

If you made a text filter using sed it would be as simple as:

 sed 's#_# #g'

I'm on my iPad at the moment so I can't check out exactly how it's done but I 
think it would be something like 

 #!/bin/sh

 cat $@ | sed 's#_# #g'


Or perhaps the cat should be an echo. Anyway you get the idea hopefully.

I reversed the keyboard shortcuts for 'Save' and 'Save All', and now
Save All appears all of the time.

Note: I _want_ ⌘ + S to be Save All -- you might not want that.

You can do this either in BBEdit's preferences or System Preferences,

Put this in your ~/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/ as open in

Then use that to open the file in Marked.

If you aren't afraid of the command line, try this:

In a nutshell, you instruct pytograph that there are directory structures

monitors the directories on your local machine for changes, then makes
identical changes on the remote machine in real time via SFTP. So, if you
add/update/delete a file locally, that same file will be automatically
added/updated/deleted on the remote machine. If you delete a directory
locally, that same directory will be deleted from the remote machine.

I should mention that I found this via http://onethingwell.org/ which is a
good site to follow for these sort of I didn't know that existed but now I
want to use it sort of utilities. Not exclusively Mac stuff but definitely
the majority.

Hazel 3 has a 'sync' option. It only works on folders mounted on that
Mac, but if you mounted the server as a 'local' folder, I think it
would work.

(I'm using it to sync my Byword iCloud folder to Dropbox.)

Assuming that :

1. all of the filenames are exactly the same except that _orig.jpg
changes to _prev.jpg
2. the file 'original.txt' has one filename per line

then you can use a small shell script to do this:

#!/bin/sh

while read line
do

PREV=`echo $line | sed 's#_orig.jpg#_prev.jpg#g'`

echo a href=\$line\img src=\$PREV\/a

done  original.txt

I put this script up at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18414/tmp/bbedit3282012.sh if you want to
download it.

Save it to the same directory as 'original.txt'. Assuming they are
both on ~/Desktop/ then you would open Terminal.app and do

cd ~/Desktop/

chmod 755 ./bbedit3282012.sh

./bbedit3282012.sh

or, if you want to save the output of `bbedit3282012.sh`, then do

./bbedit3282012.sh  out.html

and then the file out.html will have the HTML that you need.

TjL

ps - I really can't help but mention that you should include WIDTH and
HEIGHT on the IMG tags. Otherwise the page is going to jump all over
the place as those 1,000 images load!! I assume you just left them off
your example to reduce visual clutter.

Re: BBEdit 10.1.1: Markdown previews in BBEdit, but not in browsers

 As I was going through Take Control of BBEdit, I ran across the Try

 Hey John,

 I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong. BBEdit's Preview in BBEdit command 
 understands Markdown, and renders it correctly. On the other hand, when you 
 Preview in … to send the document to another browser, the raw document is 
 sent to the browser. If you View Source in whichever browser you're using, 
 you'll see it's just the Markdown document. Browsers don't understand 
 Markdown, so they render the document as text. If you want to see what the 
 Markdown document looks like when rendered as HTML, you'll need to translate 
 it first (running the Markdown document through markdown.pl, for example) and 
 view the resulting html file in your browser.


FWIW, I use [Marked][] when previewing Markdown

I make an open in Marked script for BBEdit

#!/bin/sh

if [ $BB_DOC_PATH !=  ]
then
open -a Marked $BB_DOC_PATH
fi

And assigned a keyboard shortcut for it.

Works great.

Marked is $4 on the Mac App Store.

(Disclaimer: the developer of Marked is a friend/colleague, but I
don't get anything out of referring people to it, and although I was a
beta tester for it, I bought my own copy. After all, it's only $4.)

Regex help - convert ALL CAPS to Caps if WORD is only WORD on line

[TJ Luoma]

Hi, my name is TJ and I'm terrible at regular expressions :-)

Here's what I want to do:

Match: Any line which is one word long (where 'word' is defined as
ASCII letters, only) and that word is ALL CAPS

Do:
* Change word from UPPERCASE to Capitalized
* Put a colon after WORD
* Wrap that word (and colon) in ** **
* Change EOL to a space.

So, for example

FOO
bah ablah alasfas

would become

**Foo:** bah ablah alasfas

Possible?

Tips and Tricks?

[TJ Luoma]

Hey folks

I've been using BBEdit for years but don't think I'm doing everything
I can with it.

I'm trying to learn more of what BBEdit can do, and I was wondering if
some of you might be willing to help.

If you were trying to impress someone who was new to the Mac with what
BBEdit can do and why you use it as your text editor, can you give me
some examples of the features you'd show off?

Here are 3 examples from my own usage:

* One of the reasons that I chose BBEdit was that I needed to be able
to connect to an (S)FTP server and edit files, and I wanted an editor
that could do that.

* One of the features that I really love is the Multiple File Search
where I can look for a certain search term in a wide range of files.
Today I used it to file all files which referenced a given folder
(which I had renamed).  So in Terminal, I used this:

 bbedit --new-window `fgrep -l OLDNAME *`

which opened all of the files which include OLDNAME in a new BBEdit
window. Then I used multi-file search to replace OLDNAME with NEWNAME,
and it even saved all of the files for me automatically so I didn't
have to save them all manually.

* One thing I didn't know about for a long time was that if you hold
down the Option key while looking at the File menu, some of the
options will change. (Which is why I didn't think BBEdit had a way to
Save All for a long time :-/

 Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

BBEdit not setting execute bit

[TJ Luoma]

The manual (pdf page 304) says

 Additionally, to execute scripts anywhere outside of BBEdit (e.g. in the 
 Terminal), the system requires that the script file have ‘execute’ 
 permissions set. Thus, when you first save any script file which contains a 
 shebang (#!) line, BBEdit will automatically set execute permissions for your 
 login account (a+x, as modified by the umask) on that file.


The problem is that doesn't seem to happen for me. #! scripts get
saved as the same as text files. (I'm not on a file vault.)

I created a file like this:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'hello world'

exit 0

and saved it as testtj.sh but then when I check the permissions:

% ls -l testtj.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 luomat 41 Jul 21 02:23 testtj.sh

(My umask is '022')
