Hello Tom, Thank you very much for that explanation. Yes, it is very helpful and will help me to write more complex patterns. Earlier this morning I was looking through the greg section of the BBEdit manual, trying to find what I was referring to as a “not operator”. I even checked online, but

Hello folks, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I have been very sick and had to go to bed. At any rate, I just bit the bullet and redid everything from scratch using backup copies of the original 1256 files. To provide more details, the link that I broke in each of those fi

Hello Jean-Christophe, Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it. Using that grep pattern found only ONE relative URL in almost 6,000 HTML docs. Considering how much I have used BBEdit’s multi-file find and replace feature to make global changes to my primary virtual host over the past few

Right... I finally got it. It's much more than I described, but it covers all of my needs, since sometimes I edit the same file today with Sublime, tomorrow with BBEdit. :) Here's the script: *tell* *application* "BBEdit" *set* w *to* *text window* 1 *set* the_file *to* *file* *of* active doc
