Hey Folks,
This method is problematic in that it produc

That works on all lines. What about if you have blank lines in the document?
While it works fine on files that have continuous lines of text, the above
indents two spaces and places a period on blank lines.
Kind Regards,

Thanks Chris!
The updated script works great! :)
BTW, I tried to install GNU nl via Homebrew, but I was unable to locate it. In
the Terminal, neither “nl” or “gnunl” worked. Likewise, I visited Homebrew’s
formulae page on the web, and I couldn’t[’t locate it there either. I suspect

Hello Chris,
Ha! Yes, I in fact figured that out and installed coreutils just a bit ago.
Thanks for your time! :)

And, veering ever so slightly off topic, there is also findutils which gives

Ha! I took it a step further and installed coreutils, moreutils, findutils and
a number of others, via Homebrew and MacPorts.
Do you think I overdid it a bit?

Both? I would pick one (Homebrew) and stick with it. I gave up MacPorts because
it required a full install of Xcode
Actually, Homebrew is my default go-to choice for Terminal-based installations.
However, I figured that MacPorts probably needed an update — which it did — and
so then I decided to try to find something with it, which I couldn’t find with
Homebrew.
As it turned out, what I was looking for — nl

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten to install those critters.
In general they're pretty edge-case commands, but they have their uses.

Well, Chris, as I said in my previous comment, I mainly use Homebrew for all
Terminal installations. In fact, I hadn’t cracked open MacPorts in quite a
while, but I figured I should at least update it. And, as I said, I couldn’t
find “nl” with Homebrew, so I gave it a go with MacPorts. Same resu
