Ledger syntax coloring

I found a ledger language module at https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Editing-Ledger-files-with-TextWrangler and I installed it in the Bbedit language modules folder but it does not work, it is not recognised. Can anybody give me a hand in how to make this working? Thanks, Nico van

Use GREP to select all characters up to a character

This is the opposite question to one I asked previously. Given rows of data with the format below, *Jose Rondon\rondojo02* how can I configure GREP to select all the characters up to but not including the backslash? Howard -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group. If you have a

Re: GREP question

You can think of the pattern as a state machine. It scans forward in the input until the first match in the pattern. In this case the first match is the first "a" in the input so that's where the match starts. The rest of the pattern tells it how far to extend the match, through the next "b".

Re: GREP question

Sam, Why does the pattern .*?b only match aaab and not aab? Isn’t aab the shortest string possible? Howard On Dec 19, 2019, 1:17 PM -0500, bbedit@googlegroups.com, wrote: > > The pattern .*b will match aaabaab, while the pattern .*?b will match aaab. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public

Re: GREP question

Putting a `?` after a quantifier like `*` or `+` indicates that you want it to be _lazy_ instead of _greedy_. In short, this means that the quantifier will match the shortest string possible rather than the longest string possible. For example, take the text `aaabaaba`. The pattern `.*b` will

Re: GREP question

The question mark after the + makes it non-greedy so it won't match the character immediately following. However, in this case you're matching until the end of the line so I don't think it does anything. Compare these two patterns matched against the input. The ? after the + prevents the match

GREP question

I am new both to BBEdit and to GREP and have a question about this GREP code: \\.+?$ It is used in Search's Find box to remove all text from the backslash on, and is accompanied by no value in the Replace box. *Sample Input* Tyler Rogers\rogerty01 *Desired Output* Tyler Rogers I understand

Javascript Syntax Coloring

Is there a way I can "trick" BBEdit into using the PHP color palette for Javascript? I know I can change the code type manually at the bottom of the page, but I'd like to have BBEdit always use it's PHP coloring on what it thinks is javascript code. The PHP coloring is much more useful than
