It might be easier to put your PHP code in a cell in the Excel spreadsheet. Define a new column with "" as its value and export it so your table contains that code from the outset. [fletcher] > On Dec 19, 2016, at 10:49 AM, Peter White wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > Sorry

Re: Coty text into multiple files

You can do a search/replace in multiple files if you can condense what you need to do into a regular expression. Look at Multi-File Search... on the Search menu. First make the search/replace work on one file. Then, switch to multi-file search and select the files you want to apply it to in the

Re: grep lower case upper case sequence manipulation

2016-11-23 Thread Fletcher Sandbeck

The pattern should work fine, but make sure that you check the "Case Sensitive" checkbox in the Find/Replace dialog box. By default BBEdit ignores case sensitivity so [a-z] will match letters of any case. You can add [0-9] to the second part of your pattern to add a space before the years.

Re: Best tool to open & search large log files (5GB+)

The size of the log files is why there are specialty programs to summarize and analyze them. However, I usually use a combination of CLI tools and BBEdit to pull out the information that I want. Some of the CLI tools seem more efficient than loading the file into BBEdit and using its tools to

The features which differentiate BBEdit primarily seem to have to do with HTML coding, automation, scripting, integration with source control, and project management. They mostly benefit those who spend all day programming, have need to automate repetitive data mangling, or who work with teams

The menu shortcuts make replacements like this pretty fast. Select the text you need to change, Command-E to set the find pattern, replace the text and re-select it, Command-Option-E to set the replacement pattern, and then Command-Option-= to replace all. I think those are all standard

In Preferences look at the Editing pane. Make sure "Include dictionary words in completion list" is checked. Then you can run the Complete command from the edit menu to see the list of completions for the current word. I think the default shortcut is F5, but you could change this on the Menus

Re: Replace leading 4x[space]s with 1x[tab] (each!)

The simpler answer is to use the Text > Entab... command. This will generally 
do the replace you want although it doesn't strictly follow the replace spaces 
only at the start of a line rule. The Text > Detab... command will replace tabs 
with spaces.

You can do this with a regular

I do this more times a day than I can count. Select text to replace, Cmd-E to use selection for find. Edit the text and re-select it. Cmd-Opt-E to use selection for replace. And then Cmd-G for find next to see if there's another instance in the document. I'll do this pretty much any time I'm

The problem is that .* generally doesn't match across lines, but you can replace it with a pattern like [\s\S]* to get a multi-line pattern. [\s\S]*? That should match the header no matter how many lines long it is. [fletcher] > On Sep 10, 2015, at 9:37 AM, J Hall wrote:

BBEdit can't do anything live on the server. It only allows you to edit the files which are served there. But, every web server should have a server-side include option either built-in or available through a more targeted module than PHP. Apache -
