Indeed. Works like a charm now. I feel for the “Text Factories” in “Text
Factories ƒ” trick.
Thanks Rich.

Please make sure to save (or move) your text factory file into
the correct folder, which by default is:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/
or adjust as appropriate if you're using a Dropbox (or iCloud)
app support folder.

Further to that text factory that I've created twice. Neither are showing
up in the Text/Apply Text Filter submenu. What am I doing wrong?
There is no project, nor a file. Just the selected text. But it doesn't
show up in the submenu.

Hi Sam. Thanks for the input.
Ya this is for appending to config files for FreeBSD setup. So it’s all
manually inserted. I thought I’d be targeting current lines to target files
(hence the syntax) and thought I’d find a way of modifying these lines using
BBEdit.
As Patrick has demonstrate
I suggest escaping shell metacharacters, unless you want to have a Bad
Time the first time one of your lines contains `"`, `\`, or `$`. Here is
a text filter solution in Perl:
```
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use String::ShellQuote;
while (<>) {
chomp;
print 'echo ',
In general, a _text filter_ is best suited for this type of
task[*] and you can use any kind of filter item that can do the
desired manipulation, from a shell script, or a Perl/Python/etc
script, to a _text factory_ which contains suitable action(s).
So per your example, I'd just create a text

Hey Ric
Hi Fletcher. Long time. Rich F here.
It's a per-line item. A whole block of code would be inserted into that
SELECT. Been using SELECT for some time.

Sounds like text filter is what I'm needing. I'll have a look.
The functionality of BB is confusing after all these years. Cheers

Just tested. I was correct in that assumption:
alpha
bravo
charlie
==>
echo "alpha
bravo
charlie" >> $target

Actually, re-reading your post, I think the clipping you are looking for is
this:
echo "#SELECT#" >> $target

You can define a clipping by creating a pattern with #SELECT# in place of where
you want the current selection to go. If I understand what you're looking for
your clipping would like this
I think you'd use a text filter for that. But be warned; if your text
contains shell metacharacters ($, ", \, etc.) you're going to have a bad
time.
