Hey Rod,
If I remember correctly Bill's original question specified fewer than 100
lines, so that's what I was working with at the time.
Mark is on the money
I am incredibly rusty at shell scripts, but shouldn’t you be able to use the wc
(word count) utility to find the number of lines? If so,
the script could use ‘wc -l’ to check the number of lines, and spit its output
to ‘wc -m’, which should count the number of characters in that output. Store
One problem with -w2 is if the file is >= 100 lines it breaks:
$ nl -w2 -s'. ' ...
98.
99.
00.
01.
02.
$ nl -nrz -w2 -s'. ' ...
98.
99.
00.
01.
02.

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

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

Both? I would pick one (Homebrew) and stick with it. I gave up MacPorts because
it required a full install of Xcode
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?
The way I figure, they take up so little space, I’d rather have them there for
the rare occasion when someday some app may need one of

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

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

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

Hey Folks,
This method is problematic in that it
Doh!
That should be

Or create a two-line shell script (name it "NumberLines.sh") and put it in
Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters
#!/bin/sh
nl -ba -s '. '
Make sure it is executable
chmod 777 NumberLines.sh
Then you can run it like so
Text->Apply Text
Two easy steps to add the line numbers.
1) Text > Prefix/Suffix Lines … -- prefix each line with ". "
2) Text > Add/Remove Line Numbers …

whenever I have this kind of (uncommon) task, I copy/paste in a

There is not. However, one could add a step and use a Grep
search and replace to change "\d+" into "\0. ".
Rich,
Is there a way to use the "Add/Remove Line Numbers" option to add a period
after each number, followed by a space? Or would one have to use the
"Prefix/Suffix Lines" option first to add the period and space, and then use
the "Add/Remove Line Numbers" option to add the actual numbers, but
Thanks!
I thougth this is the line numbering in a file, in the gutter!
Thanks again!

There was a post in this group to do this very thing. I can no longer find
it to credit the creator. However what he posted was to put this code into
a BBedit file:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw
use utf8;
$/ = "\n";
my $cntr = 0;
while (<>) {
print ++$cntr.". ";
