Check out the File Menu, Hex Dump options. >2. Change the end of line character in BBEdit to one that Final Cut Pro or >Motion will recognize as a new line character. BBEdit uses the RETURN 0A or \r character for returns internally for all files. It is only when you save to disk that the line ends are converted to what you have asked for. Files opened for editing get changed to internal format as they are read into memory but the file itself is not changed until saved. "Copy" to the system clipboard and "Get" requests from an AppleScript generally do something one does not want. I, for one, am continually frustrated by that, especially when I really need to edit files that use different line ends for different purposes. "Line ending confusion with text factories" is the subject line for some recent discussion with some AppleScript work-arounds.
