No problem. I'm very interested in seeing if anyone responds to your initial message, though. Like you, it would be awesome to do it within BBEdit. Take care.

Perfect!  Thanks Hector.

Just wish I could do it with BBEdit using includes and variables.
But can’t figure out how to do so from a list of data.

I guess it would require applescripting knowledge.

Peter

Interesting question. Here's something I ran across a while ago, just in case:

Hi folks

Pardon me if this seems an ignorant question, but is there functionality in BBEdit whereby I can produce a list of similar pages with a template, whereby certain areas of the page are populated with a list of data, say from a CSV file.

I guess I mean something similar to a Word Processor's mail merge functionality.

The case in point: I have about 200 web pages to make displaying our company's show reel of QuickTime movies.

Each page is exactly the same, but for the content related to the particular video. I have a list of all the vids, their attributes and so on, ready to populate my template, but it just seems silly having to do it by hand.

I realise I could explore some kind of CMS solution, but I rather like hand building my site, and find a lot of CMSes out there limiting in one way or another.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
Peter
