i am enjoying playing grep finds in BBedit

i can envisage using it to re-organise a document I am working on to prepare it for insertion into a Filemaker DB

Right now I'd like to learn a little thing which I don't yet understand

I can write simple find and replace patterns

I'm currently looking at a most simple one to pick out special numbers from a documents

search pattern: BS [\d]+

I've run this in BBedit and finds the strings that I want it to

Now I want to produce a document with only the results of the implemented search

In Terminal that would seem to be egrep -o "searchpattern" File > newFile

But it doesn't work

why not?
