I believe BBEdit can do this, but I have been unable to parse the
answer out of "Conditional Subpatterns" in the Help's "Searching
with Grep", and suspect it's simple for folks here. I need to
unwrap configuration stanzas for a Big-IP load balancer. I want to
perform either one of 2 transformations:
a) If the last character on a line *is not* '}': remove the next
return.
b) If the last character on a line *is* '}': leave the return, and
add 'b ' before the next line.
I think Search For should be '(.)\r', but I haven't been able to
gin up a suitable Replace With.
Suggestions?
I'm happy to be contradicted, but I don't think conditional
subpatterns will support conditional replacement. This is either a
job for a filter (eg Perl) or a two-pass replacement:
a. find ([^}])\r replace \1
b. find }\r replace }\rb
