Thanks Ronald. That is exactly what I needed. Works great. I'll break down the grep and try to understand what you wrote. "Process Lines" wouldn't work for me because I can only save, copy, etc. I want to insert at each line and then edit my insertion. Thanks to all who replied. Gary

Of course, until I get stumped. I can't find in the BBEdit Grep help how to exclude a word. I am trying to find all lines in a document that do not include the word "foo". There is no regular expression to do what you describe. Well, that's not quite true: ^(?:(?!foo).)*$ Nonetheless, it's easier to use Process Lines Containing, which has an option to behave just like `grep -v`.
