Hello e2o
Here's a little script which I hope will do as you wish:
tell application "BBEdit"
find "(?<![0-9.])" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options
{search mode:grep, backwards:true} with selecting match
find "[0-9.]+" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search
mode:grep} with selecting match
end tell
As sent the lines beginning with "find" have no line breaks. I think
these line breaks might well be inserted by email system.
The script is based on the insertion point being put in the IP
address. It looks back for the beginning of the IP address then
selects the address looking forward.
You can record scripts like this which is an extremely excellent thing
with BBEdit imho.
If you want to look into the Grep then the excellent Grep reference in
BBEdit help will explain all.
That is if it works :)
