Presumably, these are files with ASCII characters. If so, the pattern [[:ascii:]]+ will match the entire file. But if all you want to do is add something at the start of the files, the pattern /A is the start of a document and should be a sufficient search pattern. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
