I actually did this via script, and that's the point of the exercise. tell application "BBEdit" tell front text document add prefix (lines 1 thru -1) prefix "url = " end tell end tell I'm starting to re-learn how to script BBEdit, and this step is a small part of a more complex filter I'm building. That filter is bound to a keyboard shortcut and preprocesses an html file for use with curl. Eventually I'll probably move to a Perl filter, but my Perl skills are quite rudimentary at the moment. On the Perl topic does anyone have recommendations for online resources and books for a rank beginner?
