Will an AppleScript do it? I recently had a similar problem and came
up with:
repeat n times
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
find "your grep search pattern" searching in text 1 of text document 1
options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false} with selecting match
cut selection
make new text document at text window 1
paste
end tell
end repeat
document 1 was the front window. I had 800 things to extract so I set
n to 800, and wound up with 800 open files.
The problem I had then was to automate the saving of the resulting
file with a unique filename.
