jmichel, I'm assuming from your question that you are able to find the line you want to replace.
If you want to replace your find with the file name--hardcoded--I would suspect that Applescript would be the choice of many, but I can't seem to get anything to work for me with Applescript. I'm sure it's my problem. You might consider BBEdit's "Include" options, specifically the persistent include mentioned on p. 380+ of my manual. For instance, starting with a short html test file (as per the example) <html> <head> <title>Include Test</title> <meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 9.2"> </head> <body> <!-- #bbinclude "filenamefoo.pl" --> <!-- end bbinclude --> </body> </html> When this file is Updated (Markup-> Update-> Document) the name of the current file is inserted into the document. You can put this in any file and it will update to include the document name. It depends on the short Perl program placed (in this case the same directory as the test file). #!/usr/bin/perl -w # saved as filenamefoo.pl my $file = shift @ARGV; print "Filename: $file\n"; Hope this helps. I'm sure there are other ways of accomplishing what you want done.
