Thanks for all the ideas. In a little more detail, I manage a fairly low-traffic site. I know I could copy everything to a sandbox directory and test in there, but then I've got to also direct my client apps to use the sandbox. Time-consuming. Sometimes when I need to make a relatively small change I'd like to download the "live" script, edit a little, and then do a syntax check to insure that -- oh, maybe I've got a 80% chance of it working before uploading. Just enough to catch the really stupid stuff.
Anyhow, I understand the limitations and workarounds now. Just now, I was able to finally get a clean syntax check after downloading a few files and also spending about 10 minutes with CPAN. It's not an ideal world, but I get by. Thanks again, Jerry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
