I donno if it's intended or not but I regularly run perl and shell scripts that muck with a file that BBEdit has open. BBEdit recognizes that the underlying file has been changed and modifies its display automatically when you make the BBEdit window active again. BBEdit may complain under some conditions like editing changes that were in effect but not saved before you do that so it's a good idea to save before running such a script but it's not required and there may be reasons not to. -- --> Give me liberty or give me Obamacare <-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
