Hey John,
This one is easy, although GREP usually looks very alien to those unfamiliar
with it.
Pattern 1 take into account the possibility of single digits in both the date
and the time, while Pattern 2 assumes a fixed-length date and time.
Pattern 1: <p class="text">\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{4} \d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}</p>
Pattern 2: <p class=\"text\">\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}</p>
\d == a digit
[0-9] == although not used here it is a more traditional digit means of
representing a digit.
{1,2} == quantifiers: in this case one OR two
Notice that in the script you need to double-up on escape characters - '\'
becomes '\\'.

set grepPattern1 to "<p class=\"text\">\\d{1,2}-\\d{1,2}-\\d{4}
\\d{1,2}:\\d{1,2}:\\d{1,2}</p>"
set grepPattern2 to "<p class=\"text\">\\d{2}-\\d{2}-\\d{4}
\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}</p>"
tell application "BBEdit"
try
tell text of front text window
replace grepPattern2 using "" options {starting at top:true, search
mode:grep, case sensitive:false}
# More replace statements here #
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
set sep to "=============================="
set e to sep & return & "Error: " & errMsg & return & sep & return ¬
& "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep
beep
display dialog e
end try
end tell
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can create multiple replace statements and go to town.
