Finding and replacing multiple blocks of text bounded
by definable search strings that may be separated by many hundreds, if
not thousands of arbitrary lines has never been possible (stack
overflows, except when intervening lines < ~100) within TextWrangler
or BBEdit. The files may be many hundreds of MB in size. My only
workaround was to define a search expression for the start block and
another for the end block then alternate the searches, toggling the
extend selection checkbox in the modal find dialog. With key bindings
for all the components of this replacement strategy, excluding the
alternating search expressions, this process was reasonably efficient.
Geoff,
Have you considered using a script for this work?
You could certainly imitate the original behavior with a script.
Run the first search, get the index of the result, run the
second search, get the index of the result, set the selection to
the full range.
No?
