I have a list of words that are separated by carriage returns.
This finds words that are 6 characters long:
^[\w]{6}$
Any suggestion on how to negate this expression so that it finds all
the words that are not 6 characters long?
If you want to avoid the verbosity of AppleScript, this text filter
will do what you want:
#/usr/bin/perl
while (<>){
s~\b(\w{1,5}|\w{7,})\b~\U$&~g;
print;
}
or
#!perl -p
s~\b(\w{1,5}|\w{7,})\b~\U$&~g;
Otherwise in the substitution expression s~find~replace~ you need to
change Perl's '$&' to BBEdit's (PCRE's) '\0'
This will change all words in the document (or selection) not 6
characters long to upper case.
