I'd like to use BBEdit to remove spaces (or ideally replace spaces with underscores) from a string of variable length. Specifically, in a long HTML document I have lines that look like this: <h3><a name="_Toc196468809">This is some string of variable length</a></h3>
and in the end I'd like to have: <h3><a name="This_is_some_string_of_variable_length">This is some string of variable length</a></h3> I was trying to do this in two steps, and was able to get the first step to this: <h3><a name="This is some string of variable length">This is some string of variable length</a></h3> but now I'm not sure how to replace the spaces. Basically I'd like to be able to search for: <a name="([^"]*)"> and replace it with \1, but apply a s/ /_/ before I insert the replacement. Does this make sense? Is there a way to do this with BBEdit's grep? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
