(Also I'm asking for someone else. I almost never search on '\n' myself) It would seem if you do want to make this a feature in the future simply have a filter function you run the grep text through before passing it to your grep functions. In that filter function simply replace '\n' with '\r'. Then expose a checkmark in the Preferences that turns this filter's use on or off. I bet a lot of people would appreciate it. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
