I am not new to BBEdit but I have never done any scripting, and
it seems that text factory will not do what I want so I am
looking for pointers to scripts or whatever to do this:
1. Run multi finds using a series of grep searches (not
replaces). There might be up to 10 or more searches.
2. Put the output found (results) into one document so they are
all together (prefixed by document path where they were found)
I know I can do this manually but I would really like it to be
automated and guess it has to be applescript (or perl).
You just described `grep` command line. You will probably need
to read some docco:
From command line (Terminal):
man grep
Or online:
https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html
Put all your search patterns in one file (eg. search-patterns.txt):
search.*1 pattern
pattern.*2
search.*10
Then run grep
grep -R -f search patterns.txt path/to/files/ > found-results.txt
bbedit found-results.txt
Or go straight to bbedit:
grep -R -f search patterns.txt path/to/files/ | bbedit found-results.txt
If you want to avoid Terminal, then run the above in a BBEdit worksheet.
Note, grep has regular and 'extended' regex syntax, which is why
I said you may need to read docco. It depends on how complex
your search terms are.
