By design, BBEdit's line processing commands target whole lines
only since processing partial and/or blocks of lines is (in
general) quite a bit more complicated.
Instead, I recommend you try the "Extract" command (which is
tailor-made for just this sort of task :-) and you can configure
& apply this command in the Find or Multi-File Search windows or
invoke it directly via Search -> Extract.

So, to accomplish this, I thought I could use the “Process
lines containing” option, and then, using a grep pattern in
the file name, lastmod date and priority fields, I could copy
all four strings contained in a URL section — in other words,
from the opening “<url>” tag to the closing “</url>”
tag to a new document.
However, BBEdit does not seem to want to have anything to do
with processing a multi-line selection contains three grep patterns.
In short, if I give BBEdit something like this . . .
<url>
<loc>https://www\.billkochman\.com/Articles/(.+?)\.html</loc>
<lastmod>(.+?)</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>(.+?)</priority>
</url>
. . . and ask it to copy all URL sections which meet that
criteria to a new document, it does nothing . . . not even an
alarm beep saying “You can’t do that!”.
And, yes, I do have the grep box checked in the processing window.
So is there a way to process an entire section of lines like
that, and treat it as a whole, or is this an exercise in futility?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Bill K.
