Yup, that entirely makes sense :) and thus may I also suggest
you consider the Text -> Process Lines Containing command.
This command can extract all the lines within the frontmost
document that contain a specific string (or grep pattern) into a
new document which you can then either use and discard, or save,
as desired.

The use case here is log parsing. So i have a log with a lot of information
about a lot of objects. I want to strip everything except the information
about one specific object, so i want to filter the file showing only the
lines that contain a specific string.
If i can do that, then i don’t even have to pump it into a separate file.
Makes sense?

First, you can save a couple of steps by using File -> Export as Text to
create a file directly from the search results.
Next, though there is no option to omit the file & line number, you can
easily strip that info via an appropriate grep search & replace, and, if
you expect needing to do so often, you can either
a) save the search & replace pattern via the Saved Patterns (g) popup
within the Find or Multi-File Search windows, or
b) create a _text factory_ and add a suitable 'Replace All' action,
then save that factory into the "Text Filters" subfolder of BBEdit's
app support folder and invoke it via Text -> Apply Text Filter ->
[Your_Filter_Name].
Beyond that, may I ask what you plan to do with the saved search results,
e.g. are they purely archival or how else do you wish to transform them?

Hi all!
Just started with BBEdit.
How do i export search results into a new document? Currently i do this:
Search
Copy Search results
Open new document
Paste
Problem here is that in front of every line i get the filename and line
number where BBEdit found what i was searching for. I want to eliminate
that.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ton.
