I've never used Scrip editor. the "↵" symbol i put in, I actually need it to "move to next line" in BBEdit I just do "command + enter" what do i put in the Script to move to next line?
I would much rather use Grep but I'm not sure I know how to create what you're describing. when i select Find Replace i only see the option for 1 search and only a Grep check box. No option to Start at top or do multiple at same time Sorry if i dont make sense... Thanks for your help!
