Hey Elliott,
This sounds like something you should report to Bare Bones Support (see the
footer of any given message).
In lieu of other solutions I'd try a Perl script.
It needs the file-to-be-searched to be selected in the Finder.
Presently it prints the entire line where the pattern is matched, but that can
easily be changed to return 1 or more capture groups.
(If your regular expression spans more than 1 line then you need a different
solution.)
Look for “Your regular expression goes here:” in the script and change the
pattern as needed.
You can run this directly from a BBEdit text document, or you can install it in
the Script Menu folder and run from the Script Menu directly or with an
assigned keyboard shortcut.
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/<yourScriptName>.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw
