Hi Dj, To address the shebang issue ensure the first line of your script file includes something like: #!/usr/bin/perl
I don’t know the first thing about Perl, fortunately replacing multiple spaces with single spaces is a simple search and replace with grep in BBEdit: Search for (omitting "): "\s+" Replace with (omitting "): " " I notice you are also capitalising the first letter of the line. This can be done with a menu command: Text > Change Case > Capitalize Lines Hope this helps Cheers Ollie On Sun, 13 Jan 2019 at 12:02, Dj <futurevint...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > > I'm trying to replace spaces between words so a sentence like this: > > "this line has really messed up spacing" > > Looks like this: > > "This line has really messed up spacing" > > I'm only trying to change *space between words and not carriage returns > and all that.* So far I've tried placing this in the scripts folder: > > perl -pe 's/ +/ /g' > > I get the *error message:* "This file doesn’t appear to contain a valid > ‘shebang’ line (application error code: 13304)." > > Anyone know *what could be wrong, or have a better expression/way to > achieve this?
