Hey Marek, Then you'll want to contact support, because Rich and Patrick are not guaranteed to read the user list. In any case – keep in mind that BBEdit uses PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) and generally (but not perfectly) follows the PCRE specification: https://www.pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrepattern.html <https://www.pcre.org/original/doc/html/pcrepattern.html> Curated change Log: http://www.rexegg.com/pcre-documentation.html <http://www.rexegg.com/pcre-documentation.html> You'll see that \h, \H, \v, \V, and \R have been around for quite a while. > Your search and replace is not doing what Dj was asking for ...

Dj is smart enough to decide if he prefers his method or mine for this purpose. > I am wondering, why you want to put it into a perl-script and not directly in > search and replace of BBEdit. Is that a question for Dj or me? I save a lot of time and effort by having a variety of pre-made BBEdit text filters. I even built a Keyboard Maestro macro to make them easier to use. -- Best Regards, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
