@ Bruce: Unfortunately, my script-fu is not worth mentioning. And yes, my source example was poorly formatted. I expect zero or more results for those searches, which should result in
file_1.txt: foo file_1.txt: fOo file_7.txt: fOO etc. when searching for f(o)+ @ jj: > File menu' > 'Export as text ...' usefully exports the results of a multi-file search. I just tried saving a BBEDit multi-file search results window, but it doesn’t work: the file menu items are disabled, and the keyboard shortcuts don’t work, either. *But* the content of said multi-file search results window can be selected and copied to the clipboard – and that’s fairly close to what I need: the file name and the full line with the match. This allows me to drill down and extract file name and search terms in a second pass: Search for ^([^:]+):.*(foo) Replace by \1\t\2 Not perfect, but close enough – so thank you for pointing me in the right direction. :) On Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at 4:44:32 PM UTC+1 jj wrote: > Hi Martin, > > 'File menu' > 'Export as text ...' usefully exports the results of a > multi-file search. > Maybe that's something you could use. > > HTH > > Jean Jourdain > -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
