Hey Howard,
If you're going to do this regularly you might want to systematize the process.
Place the following script in:
~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Auth: Christopher Stone
# dCre: 2021/05/07 06:07
# dMod: 2021/05/07 06:07
# Task: Recursively Concatenate Files in the Front Finder Window.
# Tags: @ccstone, @Shell, @Script, @Concatenate, @Files, @Finder, @BBEdit
# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Acquire the path to the Front Finder Window. (Finder Insertion Location.)
read -r -d '' asCmdStr <<'EOF'
tell application "Finder"
set targetFolder to insertion location as alias
return POSIX path of targetFolder
end tell
EOF
targetFolderPath=$(osascript -e "$asCmdStr")
# Change the working directory to the Finder Insertion Location.
cd "$targetFolderPath"
# Find files, concatenate their contents, send result to BBEdit.
find -E . -type f \( ! -name ".*" \) -exec sed -n '1,$p' {} \; | bbedit
Give it a memorable name.
If desired give it a keyboard shortcut in BBEdit's Menus & Shortcuts
Preferences.
REQUIREMENTS:
BBEdit's command line tools must be installed.
USAGE:
1) Open the desired target directory in the Finder, so its window is FRONTMOST.
2) Run the script from BBEdit's Script menu or via a keyboard shortcut.
RESULT:
A new window will be opened in BBEdit containing the concatenated contents of
every file in the target directory (recursive).
