I'm currently re-using grep find/replace via the Find dialog because I can't find a way to save and sequentially apply a number of find/replace tasks (e.g. 4 or 5 discrete tasks) to a file.
It feels like a Text Factory is the place to do this but it's not to clear. It looks like the rather un-intuitively titled "Replace all" option is the way to go but to to easily re-use find/Replace parings you need to save those as a saved pattern (correct term?) So, I *think* I've found all the pieces of the task but the documentation could surely be improved as nowhere I can find is this collection of steps hinted at in order to do the predictable task of using Find & Replace in a Text Factory. I love this app but the manual could do with some review to check items hasn't hidden from search by use of feature terminology that someone new to the feature is unlikely to know. In another context, I sit on the other end of this task, so I know it seems like a thankless documentation task. For the user of the documentation, the upside is considerable if terminology-obscured features are made more findable. Thanks Mark -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
