The script
• reads the document line by line,
• surrounds all (~g) occurrences of "myword" (case-insensitive ~i) with curly
brackets,
• prints the line.
Instructions:
Save the script in the Text Filters folder as ***.pl
( Terminal:— cd; open Library/Application\ Support/BBedit/Text* )
Open the palette: Menu: Window::Palettes::Text Filters
Select the script and set an optional keyboard shortcut
With your document frontmost, run the script
You can undo the action of the UNIX filter but…
… to see the result without altering the doc, run the script from the Scripts
folder+palette
