Thanx to Ted for your quick reaction and a semi-solution. That
works. But it would be really nice to know how to generate such
repeating terms. Because I need this often and in different ways.
So I'm glad for today but still interested in a more professional solution.
Here's a quick and relatively simple solution, based on a shell
script and making use of BBEdit's support for _text filters_.
1. Create a new document within BBEdit.
2. Copy the text below (within the equal signs) and paste it
into the document:
====
#!/bin/sh
for i in {1..50}
do
echo "word$i"
done
====
3. Save the document to disk with a meaningful name, e.g. "make
numbered words.sh".
4. Choose the BBEdit -> Folders -> Text Filters menu item.
This action should cause the Finder to open the "Text
Filters" subfolder
of BBEdit's app support folder.
5. Place the script you just created into the "Text Filters" subfolder.
You can now invoke the text filter you just created by selecting
it in the Text -> Apply Text Filter submenu, with just one
caveat -- but an important one:
Please be sure to select at least one character (which can be
just a space) before applying this filter. (If you do _not_ do
this then the filter will replace the entire contents of the
active document with its own output.)
