Thank you for this interesting tip. I now know how to specify the output path by dragging the output file to the command line when the item it is replacing is the last one in the command, but how do I do it for an item in the middle of the command? Also, when I entered the above text in Terminal to try it out, I got the error message "zsh: command not found: $". David -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
