I use the most funky TextExtras, which (amongst other things) allows me to pass selections through arbitrary Unix pipes - and bind said user pipes to key combinations.
See <http://www.lorax.com/FreeStuff/TextExtras.html> for download details. Not quite what you want... but *very* useful. For example, I have command-/ bound to a little perl program that formats my mail messages the way I like them - which I use rather than letting the Mail app mangle it :-) Adrian On Friday, October 11, 2002, at 02:43 pm, Alexandre Enkerli wrote: > Did anyone try building a System Service (in the "Services" submenu) to > apply Perl regular expressions on selected text? > What I have in mind is a Perl version of WordService: > <http://home.arcor-online.de/grunenberg/wordservice.html> > So we could have a bunch of preset scripts triggered by keystrokes as > well as a way to enter one-liners or custom scripts directly from any > Services-aware app. > I'm not sure about this but it could possibly preserve text styles in RTF > files...
