Hey Steve,

Good idea, although not everyone will place BBEdit in the /Applications folder.

Here's how to script it and let the OSX find the app for you.

Search/Replace with GREP wildcards

[1611mac]

Is it possible to "Replace" wildcard strings?

For example, given this "FIND" string entered in Find and Replace:  ="#.*"  

How would I "REPLACE" the wildcard text found with the same text set in all 
caps?


Example:
="#foo"  becomes ="#FOO"

Re: SASS Compiler?

[Patrick Woolsey]

If you've already installed any command-line package which is 
capable of compiling SASS to CSS, it should be fairly easy to 
attach a script to BBEdit's 'documentDidSave' event to 
automatically generate a corresponding ".css" file.


[For anyone who's inclined to try this, please do :) and you're 
welcome to ping support if you have any questions about using 
the attachment script.]

+1 for CodeKit.

[ANN] BBEdit 11.6 (3921) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're working on an update to BBEdit 11 which will add some new 
features and address a few recently reported issues.


Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix 
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our 
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this 
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions. If 
this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the public 
release versions is your best course of action. Nobody will be 
offended if you choose to do so; you're under no obligation to 
install and use anything but a public release. :-)


Following is a summary of changes since the most recent 
pre-release (whose own notes are here: ).


The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and 
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So 
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that 
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed 
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before 
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.


One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, 
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking 
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please 
send a bug report to  and we will deal 
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on 
topic and productive for all list members.




version 11.6 (3921) (2016-05-17)

Additions
-

*   [DOC] "Find Differences" gets two new options in the dialog box:
"Ignore blank lines" and an "All" option in the "Ignore spaces"
group. These operate as you might imagine: "Ignore blank lines"
skips differences that consist entirely of blank lines, and
turning on "All" causes all whitespace to be ignored during
comparison.

Changes
---

o   (none in this build)

Fixes
-

*   [NFR] [322366] Fixed regression in which the Open File by Name
window's results didn't update when making a selection and
choosing "Open Selection".

*   [321110] When generating markup from the Markup Builder panel,
attribute values now have leading and trailing whitespace and
line breaks trimmed before insertion.

*   [318446] Fixed bug in which Option-clicking to move the
insertion point would frequently leave behind a stale line
highlight.

==end==

The package can be downloaded from our web server:

No, but for what it's worth, CodeKit is pretty wonderful, IMHO.
