Ligatures not working in High Sierra

['Gareth Simpson' via BBEdit Talk]

Hi 

I'm using the Fira Code font for its ligature support.  It seems like since 
the upgrade to High Sierra this has stopped working.

I reapplied the defaults.write thing to turn it on again after the upgrade 
- both globally and specifically for that font - and it doesn't seem to be 
working any more.

Has anyone else seen this?

Cheers

Gareth

Re: File icons show Opera logo :-(

[Riccardo Perotti]

And FYI: this is not an OSX thing. The files have the right icons and open with 
the right applications from the finder.

This is exclusively BBEdit’s behavior/fault: having the wrong icon in the 
“Currently Open Documents” list and the Project’s file list.

Re: File icons show Opera logo :-(

[Riccardo Perotti]

OK, I just discovered something:

This is not happening to perl files per se, this is happening to *remote* files 
(opened via sftp browser), which in my case happen to be all perl files.

I just created a .txt file and a .jpeg file in the remote server. 

Both get Opera icons when opened via sftp browser.

This is really annoying!!!

Any ideas?

Support?

Thanks,


Riccardo Perotti

Re: Losing Preferences

[F. Alfredo Rego]

Hi Patrick,

It will be useful to backup BBEdit’s preferences with git, so we can detect any 
unwelcome changes and revert them whenever Apple decides to “help” (In Spanish, 
we say “no me ayudes, compadre” ;-)

What file(s) should we backup thus?

Thanks.

Alfredo

Re: Search and replace hard returns within short lines.

[Jim Danner]

For the record,
^.{1,35}\n
matches 1 to 35 characters on a line, followed by a newline - i.e. it would 
not match a line with 36 or more characters. Same for
^.{1,35}$
so this works as long as the line ending is also provided. In contrast,
^.{1,35}
would also match the first 35 characters of a line that is longer than that.

Re: Search and replace hard returns within short lines.

[Nestor Aguilera]

If **every** paragraph ends with a period, you could try to change
only those not of that form, something like

find: ([^\.])\n

replace: \1

or perhaps adding a space at the end of the replacing string.

You might want to consider first hyphenated words (if any): lines
ending with a hyphen just before newline.

Best,

Nestor

Re: Search and replace hard returns within short lines.

[Roland Küffner]

Hi,

if every line break you’d like to remove would be on a line with reliably
more than 35 characters this would be easy. You could search for:
^(.{35,})\n
and replace it with \1
Unfortunately, regular expressions (as I understand it) can’t match „1 to
35 characters, but only if there are no more than 35 characters on that
line“ (that would indeed be a job for sed)

If every paragraph would have two line breaks (an empty line between two
paragraphs) AND each paragraph line started with a character you could
search for a line break followed by a non-space character:
\n(\S)
and, again, replace that with \1

If paragraphs are not separated by empty lines I’d doubt that there is an
easy way to tell a grep pattern the difference between a „legit“ and an
„unwanted“ line break.

Re: Search and replace hard returns within short lines.

[Jim Danner]

If I read your question correctly, you don't want to "remove that 2nd hard 
return": that's the one you want to keep! All the other ones should go.

So we're searching for all lines with 36 or more characters followed by a 
space (correct?) and a newline, and we will replace them with everything 
except the newline.
In the search box, you can (with the *Grep* checkbox checked) 
search for:
^(.{36,} )\n


and replace it with
\1


(the \1 refers to the >35 characters and the space, but not the newline).

Search and replace hard returns within short lines.

[Mark C.]

So I'm cleaning up a text file that was converted from a PDF file. One of 
the problems is that each line break is a hard return.

I'd like to replace those hard returns.

However, at the end of each paragraph, there is also a hard return, so 
replacing the hard returns will remove all paragraph formatting.

However, the last line in each paragraph is never longer than 35 characters.

Is there a way within BBedit to search for [space] [hard return] [any 
sentence<35 characters [space] [hard return]  and remove that 2nd hard 
return?

I'm guessing I'll have to learn Sed to accomplish this, but thought I would 
ask here first.  Thank you.
