Hey Ted,

Try using the `bbfind` command line tool instead of `grep`.

1480 and counting. I was concerned about having this many clippings lying

That is indeed the case; there is no tag format nor any tags 
generator for human language content (or arbitrary plain text). :-)




Maybe Rich or Patrick can ring in. Or tell us if there’s another way to 
bulk-add completions.



In general, clippings are the appropriate solution for this 
purpose (or depending on one's specific needs, perhaps an 
external auto-typer app).

Give the "Extract" button in the multi-file search window a try. 
It may get you closer to what you're looking for.

Re: How to get truncated output from RegEx search

2019-04-19 Thread Sam Hathaway 
I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking about, but I wanted to 
suggest using a tool that’s designed to work with XML rather than with 
line-oriented text.


One such tool is 
[xml_grep2](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-xml_grep2/bin/xml_grep2).


Installing it on macOS is a little involved so you may not want to do 
it, but if you're interested here's how I did it:


```
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

brew install cpanminus libxml2
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/libxml2/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig"
cpanm App::Xml_grep2
```

Eventually, you should be able to run xml_grep2:

```
xml_grep2 --hR --text-only '//DataItem' * | bbedit
```

You can pipe that output to grep if you want to further filter the tag 
contents:


```
xml_grep2 --hR --text-only '//DataItem' * | grep -oE 
'(\{|\[)\s*[a-z]+\s*([0-9]+)\s*(\|.+?)?(\}|\])' | bbedit

```

Hope this helps! :-)

Hi,

in

them, I'm doing the following grep search from the command line:

grep -h -o -R -E '(\{|\[)\s*[a-z]+\s*([0-9]+)\s*(\|.+?)?(\}|\])' * | 
bbedit


I'm then removing duplicates and sorting. This gives me a very nice 
list of

the data I'm looking for. However, it also includes data that is not
wrapped in specific XML elements. Since grep only does line by line 
search

(processes each line of input) and since the XML elements span several
lines, I'm hoping I can use BBEdit to do the search, something like:

(?ms)(?\)(\{|\[)\s*[a-z]+\s*([0-9]+)\s*(\|.+?)?(\}|\])(?\<\/DataItem\>)

The problem here, though, is that the search results are sent to a 
search

results window. Is there any way to recreate the behavior of the grep
command above (the output is just the matching data with no filename, 
line
number, nor context)? I am fairly certain that the data I am looking 
for
(everything between [ or { and } or ]) does not span multiple lines 
(and if

it does it is a mistake on the input so it can be ignored).

I know I can fiddle with the IFS and do tricks like tr \n '' to put
everything onto a single line, but those create other problems of 
their own.


I know awk can do something similar but if I've understood what I've 
seen
online, it only simulates multiline search by using a loop (and I find 
the
syntax to be way, way too hard to follow in spite of how powerful it 
is,

so, not really a choice for me).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards from the Canary Islands.

How to get truncated output from RegEx search
