Re: [IMPORTANT] macOS Sonoma Compatibility

[Darren Duncan]

Would you be able to provide more information on what it is about BBEdit prior 
to 14.6 that macOS Sonoma would refuse to run it?  And is this something likely 
to affect other applications as well?  Thank you. -- Darren Duncan

Since Apple will be shipping macOS Sonoma this coming Tuesday (9/26), here is 
some important compatibility information for all BBEdit customers:

*   macOS Sonoma *will not run* versions of BBEdit older than 14.6. If you 
attempt to run a version of BBEdit older than 14.6 on macOS Sonoma, the OS will 
advise you of this with an alert; confirming the alert will forcibly exit the 
application.

*   If you are currently using a version of BBEdit older than 14.6, and are 
planning to update to macOS Sonoma, we strongly recommend that you update or 
upgrade (as appropriate) to BBEdit 14.6.7 (the current public release, at this 
writing) before installing the new OS version.

BBEdit 14.6.7 is a free update for all BBEdit 14.x customers, and you can obtain it by choosing 
"Check for Updates" from the BBEdit application menu, or by downloading and 
installing it from the BBEdit updates page on our web site: 
 .

If you are using an older version of BBEdit and are planning to upgrade to 
macOS Sonoma, you will need to update or upgrade your installed version, as 
appropriate:

*   If your 30-day evaluation has previously expired, you will get a new 30-day 
evaluation period after installing BBEdit 14.6.7 from our web site: 
 . This is a fine 
opportunity to try out all of the new features that we introduced since the version 
you've been using.

*   If you have a license for an older version of BBEdit (13.x or older), you can 
download and start using BBEdit 14.6.7 immediately. You'll have 30 days of fully 
functional operation, and can obtain significantly discounted upgrade pricing from 
our web store:  .

We have also updated the macOS compatibility page on our web site with this 
information: .

Full compatibility information will be forthcoming as soon as we complete 
testing with the final release version of the OS.

Thanks for reading,

R.

[IMPORTANT] macOS Sonoma Compatibility

[ANN] BBEdit 14.6.8 (14D87) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're currently working on a maintenance update to BBEdit 14 to 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. :-)

Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in this cycle are 
available 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.

Here is the list of changes made since the 14.6.7 public release:



version 14.6.8 (14D87)  (2023-09-20)

Additions
-

o   (none in this build)

Changes
---

o   (none in this build)

Fixes
-

*   Fixed a bug in which using "Preview in BBEdit" on a document
which didn't support syntax coloring (such as "Text File" or
"(none)") would generate an empty preview.

*   [464282] Fixed bug in which backspacing over certain zero-width
characters which were displayed as gremlins would not work
correctly, when "Show Invisibles" was turned off.

*   [469384] For SSH connections, suppress any `LocalCommand` config
directives, which will cause a login failure because sftp does
not like things on standard output which are not protocol data.

*   [468514] Changed "a warning" to "an error" at an important point
in the `bbresults(1)` man page.

*   [468613] Fixed bug in which the "Forget Item" button in the
alert presented for a missing item chosen from the "Open Recent"
menu would not always forget. ("Pepperidge Farm remembers...")

*   [470054, 470115] Fixed bug in which a couple of Search menu
commands would behave strangely when applied to an editing window
that was in full-screen mode with the Find window in front of it
(but without focus, due to having clicked in the editing window).

*   Worked around a regression in macOS 14 which prevented the About
window credits from displaying until the mouse passed over the
text area.

*   [470216] Unicode "soft hyphens" do not ordinarily display, but
if you turn on "Show Invisibles", BBEdit will present them using
an em-dash in the all-purpose invisibles color.

*fin*

The package can be downloaded from our web server:



Enjoy,

R.

Re: add # comment to python code

[Bruce Van Allen]

\s* stands for zero or more whitespace characters, including \n and \r 
(newlines).

Two ways (at least) to get what you want:

1. Instead of \s, use a character class. [ \t] defines a character class with a 
spacebar space and a tab.

* All of these start at beginning of line due to ‘^’ anchor.

  ^[ \t]*print # zero or more spaces or tabs before ‘print’ 

  ^[ \t]print  # one tab or space before ‘print'

  ^[ \t]+print # one or more spaces or tabs before ‘print'


2. Use \h instead of [ \t] or \s; \h stands for horizontal whitespace, applies 
more widely to horizontal whitespace characters.

  ^\h*print

  ^\hprint

  ^\h+print

You can use a (?-s) at the beginning of the pattern.

Or you could use the "Un/Comment" command on the Text menu. :-)

Enjoy,

[John Mitchell]

my search string is:  ^\s*print
my replace string is:  #\0

however it goes over the end of a blank line to connect with a next 
"print..."
How do I stop the multiline operation?
