Re: Displaying Code Page 437

[Rick Gordon]

What if you set your text encoding to one of the other Western encodings?

Re: Possible with Grep?

*(?i)* in the string will render it case-insensitive, as will unchecking *Case 
sensitive* at the bottom of the BBEdit Find/Replace dialog.

Most BBEdit-like Terminal Editor ??

[Rick Gordon]

What Terminal editor is the most similar in interface to BBEdit (i.e., the 
easiest TUI editor for a person who is most comfortable with BBEdit), which 
I might install on a remote machine where it may sometimes require text 
editing within the Terminal?

Re: BBEdit Environment for html

[Rick Yentzer]

I think Local is the easiest to quickly get up and running. Mamp is good 
too. DevKinsta is another one that Docker containers, but it really easy to 
use. Of these three, I'd choose Local or Mamp.
If you want to piece it together yourself, you can install php with 
Homebrew on the command line.

Re: Automatically indent python code

Hi Claudio,
I mainly use Black for Python formatting as well. 
They have nice documentation that shows how to customize its output. 
That may get you closer to what you want.

Re: Color and text

[Rick Gordon]

You need a word processing program for that sort of thing. Nisus Writer 
Pro is excellent, in that it has very robust regular expression support 
(among other things), which I find essential, especially after years of 
BBEdit use.


You can save a BBEdit file as styled text, which will retain all its 
colors on import to Nisus.

Hello,

I'm a newbie with BBEdit use.
I was unable to find any help about some very simple actions : while 
in a plain text document, here is a bunch of text :

"/ACPI To Reset RHUBs (May Conflict With Existing  SSDT)/"
- how could I put "*reset*" in bold ?
- how could I put "existing" in red ?
- how could I put "Conflict" before green background ?

Re: Formatting Multiple Choice Questions Using Regex

[Rick Gordon]

Actually, in case there should be no quoted element in the question, step 4 
and step 6 should end with * instead of +, since in that case, the whole 
line would be captured in step 2.

So I'm revising my FIND component to:

(?:^\d+\.\h+)([^"\r]+)("?)([^"\r]*)("?)(.*)\r\h+(?:a\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:b\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:c\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:d\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h*

Well, the numbered list formatting got screwed up from step 8, but I think

The Find code should work based on your examples, but explaining it out:

   1. (?:^\d+\.\h+)
   Starting at the beginning of the paragraph, any number of digits 
   followed by a period and at least one space or tab
   Process and ignore. It will be replaced by MC followed by a tab. [ MC\t ]
   2. ([^"\r]+)
   Anything but a straight quote or a return
   Will be preceded by a straight quote, followed by the captured text. [ 
   "\1 ]
   3. ("?)
   One or no straight quotes
   Will be replaced by itself twice; so one quote will be replaced by two 
   quotes and nothing will be replaced by nothing. [ \2\2 ]
   4. ([^"\r]+)
   Same as #2 [ \3 ]
   5. ("?)
   Same as #3 [ \4\4 ]
   6. (.+)
   Anything else to the end of the paragraph.
   The captured text, followed by a straight quote [ \5" ]
   7. \r\h+
   A return followed by at least one series of spaces or tabs
   Replaced by one tab [ \t ]
   8. (?:a\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+
   a. [ (?:a\)\h ]  Lowercase "a" followed by a right paren and a space or 
   tab; 
   b. [ (?:[^{\r]+) ]  Anything but a left brace or a return, up to the 
   return; 
   c. [ (\{C\})? ]  One or zero instances of Capital "C" enclosed in curly 
   braces;
   d. [ \r\h+ ]  A return followed by one or more spaces or tabs.
   Process and ignore. It will be replaced by "Choice 1" followed by a tab, 
   followed by "Incorrect", followed by the result of one or zero instances of 
   Capital "C" enclosed in curly braces [ Choice 1\tIncorrect\6\t ]
   9. (?:b\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+
   For answer "b", analogous to the explanation in step 8 [ Choice 
   2\tIncorrect\7\t ]
   10. (?:c\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+
   For answer "c", analogous to the explanation in step 8 [ Choice 
   3\tIncorrect\8\t ]
   11. (?:d\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h* 
   For answer "d", analogous to the explanation in step 8, except for 
   allowing for no spaces after the return, and not adding a final tab [ Choice

Re: Formatting Multiple Choice Questions Using Regex

Howard, you would need to have this in Replace: 

MC\t"\1\2\2\3\4\4\5"\tChoice 1\tIncorrect\6\tChoice 2\tIncorrect\7\tChoice 
3\tIncorrect\8\tChoice 4\tIncorrect\9 

Your replace field shows the desired outcome, not the Replace element of 
the regex.

Re: Formatting Multiple Choice Questions Using Regex

[Rick Gordon]

This will require two regexes, which could be set up as a text factory. 

The first will handle everything except for the Correct field. It is: 

-- 
FIND: 
(?:^\d+\.\h+)([^"\r]+)("?)([^"\r]+)("?)(.+)\r\h+(?:a\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:b\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:c\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h+(?:d\)\h)(?:[^{\r]+)(\{C\})?\r\h*
 


REPLACE: 
MC\t"\1\2\2\3\4\4\5"\tChoice 1\tIncorrect\6\tChoice 2\tIncorrect\7\tChoice 
3\tIncorrect\8\tChoice 4\tIncorrect\9 
-- 

That would change this: 

1. Why is the "Description" component important when reflecting on sports? 
   a) It helps you set future goals. 
   b) It provides context and sets the stage for reflection. 
   c) It summarizes the main lessons learned. {C} 
   d) It assesses the positive and negative aspects. 

2. Why is the "Evaluation" component important? 
   a) This is choice one. {C} 
   b) This is choice two. 
   c) This is choice three. 
   d) This is choice four. 

10. Why is the "Analysis" component important? 
   a) This is choice one. 
   b) This is choice two. 
   c) This is choice three. 
   d) This is choice four. {C} 

…to this: 

MC"Why is the ""Description"" component important when reflecting on 
sports?"Choice 1IncorrectChoice 2IncorrectChoice 3
Incorrect{C}Choice 4Incorrect 
MC"Why is the ""Evaluation"" component important?"Choice 1
Incorrect{C}Choice 2IncorrectChoice 3IncorrectChoice 
4Incorrect 
MC"Why is the ""Analysis"" component important?"Choice 1
IncorrectChoice 2IncorrectChoice 3IncorrectChoice 4    
Incorrect{C} 
-- 

Then, a second regex: 
-- 
FIND: 
Incorrect\{C\} 

REPLACE: 
Correct 
-- 

…would change the field for the correct answer.

Re: Bbedit Applescript command

I suspect that either:

 * It is not a text file; Tex-Edit Plus also handles RTF, DOC, and
   AppleWorks files.

 * It is a text file, but the text encoding is not matching what you've
   chosen in BBEdit.

Assuming along the way that its just an app switch.
But not quite so.
Below is text messy but I've narrowed down the issue.
The presenting problem is simply that in one case Indesign
opens the import tagged text dialog and responds. In the other
it misses that's tagged text coming in.

So this Snippet transforms the text and works.

Re: Replacing all spaces in a line, but not the first

[Rick Gordon]

It can be adapted for 2-10 words; it's just along expression.

As you can see, what I provided…

===
FIND:
(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+) \K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))|(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+)
\K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))

CHANGE TO: \1,\2,\3,\4
===

…has one instance of *(\w+)* followed by 2 instances of *(\h\w+)* 
followed by *(?=\h\w+$))* in the segment before the first vertical bar, 
while the segment after the first vertical bar is the same, but contains 
3 instances of *(\h\w+)*.


So what needs to be done is to add more segments, each separated by a 
vertical bar except for the last one (since the vertical bar means "OR").


To clarify, the *(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+) \K* processes and ignores the the 
start of the line…


*2 PLAC*, followed by an optional set of digits preceded by a space, 
followed by a space.


So it's just a question of stacking more instances, one with only one 
*(\h\w+)*, for the shortest possibility, and the rest with yet an 
additional instance of *(\h\w+)* , separating each with a vertical bar.

entitled "Re: Replacing all spaces in a line, but not the first":

Hi Rick

Many thanks for that, it works a treat (within limits)!

When I say that, it works fine for lines where the address is 4 
elements long.


e.g. /2 PLAC 49 Spinney Close Northfield Birmingham/
converts to /2 PLAC 49 Spinney, Close, Northfield, Birmingham/
/
/
However if there are fewer or more elements it ignores the line.
A PLAC entry can be in the range 1 to 10 elements

e.g. / 2 PLAC 46 Norton Crescent Alum Rock Birmingham /has 5 elements 
and is ignored

as is /2 PLAC Kalamzoo Birmingham /which is 3 elements
/
/
I'm beginning to think that I'm asking too much, as a PLAC entry can 
be in the range 1 to 10 elements


_Having just written that, a solution came to mind:_
If I change the Replace statement to/ \1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7,\8,\9,\10 
/that will put superfluous commas in place

e.g. /2 PLAC 33 Barker, Street, Shrewsbury,,, Shropshire/
However, it is a simple matter to remove the extra commas.

I can fix the things like Street, Road etc afterwards, it was the 
initial adding of the commas that was giving me a problem.


Very many thanks for your efforts

That should ignore the first number and handle groups of either 3
or 4
words afterwards. It could be further modified if longer groups are
possible.

It doesn't handle street names in the most intelligent way, as it
will
put a comma after the street name. And if any words had
punctuation in
them (like "St.", or a hyphen), that would require further
modification.

Re: Replacing all spaces in a line, but not the first

[Rick Gordon]

Try this:

===
FIND:
(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+) \K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))|(?:^2 PLAC(?: \d+) 
\K(\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(\h\w+)(?=\h\w+$))


CHANGE TO: \1,\2,\3,\4
===

That should ignore the first number and handle groups of either 3 or 4 
words afterwards. It could be further modified if longer groups are 
possible.


It doesn't handle street names in the most intelligent way, as it will 
put a comma after the street name. And if any words had punctuation in 
them (like "St.", or a hyphen), that would require further modification.

Hi Kaveh

I'm not sure that that would solve it.

It first needs to find the lines beginning with "2 PLAC " and act only 
on those lines.
Replacing "2 PLAC " with something else would give the same issue, it 
would have to find only those lines beginning with our substitute label.


Many thanks for your help.
Think I'll put it on the back burner for now.

Hi Rick,

I spend most of my time editing files that are on Linux boxes where 
I've got ssh access only.  I add this to my .bashrc:


export REMOTEHOST=`echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -d ' ' -f 1`

export HOSTIP=`echo $SSH_CONNECTION | cut -d ' ' -f 3`


function bbedit {


# bbedit won't open a remote file via sftp if it doesn't exist. So, if 
it's a new file


# create it, call bbedit to open, and then kill it.

FCREATED=0

if [ ! -e "$PWD/$1" ]

then

touch "$PWD/$1"

FCREATED=1

fi

ssh derosier@$REMOTEHOST /usr/local/bin/bbedit -c -u --front-window 
"sftp://$USER@$HOSTIP/$PWD/$1;


# The above call will background and return immediately. The file will 
open in bbedit


# but since we've created it, and we don't want to leave it around, we 
kill it right away.


# If the user saves it, it gets recreated and content is saved. If 
not, there's no file,


# so we're cool too. It's a bit odd, but it works.

if [ "$FCREATED" -eq "1" ]

then

rm "$PWD/$1"

fi

}


Then editing a file is as simple as `bbedit somefile.txt` It calls 
back to my Mac and has bbedit open the file via sftp.  Edit, hit cmd-s 
and close the file/window as desired. Easy. Obviously you need ssh 
server enabled and your keys setup to avoid password prompts, but you 
can figure all that out.


Anyway, maybe that helps for you!

Re: BBEdit or BBEdit-Like Editor Running Directly in Terminal

Thanks, Gregory, but what's the advantage of that (except for a mounted 
filesystem) vs using BBEdit opening via FTS/SFTP Server (which is what I 
already do)? Does it give me a BBEdit-like Terminal editor?

 When I run beautysh from the command line, it seems to work fine, just

 Can anyone shed any light on this?

Re: Color scheme vs. color space question

[Rick Yentzer]

Hey Watts, I've seen the same thing happen that you describe. In the past, 
I have copied the correct color value and then adjust visually to get a 
closer match.

Re: Cobalt2 color scheme

[Rick Yentzer]

Here is a first pass at the cobalt2 theme. I didn't go through every 
setting as I don't use some of them day-to-day, but I hope this is a good 
start.

 There are a few color schemes on the BBEdit Extras wiki, although 
 they're mostly using the old, more limited schema from before BBEdit 11, 
 and there's a good chance many of the links are broken. It'd be kind of 
 neat to try and come up with a system for converting TextMate themes to 
 BBEdit color schemes, but it might be a fairly significant undertaking, as 
 their formats are very different.

Re: Cobalt2 color scheme

[Rick Yentzer]

I've converted a couple of themes over the years, but it's been a long 
time. I would be interested in porting some themes over though. I use One 
Dark in PyCharm quite a bit. I'm familiar with Cobalt 2 also. When I get 
some free time, I'll try to make one. I would like to see the Wiki updated 
with some current theme offerings. Perhaps I need to look into that as 
well. :)

Re: Can BBEdit format code like it formats HTML?

[Rick Yentzer]

Hey James,

BBEdit formats only html and css to the best of my knowledge. Like Steve, I 
have used command line utilities if I needed additional formatting for 
other languages. I mostly work with web languages and python/php and have 
my build tools set to format if needed. Hope that helps.

Re: way to exclude folders from Site search, updates and syntax check?

[Rick Yentzer]

This would be a helpful addition to keep from searching in folders one 
would not need to look in. For instance, I would not necessarily need to 
search "node_modules", or "env" folders. The "node_modules" folder can get 
fairly large.

Thanks,
Rick Yentzer

Re: How Can I Search for All Lines NOT Matching a Complex Regex String

[Rick Gordon]

Thanks, Neil. I'd been hoping to avoid scratch documents, but that WOULD 
do the job, so why not?


Thanks again,
Rick Gordon

entitled "Re: How Can I Search for All Lines NOT Matching a Complex Regex

String":


 1. Copy the entire document to a new document.
 2. Use the *add line numbers* command to add line numbers to the
lines in the new document.
 3. Use the *process lines containing *command on the new document,
using your grep pattern, with the *output options* parameter set
to *{ copying to clipboard: false, copying to new document: false,
deleting matched lines: true, reporting results: false }*.

Now your new document should contain just the lines of the original 
document that don't match your grep pattern, prefixed with their 
original line numbers.

How Can I Search for All Lines NOT Matching a Complex Regex String

[Rick Gordon]

I'm trying to AppleScript a solution using BBEdit (using AppleScript 
because there are multi-application communications) where I could flag 
the line number and content of all lines in a document not matching a 
complex regex string.


For instance, if I wanted to flag all lines in document that did *NOT* 
produce a match to:


^[A-Z0-9._%+-]{1,64}@(?:[A-Z0-9-]{1,63}\.){1,125}[A-Z]{2,63},[^,\r]*,[^,\r]*\r

That is, lines not structured as below:

 * a line starting a possibly multi-subdomained email address
 * a comma, optionally followed by some text
 * a second comma, optionally followed by some more text

…how should I proceed? Is there a regex that can match those, or do I 
need a more complex approach. I ultimately want to get a string of the 
unmatched lines (preferably with line numbers) to throw into a dialog.


Thanks.

Your post got me thinking about it so I tried something similar and it 
wasn't working like I "thought" it would.

Per Rich's post it looks like it will not be possible with ctags to go to 
the "definition" of a css class.

Re: Python3 Shebang Woes

[Rick Yentzer]

Paul,

Have you tried to run that file from the command line? I wonder if 
BBEdit is not finding python3 in your $PATH variable.

#!/usr/local/bin/python3
print('Hello World')


I created a test file with my location of python 3 and BBEdit ran the file 
correctly. python 3 is in my $PATH varaible.

In my case, running echo $PATH yields

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin: ...


Thanks,

RY

Re: How do you set the python interpreter BBEdit uses?

[Rick Yentzer]

It's been a while since I've focused on Python but, according I found this 
in the manual on page 335:

Locating Unix tools via PATH
When locating Unix tools for various purposes, BBEdit will honor your 
account’s PATH environment variable (provided it is available and not 
empty). This should result in more predictable outcomes when using 
aftermarket installations of open-source tools as well as for alternative 
installations of tools included with the system (such as Python).

If you modify your PATH, you must quit and relaunch BBEdit for those 
changes to take effect. Note also that if your PATH contains entries 
relative to the current working directory, those entries are not likely to 
work since $PWD is undefined for a GUI application, though absolute paths 
will work.


Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Rick Yentzer

Help with Ctags

[Rick Yentzer]

Hello, I've searched this forum and read several posts on ctags, but I 
cannot get it to work like I'm thinking it should.

The manuals says:

If one or more tags files are found in the same directory as the front 
document, or in any parent directory up the chain from the front document, 
you can employ the ctag information by selecting a word, and either 
choosing Find Definition from the Search menu, or by Control-clicking and 
accessing the Definitions submenu of the contextual menu.

 

My folder structure is:

   - testing-ctags
  - index.html
  - styles.css
  - ctags (generated with bbedit --maketags)
  
I have two simple class names in styles.css that are used in index.html 
like so:

Section heading here
Click me.


The ctags file contains the css classes:

!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to 
lines/
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Universal Ctags Team //
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Universal Ctags /Derived from Exuberant Ctags/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL https://ctags.io/ /official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 0.0.0 /6e5c9a9/
*.btn styles.css 1;" c line:1*
.section-header styles.css 8;" c line:8

But, when I select "btn" in index.html and go to Menu>Search>Find 
Definition, all I get is a "beep" sound and nothing happens.

What am I missing, or doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rick Yentzer

Re: How to jump to a CSS-class from the HTML-file

[Rick Yentzer]

I don't know of a way, but that's not to say it doesn't exist. There are 
much smarter people here than I. Hopefully someone can chime in with a 
workflow for this very thing. This can be done in JetBrains' editors, but I 
still most of my time in BBEdit.

Perhaps an applescript could get us close?

Any takers? :)

Thanks,
Rick Yentzer

Re: Can Completion work with underscores?

[Rick Yentzer]

Hey Ed,

I just tried this with a python document, and Bbedit is offering the 
correct suggestion, and once I hit tab to accept, or enter, it fills in the 
entire name

I defined a simple function with a_really_long_name and it worked.

Could it be your settings under Preferences/Completion:

According to the manual (pg 225) it states:

The Completion preferences control BBEdit’s text completion behaviors, 
including both the completion popup and automatic insertion of delimiters, 
which consist of parentheses, brackets, single and double quotes, *as well 
as various language-specific elements*.

If this doesn't work, send a help request. They're usually pretty quick to 
respond.

Thanks,
Rick

Re: Grep for removing injection spam links in a database or html

One thing to watch for is that in your search, you are looking for curly

be straight.

I tried to modify what you did but  nothing I did seemed to work.
 This is the closest to what you did I thought:I thought that

Can you tell me what I did wrong?  And are spaces ignored in the string?

Re: Dual Monitor Annoyances

[Rick Gordon]

I have also found this to be the case with BBEdit 12.x. And it's 
compounded by my use of separate Mission Control spaces on each desktop, 
so that I am often rummaging through space trying to relocate my Find 
window.


Rick Gordon

I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac.

I keep all my BBEdit windows on the primary window.

However, from time to time the search (and multi-file search) move 
themselves to the second monitor.


This in itself isn't a major problem, however, the result is that I 
can no longer return to the Desktop containing the BBEdit windows by 
using Command + Tab, as BBEdit thinks it is already there, as it has 
found the search dialogs on the second monitor.


Is there any way to stop this?

Re: BBEdit 12.6 Sandboxed?

[Rick Gordon]

What effect will application sandboxing have on the end user in terms of 
file locations, remote editing, or anything else? And what effect does 
the OS level have on whatever restrictions might be incurred?


Perhaps there are really no apparent restrictions in terms of 
functionality, but I've got this idea that there is a 
security/functionality tradeoff with sandboxing.

Re: Display instances of selected text - color highlight

[Rick Gordon]

I agree wth the others that that would be good to be configurable — and 
that the selected item should be separately configurable (at least in 
terms of luminosity value) from the highlighted matched items — 
particularly since the default tends to partially obscure the underlying 
text.


Feature request, please.

The color for indicating matches for the selected text (whether

it's not otherwise configurable.

Edit Source Code with jQuery ??

[Rick Gordon]

I suspect that this is beyond the scope of BBEdit, but has much to do 
with the difficulty in making regex changes to nested and interwoven 
elements in a linear text editor.


How can you do jQuery/JavaScript changes -- regex or other -- working 
within the DOM, and returning source code of the same page? Is there a 
tool that is built for that kind of use, where I don't have to manually 
get the source code of a page after it has been operated on by a JQ/JS 
script.


Sometimes it's so easy to target elements for regex changes so easily 
when working within the DOM, where it can be pretty tricky in linear text.


Thanks.

Possibility of bbedit Terminal Command on SSH Connections

[Rick Gordon]

Is there any way that a bbedit command could be built to run in Terminal 
on a remote system? I realize that it would have to be a different 
creature, since that system would have no knowledge of BBEdit.


But I wondered about something like a command which might cause a file 
to be delivered to the Mac via scp in to a watch folder on the Mac that 
BBEdit could monitor, open, edit, and return the edited file to the host 
system, with a result similar to opening a remote file via SSH on the Mac.


The end result would be an executable that could be stored on the host 
system and run similar to the basic syntax for the command-line 
executable as used on the Mac, such as:


bbedit path-to-file

Does that even make any sense, in term of logistics?

Re: Another Newbie GREP help request...

[Rick Gordon]

Change the .* in your string to [^.]*

(And you don't need the square brackets around \. )

So:
from [A-Z][a-zA-Z][^.]*\.

…which really means:

from followed by a space

a single capital letter, not including diacriticals/accents

a single letter of any case, not including diacriticals/accents

any number (including zero) of non-period characters (which may 
include other punctuation, spaces, line breaks, etc.)


a period

Does that work, or do you need to be more specific?

Actually, checking further, the discretionary line break character in

Re: Newbie Question on Text Wrap

The first line break is encoded as 0A (line feed) and the paragraph 
return is encoded as OD (CR). The discretionary line break encoding 
appears to be non-standard. My hex editor flags them (3 bytes) as "Bytes 
are not valid UTF-8".

This may be problematic if you /need/ your mixture of line breaks.
Yes, that's why I was proposing that some other "non-blessed" character 
like U+0085 might be able to function as a visible line break that does 
not increment the line count.

"Re: Newbie Question on Text Wrap":

Hey Rick,

This funkiness is “normal” for BBEdit, although the behavior is 
reversed from the point where BBEdit started using linefeeds 
internally instead of carriage returns.


If you unzip the attached AppleScript text file and drop it onto a 
blank BBEdit window set for UTF8 and Unix (LF), you'll see the 
behavior in action.


This happens because the first line break is a newline character 
instead of a carriage return.


The behavior will be different if the first line break is a carriage 
return and subsequent text contains one or more linefeeds.


The quick fix is to run “Normalize Line Endings” in the Text menu.

This may be problematic if you /need/ your mixture of line breaks.

I /think/ your success with BBEdit 9.x is /coincidental/ to the first 
line break in the text, and I'm curious to know whether it's a LF or a CR.

Chris

Re: Newbie Question on Text Wrap

[Rick Gordon]

Since the linked images are based on a different font setting for the 
two version of BBEdit, I just set the font in v9.3.1 to the same one as 
in 12.1.2 -- Luxo Mono Bold 13.


But the breaks remain different between the two versions: with the 
InDesign paragraph return processed as a line break in v9.3.1 and as an 
upside-down question mark with no line break in 12 ,1,2.

I then copied the text frame content, and pasted it into both BBEdit

Re: Character That Shows As Vertical Space But Is Within Paragraph Boundaries

[Rick Gordon]

It's already set to soft wrap at window width, and "Use hard lines in 
soft-wrapped views" is enabled.


U+0085 shows as an upside-down question mark with no line break. If 
there were a preference available to show it with a line break, that 
would solve it.


Or a preference that would modify the behavior of the internal 
equalization of \n and \r.


I can't set up an example now, but could later.

I ask this because there are times when it is more convenient to deal

Does BBEdit support a character which would show as vertical space, 
but will be parsed as an inter-paragraph character? Something like a 
soft return (or more accurately, a line break, so that it would be 
part of the same line number), but it seems that \n and \r are dealt 
with interchangeably.


Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline> also lists:

 * NEL (Next Line: U+0085)
 * LS (Line Separator: U+2028)
 * PS (Paragraph Separator: U+2029)

… but none of these produce a new line effect.

I just saw a mistake in my initial post, so this is just to acknowledge

Where I said "using font-face or font-family," I should have said "using

by which you can define font-family along with other attributes such as

Re: HTML authoring - specifying a font

[Rick Gordon]

The essential strategy, which has been the key factor in the improvement 
of our web experience in recent years (along with more 
standards-compliant browsers) is this:


You should not clutter up your HTML with any code affecting the way it 
looks, except to add classes or id's to the HTML elements which are 
defined in your CSS document(s) — ideally, not even to use inline CSS.

Re: HTML authoring - specifying a font

[Rick Gordon]

Global style definitions go more commonly in the , though 
styles can be added in the body section.


It's most common though to have the style sheet (or sometimes multiple 
style sheets) as separate documents which are linked with a line such as:



(Other attributes, such as id and media can also be included.)

Re: HTML authoring - specifying a font

[Rick Gordon]

Technically, you could, but it's considered very bad practice in any to 
use any font tags in HTML. And font tags have been deprecated for 
years.  You should always assign fonts (and, as much as possible, any 
code affecting presentation) in CSS, and you can assign them to the body 
element there.


The one possible consideration where it might be considered acceptable 
is in HTML email, but even there, you should assign it as CSS (using 
font-face or font-family).


Don't do it!

Apologies if I'm totally wrong on what you are trying to achieve, but

My intention is simply to have an operation that I can run on target 
strings (probably mostly code, maybe even a regex string that I want to 
interpret literally) so that I can use the result as a regex search 
string, meaning what it's supposed to.


I'm not sure that I actually need anything more than what I've already

Like Perl, PCRE has consistent escaping rules: any non-alpha-numeric character

Re: HTML5 support

FROM
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5/Introduction_to_HTML5#Declaring_that_the_document_contains_HTML5_mark-up_with_the_HTML5_doctype

*Declaring that the document contains HTML5 mark-up with the HTML5 doctype
*
The doctype for HTML5 is very simple. To indicate that your HTML content 
uses HTML5, simply use:




Doing so will cause even browsers that don't presently support HTML5 to 
enter into standards mode, which means that they'll interpret the 
long-established parts of HTML in an HTML5-compliant way while ignoring 
the new features of HTML5 they don't support.


This is much simpler than the former doctypes, and shorter, making it 
easier to remember and reducing the amount of bytes that must be downloaded.

So what I'm wondering is how to determine how many addresses in this

I'd also be interested to know what other approaches I might consider 
for trimming a list of one email address per line, removing addresses 
from a list of invalid or unsubscribed addresses.



Hey Rick,

Don't mess with find/replace — use a text-filter.

Here are several options (although I'd probably go with the Perl).

(Make sure you have backups before testing any given solution.)



*NOTE* - in the sed filters you need to escape any special characters 
in the email address, and the easiest way to do that is to use Cmd-E 
to enter it into BBEdit's Find dialog, open the dialog, and copy it 
out again.




This will leave a hole everywhere a deletion is made, so you can see them.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sed -E '
s!smitj1234@students\.uwc\.edu!!g
s!jane\.smith@uwc\.edu!!g
'



If you have a one per line listing of email addresses then this will 
delete the given line.



#!/usr/bin/env bash

sed -E '
/smitj1234@students\.uwc\.edu/d
/jane\.smith@uwc\.edu/d
'



Simplest — No escaping needed:



If you want to delete a list of literal email address strings sourced 
from a “delete file” in the currently open BBEdit window:


#!/usr/bin/env bash

emailsToRemoveFilePath=~/'Downloads/Email Address to Remove.txt'
grep-Fvxf "$emailsToRemoveFilePath"

** You can use this same command with a file instead of a window, but 
you have to run the filter as a script rather than as a text-filter.




Best?  Certainly the fastest for big files.

NOTE - the single quotes in the path strings.  If you path has any 
spaces in it you either have to quote it or escape the spaces.  I find 
quoted paths much easier to read.




#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw

my $validEmails = glob("~/'Downloads/Valid Email Addresses.txt'");
my $invalidEmails = glob("~/'Downloads/Invalid Email Addresses.txt'");


# Open the files.
openF1 , "$validEmails"or die "Cant open : $! \n";
openF2 , "$invalidEmails"or die "Cant open : $! \n";

# Create the hash key with each line of the invalid items file.
while ( ) {
chomp;
$file{$_}='';
}

# Print the line from the valid emails file — IF key does not exist in 
the hash.

while ( )  {
chomp ;
print $_ , "\n"   unless(exists ( $file{$_} ) ) ;
}



You can run the above Perl script via Cmd-R and get non-destructive 
output.


OR — you can run it as a text filter ON the valid email address file 
(in the front BBEdit window).

Hey Rick,

Don't mess with find/replace — use a text-filter.

Here are several options (although I'd probably go with the Perl).

(Make sure you have backups before testing any given solution.)



*NOTE* - in the sed filters you need to escape any special characters 
in the email address, and the easiest way to do that is to use Cmd-E 
to enter it into BBEdit's Find dialog, open the dialog, and copy it 
out again.




This will leave a hole everywhere a deletion is made, so you can see them.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sed -E '
s!smitj1234@students\.uwc\.edu!!g
s!jane\.smith@uwc\.edu!!g
'



If you have a one per line listing of email addresses then this will 
delete the given line.



#!/usr/bin/env bash

sed -E '
/smitj1234@students\.uwc\.edu/d
/jane\.smith@uwc\.edu/d
'



Simplest — No escaping needed:



If you want to delete a list of literal email address strings sourced 
from a “delete file” in the currently open BBEdit window:


#!/usr/bin/env bash

emailsToRemoveFilePath=~/'Downloads/Email Address to Remove.txt'
grep-Fvxf "$emailsToRemoveFilePath"

** You can use this same command with a file instead of a window, but 
you have to run the filter as a script rather than as a text-filter.




Best?  Certainly the fastest for big files.

NOTE - the single quotes in the path strings.  If you path has any 
spaces in it you either have to quote it or escape the spaces.  I find

#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw

my $validEmails = glob("~/'Downloads/Valid Email Addresses.txt'");
my $invalidEmails = glob("~/'Downloads/Invalid Email Addresses.txt'");

Max Character Length of Search String / Trimming Unsubscribed Addresses from List

[Rick Gordon]

I was considering do a large search string like this:

^(?:user1@host1.domain1|user2@host2.domain2|user3@host3.domain3)\r

…but with a large number of email addresses culled from unsubscribe or 
bounce lists, as a means of removing them from our valid subscribers' lists.


So what I'm wondering is how to determine how many addresses in this OR 
formation I could chain before making my search string get too long.


I'd also be interested to know what other approaches I might consider 
for trimming a list of one email address per line, removing addresses 
from a list of invalid or unsubscribed addresses.

Keeping window width when toggling sidebar

[Rick Yentzer]

I would like for the toggling of the sidebar to not affect the width of the 
window. I'd prefer the sidebar and content area to use the same window 
width. I typically use an app to set my window sizes for BBEdit, iTerm, and 
Chrome. I have them close together so I can easily see each while I'm 
working. But this layout of windows and apps always gets messed up when 
showing or hiding the sidebar of BBEdit because it then obscures one of the 
other app's windows.

Is there a preference for this behavior?

Thanks,
Ric

Re: minify css

This is bad advice.

Javascript is also just text, but the developer should always look for ways 
to improve site loading speed and performance. Minification of CSS and JS 
and even HTML is standard within the web development industry.

That way lies madness. :-) Dropbox does not publish the details of

I realize it's an inconvenience, and I'm sorry - but we have provided

Re: Sort email addresses by domain name...

[Rick Gordon]

Great! That was new to me, too. (Much better than my suggestion.)

Re: Sort an email list by domain name...

[Rick Gordon]

Try something like this:

   FIND:
   ^(.+?@)(\S+)

   [1st capture group is start of line up through first @ sign; 2nd is
   a run of characters without spaces after the @.]

   CHANGE TO:
   %%\2%%%\1\2

   [Add the 2nd group to the front of the line, preceded by %% and
   followed by %%%. The choice of delimiters is inconsequential, as
   long as it's something not otherwise found.]

   ---

   Then sort the lines.

   ---

   Then remove the part you added in front, including the delimiters:

   FIND:
   %%.+?%%%

   CHANGE TO:

   [an empty string]

Re: [ANN] BBEdit 11.6 (3939) pre-release

[Rick Yentzer]

After updating to this version, when I click on an html file in the 
Document Drawer, it now opens the file in my default browser instead of 
BBEdit. I now have to right-click the document and select "Open as 
Selection". I did not have this behavior in the previous version.

Thanks,
Rick

Re: Emmet support

[Rick Yentzer]

Hey Maarten, 

I was wondering if you had any luck with this? I've used BBEdit for years 
and at my current job I use and IDE with Emmet. Emmet is so ingrained in my 
workflow that it's hard to work around without a mental reset, and I want 
to go back to just BBEdit.

I've thought about porting some of Emmet's features to TextExpander but I 
would lose some of it features, but I could live with that.

I'll be reading up on the article Rich posted.

Thanks,
Rick

Reopen Docs that Were Open at Last Quit Without Confirmation Dialog

[Rick Gordon]

Is there a setting that will allow "Reopen documents that were open at 
last quit" without needing to dismiss a confirmation dialog? That 
preference, along with its two sub-categories are all enabled in the 
Application tab of Preferences.


My current workflow choice is always to accept that dialog query.

Re: Email Address From BBEdit List Crashes Mail App

[Rick Gordon]

FWIW, using Postbox 3.x and POP delivery, I have no problem with his emails.

Dear BBEdit list friends,

Let me start by saying that it is *not* my intention to start anything 
personal here, and I hope that the person who owns this particular 
email address does not take my comments as an attack on their person, 
because that is most certainly *not* the case. However, for those of 
you who likewise use OS X's default Mail app email client, I must ask 
you the following question:


Does the following email address cause you any problems when you click 
on an incoming message which contains this address?


@lbutlr <krem...@kreme.com <mailto:krem...@kreme.com>>

In my case, for at least weeks now -- and perhaps for months now -- 
whenever I click on a new incoming message from the BBEdit list which 
contains that address, it immediately crashes Mail app without fail. I 
mean every single time.


Furthermore, if I select that message in order to send it to the 
trash, it likewise crashes Mail app.


The *ONLY* way in which I can get rid of such troublesome messages is 
by *not* selecting them at all, and by *not* reading them at all, but 
simply by right-clicking them, and selecting the "delete" option in 
the contextual menu.


Please note that this crashing problem *ONLY* occurs with messages 
that contain that particular email address.


Again, I do *not* know, and have *never* communicated with the person 
who owns said email address, so please do *not* interpret my words 
here as a judgment of their character, because that is most certainly 
*not* the case. He or she may not even know that this is happening.


Nevertheless, being as these crashes of the Mail app have been 
occurring for so long now, I thought that I should bring it up 
publicly here on the list, in order to determine if anyone else on 
this list is experiencing the same thing as I am.


Thanks for listening.
