Scripting Line Prefix
Hey Folks, Jeeze. It's been a long time since I seriously scripted BBEdit. In this case I want to prefix every line in the front document. This works fine: tell application BBEdit tell front text document set before first word of line 3 to • end tell end tell This doesn't: tell application BBEdit set before first word of every line of front text document to • end tell This does the job perfectly: tell application BBEdit tell front text document add prefix ( lines 1 thru -1 ) prefix • end tell end tell And you can loop through or do a find/replace of course. All this discovered, and I still feel like I'm missing something. Any more useful magic?

Re: Scripting Line Prefix
Chris~ Why not use a simple grep to do it for you? This works for me: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Find: (^.+) Replace: •\1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cheers, ~Semper Fi, Mac! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = On Oct 29, 2009, at 11:44 PM, Christopher Stone wrote: Hey Folks, Jeeze.

I did mention that possibility, and this can be easily scripted as well.

tell application BBEdit
tell front text document
replace ^ using url = searching in it ¬
options {search mode:grep, showing results:false} with
saving
end tell
end tell

I actually did this via script, and that's the point of the exercise.
tell application BBEdit
tell front text document
add prefix (lines 1 thru -1) prefix url =
end tell
end tell
I'm starting to re-learn how to script BBEdit, and this step is a
small part of a more complex filter I'm building. That filter is
bound to a keyboard shortcut and preprocesses an html file for use
with curl. Eventually I'll probably move to a Perl filter, but my
Perl skills are quite rudimentary at the moment.
On the Perl topic does anyone have recommendations for online
resources and books for a rank beginner?
Thanks.

Get the Camel Book from O'Reilly (the publisher). I've forgotten the actual (real) title of the Camel Book, but if you go to the O'Reilly web site and search for Perl, you'll come up with several good choices. --Sent from the iPhone of Semper Fidelis On Oct 30, 2009, at 13:42, Christopher Stone ccstone1...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Guys, I'm starting to re-learn how to script BBEdit, and this step is a small part of a more complex filter I'm building.
