Hey Brian,

You're welcome.

Just for giggles here are a couple of text-filters.

A simple one-liner `sed` script to remove all horizontal whitespace.

sed -E 's![[:blank:]]+!!g'

Another simple `sed` script to remove all horizontal whitespace and blank lines.

# Tags: @Remove, @Leading, @Trailing, @Whitespace, @Delete, @Blank, @Lines

sed -En '
s![[:blank:]]+!!g
/^$/d
p
'

BBEdit text-filters operate on the selection if there is one, otherwise they 
operate on the whole front document.

Text filters are installed here:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/

Text filters are run from:

BBEdit Menu Bar > Text > Apply Text Filter > 

And of course you can give them keyboard shortcuts in BBEdit's Menus & 
Shortcuts preferences.

Re: Using a Text Factory to remove white space

If you really want all white space (tabs, newlines, etc) then use "\s+" as 
the search pattern.

This is such a fast search and replace, I'd probably use the usual dialog 
or write a quick perl or shell script for it.

Hey Brian,

Open a new Text Factory.

Leave the target as (nothing to process)

Select “Replace All”

Select “Options”

Turn on “grep”

Search for:

[[:blank:]]+

Replace with:

Nothing

Save it here:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/

Personally I subcategorize Text Filters like so:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text 
Filters/Textfactories/removeHorizontalWhitespace.textfactory

Run the Text Factory from the menu Text > Apply Text Filter > [Your Text 
Factory], or give it a keyboard shortcut in the BBEdit prefs.

Personally I'd rather use AppleScript than a Text Factory, because it's faster 
– and I have more control.
