This appears to works well! Thanks so much! I'll write in again after next

Re: insert word page next to page #s

[Sam Hathaway]

Thanks for the sample. It looks sometimes the page number is on its own 
line, and sometimes it’s at the end of a line of text. There’s only 
one newline after it (not two as in your previous sample) and either a 
newline or a space before it. So try this:


Find: `[\r ](\d+)\r`
Replace: `\rPage \1\r`
Grep: `on`

PDFs are pretty hard to convert to plain text reliably because PDF is a 
display language and doesn’t really separate content from layout. If 
you can get your material in TEXT or HTML format you might have more 
luck.


Hope this helps!

Re: insert word page next to page #s

[bo]

New Effort Oct 29, Please: 

It so happens that there are multiple varieties of “plain text”.  Some 
versions remove all line breaks, from pasted text. Some versions remove the 
line break preceding a page break but retain the line break following the 
page break.

I (just now) installed an AppStore  PDF-to-PlainText App which keeps both 
line breaks. It places  line breaks before the page numbers as well as 
after the page numbers. Could this work better? Line breaks before and 
after being more distinctive. 

I tried your suggest BBEdit inputs:
Find: \r\r(\d+)\r\r
Replace: \r\rpage \1\r\r

With the new, trial, plain-text, this input gives the BBEdit-message:
Not Found

Can this input please be modified to handle line breaks before and aft?

Thanks for your consideration. ~bo

I generally use Preview with select-all, copy and then paste into other 
apps. I notice your use of the word 'extract'. I only know of copy-paste 
unless there is a "save as" or "export" option in an app.  I also tried 
paste into Mac's Text Editor, normally in Plain Text mode which strips RFT, 
etc.,..   I also tried Acrobat without expected results and scanned the 
menus and Help to see if the word "extract" .was a special method. 

I'm on OS X 10.12.3. using a 2011 MacBook.  IK also tried re-starting, as 
that helps sometimes with my other apps.

Thanks for your efforts.

Since PDF is a binary file format, you must use an application 
which understands that format (such as Preview.app or Adobe 
Reader) to display and/or extract the contents of any PDF file, 
as BBEdit is not capable of doing so on its own.


  [Short take: BBEdit is a text editor, not a PDF viewer. :-) ]

However, once you have extracted content from a PDF file, you 
can then transfer that content to another app.


For instance, if you have a PDF which contains text, you can 
open that PDF in Preview.app, then select & copy some (or all) 
of its contents, and paste the copied text into a BBEdit document.

Thanks, I tried copy-pasting your inputs into the Find windows, along with

Re: insert word page next to page #s

I assume you’ve already converted the PDF to plain text in order to 
get it into BBEdit. (If not you have bigger problems.)


Would this work?

Find: `\r\r(\d+)\r\r`
Replace: `\r\rpage \1\r\r`

Thanks.
