The issue isn’t that they aren’t showing up. Log entries, like I said, are a whole page long. My goal was to erase them between iterations/code editing. Going to the console and clearing every time is like tying my shoes up every 15 seconds. In any case, the filewatcher gem

Hi Sam. Thanks for the input. Ya this is for appending to config files for FreeBSD setup. So it’s all manually inserted. I thought I’d be targeting current lines to target files (hence the syntax) and thought I’d find a way of modifying these lines using BBEdit. As Patrick has

Hi there. The problem isn't about what filter to apply. I know the filter (Prefix/Postfix). I was just unclear about how to apply the filter with the window open, to document 1 in BBedit. The solution was just to save the executable and call it in the menu or Filters window. Cheers On
