Applescript can call a bash commandline statement. U can make up a statement like rm fullpath/*.jpg On Feb 26, 2017 10:12 PM, "Adrian Manea" wrote: > OK, I seem to have sorted out the filePath part, but apparently > AppleScript does not take many extensions with "or"?

How to Undo Multi-File Find and Replace

I kind of suspect what I am going to be told, but let me ask anyway with a glimmer of hope. I have just spent a few hours cleaning up the HTML code in about 1256 docs in one of my virtual host’s directories. I just did a final multi-file find and replace, and then realized when I got a broken

Re: Help With Grep Pattern

Hello Jean-Christophe, Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it. Using that grep pattern found only ONE relative URL in almost 6,000 HTML docs. Considering how much I have used BBEdit’s multi-file find and replace feature to make global changes to my primary virtual host over the past

Script for doing stuff in current file's folder

OK, I'm pretty sure this is an easy one, but since I have close to zero experience with AppleScript, I have to ask: Could anyone please help me with a script that gets the path to the containing folder of the current (open, frontmost) text file of BBEdit? Concrete use: I would then add to the

Re: Script for doing stuff in current file's folder

Right... I finally got it. It's much more than I described, but it covers all of my needs, since sometimes I edit the same file today with Sublime, tomorrow with BBEdit. :) Here's the script: *tell* *application* "BBEdit" *set* w *to* *text window* 1 *set* the_file *to* *file* *of* active

Re: Script for doing stuff in current file's folder

OK, I seem to have sorted out the filePath part, but apparently AppleScript does not take many extensions with "or"? Or am I doing something wrong? Script: *tell* *application* "BBEdit" *set* w *to* *text window* 1 *set* the_file *to* *file* *of* active document *of* w *as* *text* -- set

Help With Grep Pattern

Hello again, I want to convert all of my relative URLs to absolute URLs. The problem is that I do not know where the remaining relative URLs are located in my virtual host's folder. I have been reading the grep patterns section of the BBEdit manual, but I still haven't quite understood how to

Normally relative links are a better way to run a site — you can move pages to a different host, put them in sub-directories, etc., without changing the HTML. > >> And I'd replace with: >> >> https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/\1 >> >> Jean-Christophe -- This is the BBEdit Talk public

That was my thought, but looks like OP managed to change text which varied for each link, to a fixed string in all the files :[ > On 2017-02-27, at 10:39, Jean-Christophe Helary > wrote: > > You can use a regex to fix the broken links :) There's plenty of

Re: Help With Grep Pattern

Hello Tom, Thank you very much for that explanation. Yes, it is very helpful and will help me to write more complex patterns. Earlier this morning I was looking through the greg section of the BBEdit manual, trying to find what I was referring to as a “not operator”. I even checked online,

Re: How to Undo Multi-File Find and Replace

Hello folks, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I have been very sick and had to go to bed. At any rate, I just bit the bullet and redid everything from scratch using backup copies of the original 1256 files. To provide more details, the link that I broke in each of those
