The script
• reads the document line by line,
• surrounds all (~g) occurrences of "myword" (case-insensitive ~i) with curly
brackets,
• prints the line.
Instructions:
Save the script in the Text Filters folder as ***.pl
( Terminal:— cd; open Library/Application\ Support/BBedit/Text* )
Open the palette: Menu: Window::Palettes::Text Filters
Select the script and set an optional keyboard shortcut
With your document frontmost, run the script
You can undo the action of the UNIX filter but…
… to see the result without altering the doc, run the script from the Scripts
folder+palette

Well, not for you, maybe!
Thanks! That's probably something simple enough that I can build on it, too!

Hey Tj,
That's not overly difficult using a bit of AppleScript.

Easiest way to replace all matches
Assume a 'regular' text file.
I'd like to be able to select a word, press a key, and have all instances
of that word be surrounded by {brackets}.
For this example, the words would all be names so you would not need worry
about "What if the word is {and} but the word "br{and}s" also exists?
I could hack this together with Keyboard Maestro but I wondered if there
was a more native way to accomplish this
Thanks for your help!
