Also, check out the Pattern Playground on the Search menu. Being able to see 
what BBEdit is matching as you change the search pattern really helps narrow in 
on how to make it work for your actual data.

Take the time to look at the manual. It is extremely well written.

In fact, I had the exact same questions back in 96 when I first used BBedit, 
and I decided to read the manual and everything I know about regular 
expressions now pretty much comes from it.

So just take one or two hours to check it. Play with the search function and 
see what you can do by yourself.

Search:

there is a space at the beginning of the search string

Help for search & replace with Grep

[mrcmrc]

Hi,
someone may help me? Usually I can do some very simple replacements, but I 
don't have great experience with Grep syntax...

I have a block of text like this:

Miles Davis – trumpet
John Coltrane – tenor saxophone
Red Garland – piano
Paul Chambers – double bass
Philly Joe Jones – drumset

and wish to get this:

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones

Thanks for any help!
