This chart is not an exhaustive listing of BBEdit’s features. In human years, BBEdit turns well over 30 and with that age comes wisdom.This chart shows what you get when you buy a BBEdit license, compared to the features available when you use BBEdit without a license after the 30-day evaluation period.Īll of the highlighted features are available during the initial 30-day evaluation period. Besides having become better at following Apple’s luminance schemes, the venerable text editor now offers a vastly simpler way to create Grep patterns, a Grep cheat sheet and the ability to create rectangular selections in documents with Soft Wrap Text set to active. I’m not a coder, not even with CSS or HTML anymore, but I do regularly search for words and sentences even that you can’t find by simply looking for the actual characters. In other words, I search for patterns and BBEdit has always been a great help with that. In the past, though, I had to re-adjust myself to using Grep which is a patterns lookup language that I am sure is logical from a coder’s perspective but not mine and a lot of people like me. Setting up a Grep pattern took a lot of time and sometimes I just couldn’t make one work at all.Įnter BBEdit 13’s Grep Cheat Sheet. This mnemonic apparatus appears as a popup menu button in the Find, Multi-File Search, and Pattern Playground windows. It also works within the “Process Lines Containing”, “Process Duplicates”, and “Sort Lines” dialogue boxes. The menu provides some common Grep pattern idioms and brief descriptions and the best part is that it allows you to choose one that will then literally be inserted into the pattern you already figured out and select it. In the Find and Multi-File Search windows, choosing an item from the cheat sheet also turns on the “Grep” option. That’s a first method BBEdit 13 uses to make Grep pattern creation better - as in more accurate and faster. The second way is the so-called “Pattern Playground” window. That one lets you interactively experiment with the behaviour of Grep patterns. ![]() It makes creating complicated patterns much less a trial-and-error affair, because you can see exactly what will match and how that works. ![]()
