Pipe list of files into new bbprojectd

[Charlie Garrison]

Good evening,

I've got a custom grep/ls script which outputs a list of matching files, which I want to use as contents of a new project. The list is quite long (too long to pass as command args), so using bbedit --project won't work. Is there some other way to pipe a list of file paths to bbedit so they become items in the project?

What I really want is a way to Multi-File Search all the files. I can do it using bbfind but I prefer something within BBEdit UI. So I thought about creating a project with all the files, and I can use that as 'search in' target in search dialog.

The count of files to search is over 10,000.
Using bbedit --project prints error -bash: /usr/local/bin/bbedit: Argument list too long

-cng
