Here's a screen shot to illustrate. (Top tip: the preferences
are searchable as well.)

Enjoy,

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

Rich shared a wonderful top tip: the preferences are searchable as well.

Has anyone found a way to search previous searches (ideally filtering by “Search” vs. “Grep”)?

Clicking on the history button provides a list that’s not trivial to navigate:

Thanks.

I don't know about searching the past searches, but typing the first couple of letters navigates the list.

Barbara:

Nice! This is very helpful and a step in the right direction. 

I look forward to discovering more steps in the journey to learning about more and more BBEdit features.

Thank you for the tip.

I also recommend reading through the Expert Preferences in the online help. It gives lots of how-to info on what you can already do in the product, along with options for changing behaviors that you can't access through the UI.

Rich will probably give me some grief but here is what I did, in case my fellow BBEdit users might find this useful.

Perhaps an enterprising person will improve my grep patterns and will be kind enough to build a script ;-)

1) Open a COPY of this file with BBEdit. 

   Whatever you do, BE SURE not to modify the original file.

   Your most recent searches might not be included, do to system cache management: 

   /Users/alfredo/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist

2) To get the part that I highlighted for ALL searches you have done,

   do a grep search along these lines and “Find All”:

   <date>.*</date>\n\s*<key>SearchString</key>\n\s*<string>.*</string>

   

   

3) Select all the results:

   

4) Copy these results and create a new BBEdit file with the clipboard. You’ll get something like this:

5) Do a grep search and replace along these lines and “Replace All”:

   Find: ~/Library/.*<date>(.*)</date>\n\s*<key>SearchString</key>\n\s*<string>(.*)</string>

                           ^^^^                                                ^^^^

                           subgroup \1                                         subgroup \2                            

   Replace: \1  \2

   (choose whatever separation you prefer between the dates in “\1” and your search strings in “\2”)

   You’ll get something like this:

   

6) If you want to have your most recent searches at the top, sort lines inversely:

   

   

Enjoy.

Hey Alfredo,

Here's a live working solution.

It's a bit quick and dirty, so the formatting isn't as precise as I'd like – but I don't have time to do better right now.

I've provided the source and a compiled AppleScript which can be opened and run with the Script Editor.app (or Script Debugger -- SD-Lite is now free).

Install here:

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/

Give it a keyboard shortcut and go-to-town.

Best Regards,

Chris

Hey Chris,

Cool. I’ll dive into it during the weekend.

Thanks!

Hey Alfredo,

This is better and less of a hack.

It produces a table, and it puts a regex in line one that will find each bracketed string (and selects it).

Cmd-Shift-E to enter the regular expression into the Find dialog behind the scenes.

Cmd-G to find the next string.

I've provided the source text and a compiled AppleScript.
