I discovered Grep about ten days ago. Grep combined with BBEdit gives fantastic results! And I'm just starting to learn this new language.
Congratulations to the team of developers who have successfully integrated Grep into BBEdit.

Hi Lionel

You will not regret having discovered Grep. And the implementation in BBEdit is wonderful. I am thinking of starting some online tutorials on Grep and will let you know. in the meantime happy to answer any questions even if you want to email me offline, as I need some practice in teaching. ;-)

Also useful in combination is the "Extract" feature in the search and replace, allowing you to quickly see all matching items in a new document. 

Finally, this site I find very useful.

Good luck.

Regards
Kaveh

You may find the Pattern Playground on the search menu to be useful, as well. :-)

Thanks Kaveh. I will be among the first to use the online tutorial.

I just discovered the pattern playground. How could I do without it? ;-)

I for one consider its Grep support, which is essentially identical to Perl
regexes with all their advanced features, to be one of the main killer features
of BBEdit, a reason to use BBEdit just because it has that, and even more so
when combined with its multi-file search and replace abilities. -- Darren Duncan
