Need a little GREP help

[Michael Heth]

Say Folks,

Have been trying to get my head around GREP for many years and never quite get it.

I've asked for help before and folks were able to give me the cryptic code to get my little task in the done column.

So, I have a list with over 450 lines like these

1995 DUCATI M600 Monster
1995 DUCATI M900 Monster
1995 DUCATI Superbike 748 Biposto / SP
1995 DUCATI Superbike 916 Biposto / Senna

and I need them to end up like this

<option value="1995 DUCATI M600 Monster" >1995 DUCATI M600 Monster</option>
<option value="1995 DUCATI M900 Monster" >1995 DUCATI M900 Monster</option>
<option value="1995 DUCATI Superbike 748 Biposto / SP" >1995 DUCATI Superbike 748 Biposto / SP</option>
<option value="1995 DUCATI Superbike 916 Biposto / Senna" >1995 DUCATI Superbike 916 Biposto / Senna</option>

Any tips.help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

M./

Thanks much, worked like a champ.

I’ll have to try and wade through the docs on GREP again and see if it catches this time.

Or, Or,

The folks at BB could do a 5 minute YT video showing various examples of common tasks and then billions of BBEdit users would all get a leg up.

Just sayin’

Thanks again.

Hi Michael

Glad it worked. It's actually very easy once you get the knack. I have been meaning to do some video tutorials so thanks for the prompt. Feel free to remind me again. No problem if you want to email privately. 

Regards
Kaveh
