Hi,
I was wondering if there's an easy to to prefix or suffix selected lines with a string.
Anyone who has used BBEdit will know what I am taking about.
I assume there is a way to do this, but I was hoping to avoid regular expressions other overly complex gyrations.
While the aforementioned column selection will do the trick for the prefixing, suffixing may be tricker since the lines may not be equally long.
To deal with that, you can highlight the lines you want to suffix and hit cmd-opt-a and start typing away.
Btw, the cmd-opt-a is the shortcut to "Text > Edit Each Line in Selection"
Hope that helps, -steve
