So, to restate my question in a more clear way... (thanks for your patience Haris) I know nothing about programming...
I'm trying to run a perl search/replace command via a 'bundle command'. I've entered the following into the 'Edit Command' box:
perl -pe ' s/^([A-Z]+.*[A-Z]*\s*)\n((.+))\n(.+)$/\n\n\t\t\t\t$1\n\t\t\t$2\n\n $3/g; '
I've set the input to 'Entire Document' and the output to 'Create New Document'.
But when I run the command none of the tabs or newlines I've specified in the replace section of the command are applied to the text in question. I've also tried the command with the 'e' option at the end which, as far as I can tell, is supposed to evaluate the right side of the search/replace command as regex... but it's not working.
Any help is appreciated.
Just so you know, I'm trying to write a set of commands that will transform the plai-text output from Final Draft when exporting a screenplay. If I can get this working then I can bring all my scripts over to TextMate.
As an example, this: ----------------- OLIVER (I want to tell you) I've got things to say. Dr. Robert ----------------- should look like this: ---------------------------
OLIVER (I want to tell you) I've got things to say.
Dr. Robert ---------------------------
