Allan,
Thanks for replying to this.
My recommendation would be to have the multi-lines copied to the clipboard, the user could cut out whatever they didn't want once they paste it into a new document.
I was able to select (highlighted blue), when I hit Command + A, so when that happened I assumed I was in business to get all the lines on my clipboard in one fell swoop, which is what I wanted.
Thanks for the tip on grep, I'll give that a shot. :)
-Kevin

Does anyone know if you can save your search results (in Find in Project dialog), as a text file?
You can't. Coincidentally I had (the first) feature request for this less than a month ago.
I tried selecting items in the dialog and copy and pasting into a textmate document, but that doesn't work.
I was considering making Edit → Copy with focus on the search results control work for this. My fear was the discoverability, but it seems you would have found it, so likely I will proceed along that path :)
Still not sure exactly what part of the results the user would expect to get on the clipboard though. Would you want the entire line of each match (which would be lines, plural, for multi-line searches)?
It would be nice to get my results into it's own file. My situation is that there are many instances of a particular email address(es) in some webforms, and I'd like to give a nice list (like the dialog has) to someone.
For now you can use find + grep in Terminal to produce the results, e.g.:
find ~/MyProject -name '*.html' -exec grep 'foo@bar.com' '{}' \;You can give -H to grep to also output the file name, if you need it.
