TextMate ain't far off but I still switch to BBEdit for complicated searches and for things like sorting lines,
Bundles -> Text -> Sorting
Hurm... This is better than BBEdit!
processing duplicate lines,
- Select the lines
- Call up Filter Through Command...
- Set input to Selection and output to Replace Selection
- Enter a command of: uniq
- Push Execute
Might have to make a macro or applescript out of this...
and processing lines containing certain patterns.
Regular expressions are your friend. ;)
Yes, they are but, in this case, BBEdit is better. I can send the matches to a new document and delete 'em from the original document at the same time. This is useful for when I'm needing to quickly weed out multiple sets of data and put each set into separate files for easier processing by other apps/scripts.
