Well, I tried the example for prefixing line by column and basically after several tries couldn't get it to work. I don't think I could select the 0 length column.
I was really hoping the such a feature prefix lines would be a non brainer, but I guess it isn't.
Suffixing lines work pretty easily however.
I wonder how much work would be involved to write a bundle that offered this functionality. I suspect too much or some one would have done it already.
Thanks again for the replies.

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
