When I try to use this from Safari, Safari hangs (expected) but nothing happens in TextMate. I used to use this feature often, but as another user on my machine. I've since deleted that user, so I can't comment as to whether or not it would still work in that account.
Any ideas on how to fix things so they work again?
Best, Eric

hmm... so it seems the service is present, but just doesn't launch TextMate?
My first thought was that the service was installed for the user you deleted. You can install it in either ~/Library/Services or /Library/Services.
You can check if the service was actually started using Activity Monitor, if you're using 1.1 of the service, the process name is TextMate Service. And I assume you know how to check if TextMate was running ;)
Did you try rebooting or was this a fast user switch? I wouldn't be surprised if the latter would cause problems.
Turns out the service wasn't being started, even though it showed up in the Services menu. I re-installed the bundle in my local Library/Services folder and that seemed to clear everything up.
It's actually possible that the service *was* installed for the user I deleted, which explains why it still showed up. I don't think I've rebooted my machine since I deleted that user (weeks ago now).
Thanks, Eric

Hello
I just found out about TextMate and would like to test it for use in my work. My main need is of a fast text editor to edit large text files that contain formatted data. I currently use BBEdit and have used QUED/M in the past to revise files with their regular expression find and replace capability and their macro capability. TextMate seems to have this capability but, at least for me, is not easily used.
To get started, I would appreciate it if you could let me know how to do a simple find and replace via the automation run command menus. A simple command to replace all carriage returns with tabs in the file being displayed would get me going.
Also, I work with files that have macintosh (carriage return), unix (new lines) and dos (carriage return, line feeds) in the data and do not want them converted automatically. Is this possible? I see on the save command that you can select one of three options but there is no option to leave the line endings unchanged.
Thanks for any help.

Did you get the private reply I sent you about this? and if so, and you didn't understand it, it might help if you'd point me to what you didn't understand.

By default it should use the setting that matches what the loaded file contained. So if you open a file, edit it, and save it again (cmd-S) it should preserve encoding and line endings (it may upgrade the encoding to utf-8 if you use characters that cannot be represented in the encoding).
