Just downloaded your bundle, the Balance Jr Macro is pretty sweet.   
Indeed not exactly what I was looking for, and what was previously  
very thoroughly and precisely explained by Eric O'Brien, but  
nevertheless a very useful addition and a good example to study and  
see if I can figure out how to code the functionality myself.

I thought there was a shortcut out of the box for that though, I used  
to use it all the time in BBEdit and somehow assumed it was also in  
TM.  My bad! :) Time to brush up on my regex...
