Dear textmate experts,
I have a text file with lines like this:
dog={brown, bark},
cat={white, purr},
mouse={gray, beep},
I would like to end up with this:
dog={brown, bark},
cat={{white, purr}},
mouse={gray, beep},
Replacing "cat={" by "cat={{" is trivial, but how can I replace the closing brace "}" by "}}" for that lines? I tried to work with regular expressions and ^.*cat={.*$ matches the lines starting with "cat={", but I couldn't manage to tell textmate's "Find" to basically add something to a line. I also seems to me that although the "Find"-box in textmate's "Find" can deal with regular expressions, the "Replace"-box ignores regular expressions.
I know textmates "Edit Each Line in Selection", but I can't select all lines starting with "cat={" by hand, there are simply too many in my file.
Cheers,
Marius
