[TxMt] Re: Filtering out specific lines

[Meryn Stol]

Hi Visconti,

To get something equivalent to "all /blabla":
In latest Textmate build, cmd-| ("|" is unix pipe character, not lowercase
l or uppercase i) triggers "Filter through command". First select all text
you want to search inside. Then press cmd-| You can then type "grep
'blabla'" as command. You can select how output will be handled.

Grep can do way more of course. For example, "grep 'foo\|bar'" will output
lines containing either foo or bar. You can also exclude words. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4538253/grep-how-could-i-exclude-one-word
for
how.

I don't think there's a way to exclude/include lines interactively, but you
can get pretty far by just editing the grep command, and rerunning it
either on current result, or on the original text.

Allan, there seems to be a bug (or is it a feature?) where if command
output is null, the selected text is not replaced.
