texte = The string [^\]] (or [^]] apparently under BBEdit) is a negative set. It will match every character that is not in the set, that is to say, anything not a right bracket. Whether you have to escape the ] in the expression is based on the exact implementation. I just tested it in MultiEdit with the various example strings you (and others) included, and discovered that MultiEdit will die screaming if you do not escape the ], but that my search strings worked like I designed them.I can also highly recommend the O'Reilly RegEx book. One of the thingsabout Perl especially is that after enough experience with regex, youdiscover that almost everything can be fixed with the correct regex.HTHJohn PeacockKenneth Grome wrote:> > >On 5/3/00 3:55 pm, Jereme Claussen so noted...> >> >>BBEdit has an option titled Use Grep which uses standard RegEx for> >>those concerned..> >>> >>>Or if you have an editor with regex support, you can make two passes:> >>>> >>>Search: \[text ([^\]]#)\]> >>>Replace: \[text \0&secure=f\]> >> >Slight modifications are needed for BBEdit Lite 4.6 (and I assume BBEdit> >as well):> >> >Search: \[text ([^]]*)\]> >Replace: \[text \1\&secure=f\]> > I don't know enough about grep and regex to be able to confirm or> deny that this will actually fix all the text tags for the 8> different scenarios I listed previously.
