What’s new in version 15.1.3

Fixes
  • Fixed typo in an expert preference defaults entry.
  • Updated the entitlements in the App Store build to include /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ and /opt/homebrew/opt/, so that Homebrew binaries are usable without requiring explicit sandbox access.
  • Fixed bug in which closing a live preview window would fail to save any customizations to preview filter/template/CSS selections.
  • Fixed display name of the OpenPDFsAsText expert preference.
  • Made a change so that the OpenPDFsAsText expert preference takes effect without requiring an application relaunch; turning this setting off will override the PDF language module's built-in mapping.
  • Corrected display of some header entries in the Open Recent submenu.
  • Fixed hang which would occur in the Rust language module when a where clause in a function header was at EOF.
  • Fixed bug in which the -Z (--null) output option in bbfind(1) did not work as intended.

Powerful text manipulation tools embedded in this app. I would have spent many hours searching for regex scripts to do many of the things that BBEdit does out of the box.

I recently enjoyed how you can use a complex research using regular expressions. Example: searching for usg=.+" will select any string starting with usg= including every character following until it meets ". Great! :-) You'll find presets/explanations on the third local menu on the right of the Find area.

I only use the free mode, but this app so useful. Great for opening XML files and using search to find/confirm data, show invisibles that are causing trouble, etc.
