![]() I did create a Codeless Language Module (CLM) which can be dropped into ~/Library/Application Support/Language Modules/ and will do the following for your bash scripts. But what I didn’t realize is that it doesn’t just use grep, but PCRE, which has some really powerful additions to grep.Īt any rate, I won’t bore you with the details. The first thing I had to learn was the extra power, and complexity, of PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions.) Power users of BBEdit already know that the find and replace function can use grep. ![]() The unix shell scripts language module does an OK job of coloring certain things like comments, strings and keywords, but it doesn’t recognize functions and therefore doesn’t offer code-folding or listing of your functions in the Navigation bar. It does have one small limitation that I was hoping version 11 would address and that is handling bash scripts better than just “unix shell scripts”. ![]() Now at version 11 it still doesn’t suck and in fact is still insanely great. BBEdit has been one of my favorite applications since I begin using it in the early nineties, or was it the late 80’s? At any rate, it just keeps getting better and if you do any kind of serious text editing on the Mac, be it HTML, CSS, Java, etc you really should be using BBEdit.
