Ups, I realize I meant to ask Ronald (who sent that answer), not Todd.
Sorry about that!
I'm on digest, so someone else (Ron most likely) may have answered
already. But if not:
That is a "pattern modifier," described in the BBEdit online help Grep
Reference, which lets . match returns. It is one of the keys for this to
work as I need it to. Your suggested pattern (the same but without that
modifier) only matches single consecutive duplicate lines, not "blocks"
of multiple lines that are duplicated.
Humm, I think I didn't understand what you wanted the first time. I
suppose you need to match not only , say, a 4-times a\r pattern:
a
a
a
a
but also, say, a 2-times a\rb\rc\r pattern:
a
b
c
a
b
c
Sorry for misreading...
Hope that makes sense!
It does, thaks a lot for your kind reply! :)
Manuel
