Text Factories ( top )

Text Factories increase your productivity by making it possible to quickly and easily apply as many of BBEdit’s powerful arsenal of tools as you need to achieve your goals across multiple files and folders, with just the single initial setup required. As a bonus, text factories operate in the background, allowing you to use BBEdit for other work while they’re running, and take full advantage of machines with multiple processors.

BBEdit features an array of powerful text transformations. Until now, there has been no easy way to apply more than one of these transformations at a time, nor to any documents other than the one in the front editing window. BBEdit introduces the Text Factory, which allows you to assemble a list of text transformations that should be applied in order to a specified list of files (including files contained in one or more folders of your choosing, open documents, files and folders referenced by file groups, and individually specified files). A Text Factory can also run AppleScript and Unix scripts against each file, further enhancing the power and flexibility of this new feature.

Text Factories are even more accessible with new Text Factory Menu, Apply Text Factory command, and Text Factory Palette.

Here, BBEdit gets ready for a major upgrade.

Support for multiple search and replace locations means that operations across multiple folders (such as multiple web sites) can now be performed in a single step; this significantly enhances productivity without requiring scripting or manual intervention. Since the application runs multi-file search/replace in the background, productivity is again improved. As a bonus, the multi-file search and replace engine takes advantage of multiple processors (on machines that have them) for even greater performance.
