Dumb Terminal Tricks - Part 56

Do you have bbedit ??? Read On !!

bbedit - It doesn't suck.

SYNOPSIS - bbedit [-b] [-c] [-h] [-l] [-p] [-v] [-w] file ...

DESCRIPTION:

The bbedit tool is a simple utility that allows you to open files in BBEdit via the command line. Type 'bbedit' followed by a list of file names to open those files for editing in BBEdit. You can also pipe stdin to the bbedit tool, and it will open in a new untitled window in BBEdit.

For example:

ls -la | bbedit

If you invoke the bbedit tool with no parameters, it will accept stdin from the terminal; terminate with control-D (end-of-file) to send it to BBEdit.

The bbedit tool is also suitable for use as your EDITOR

Enjoy :-)
