My go-to application for text

I do lots of research and presentation of data for marketing. TextWrangler helps me solve numerous challenges with text from a variety of sources. My most common use cases: 1. clean up screen-grabbed text to put into a spreadsheet, 2. “fix” text from a PDF document for use in InDesign/Illustrator, 3. remove duplicates from lists, 4. augment lists with tags and missing data. Anytime I think that I might need to do a bunch of manual cleanup of text, I paste my text into TextWrangler and see if I can leverage any patterns to make the job easier. I’m not yet a GREP expert, but I understand how powerful that would be to know. A wishlist item: some way of constructing GREP searches with a preview to get feedback/learn quicker. Excellent application.

One of my best Apps

Text Wrangler is one of the best Apps I have. I use this for all my text files. I especially like the multi file text search, man that is so helpful and a time saver. I have never had an issue with this App, never. It is such a joy to use, I would gladly pay for this app. I’ve been using Text Wrangler for many years and I hope it gets update to support the newer OS X. Since I’ve recently upgraded to High Sierra I now get a warning that says the app is not optimized for your Mac. This is the only reason I can see why an update would be needed.
Thanks you the developer for this awesome App !!

What Is Textwrangler

A great app for creating and tweaking HTML files!

Textwrangler Windows 10 Free

I’m an old-school web developer who used to hack out webpages using Apple’s TextEdit. I use WordPress for all-out website development, but often I just need some basic HTML files or want to tweak exsisting HTML files. Now that I’m using El Capitan, Apple has fancied up TextEdit so much it’s useless as an HTML file editor. TextWrangler gets the job done clean, fast & easy wih a super-small footprint. Cheers to BareBones!

BBEdit is a proprietarytext editor made by Bare Bones Software, originally developed for MacintoshSystem Software 6, and currently supporting macOS.[2]

  • 4Freeware versions

History[edit]

The first version of BBEdit was created as a 'bare bones' text editor to serve as a 'proof of concept'; the intention was to demonstrate the programming capabilities of an experimental version of Pascal for the Macintosh. The original prototypes of BBEdit used the TextEdit control available in versions of the classic Mac OS of the time. The TextEdit control could not load files larger than 32 KB. The Macintosh Pascal project was ultimately terminated, but the demonstration program was reworked to use the THINK Technologies 'PE' text editing engine used for THINK C, which was much faster and could read larger files. BBEdit was the first freestanding text editor to use the 'PE' editing engine, and is the only one still being developed.

BBEdit was available at no charge upon its initial release in 1992, but was commercialized in May 1993 with the release of version 2.5.[3] At the same time, Bare Bones Software also made a less-featured version of BBEdit 2.5 called BBEdit Lite available at no cost. BBEdit Lite lacked plugin support, scriptability, syntax coloring and other features then deemed as mainly for advanced users. Bare Bones Software discontinued BBEdit Lite at version 6.1 and replaced it with TextWrangler, which was available for a fee, although significantly less than BBEdit. In 2005, TextWrangler 2.0 was released as freeware and subsequent versions continued to be distributed as such[4] up until 2017, when it was sunsetted and incorporated into BBEdit.[5]

Throughout its history, BBEdit has supported many Apple technologies that failed to gain traction, including OpenDoc and PowerTalk. The failure of PowerTalk, and the desire of developers to have email integrated to their text editor, led to the development of Mailsmith, an email client that uses BBEdit's editor component. Formerly developed by Bare Bones as a commercial application, in 2009 Mailsmith was transferred to Stickshift Software LLC and would continue to be developed as a labor of love and released as freeware.[6]

In 1994, taking advantage of BBEdit's then-novel plugin support, third party developers started writing plug-ins to easily create and format HTML code. In fact, the developers at Bare Bones Software first learned of the existence of HTML through users inquiring about these plug-ins. Barebones later bought the rights to the plugin code from their author and included them as part of the standard BBEdit package. The tools were included as an optional palette in version 4, and were progressively more integrated, gaining their own menu in version 5.0.[7] In version 4.5, Bare Bones introduced BBEdit Table Builder as an additional tool for web designers and developers to visually design HTML tables, then the main technique for layout control on web pages.[8][9] Table Builder was removed in version 6.0, since enhancing it would involve replicating the features of existing visual HTML editors, and BBEdit was at this time bundled with Dreamweaver.[10] BBEdit's plugin support was removed in version 9.6, in favor of the expanded selection of scripting languages available on Mac OS X.

BBEdit was one of the first applications to be made available for Mac OS X, as a Carbon app. On macOS BBEdit takes advantage of the operating system's Unix underpinnings by integrating scripts written in Python, Perl, or other common Unix scripting languages, as well as adding features such as shell worksheets that provide a screen editor interface to command line functionality similar to MPW Worksheets and Emacs shell buffers.

BBEdit's creator codeR*ch refers to Rich Siegel, one of Bare Bones Software's founders and the original author of BBEdit.

Features[edit]

BBEdit is designed for use by software developers and web designers.[2] It has native support for many programming languages and custom modules can be created by users to support any language. BBEdit is not a word processor, meaning it does not have text formatting or page layout features.

The application contains multi-file text searching capabilities including support for Perl-compatible regular expressions. BBEdit allows previewing and built-in validation of HTML markup and also provides prototypes for most HTML constructs that can be entered into a dialog box. It also includes FTP and SFTP tools and integrates with code management systems. BBEdit shows differences between file versions and allows for the merging of changes. Support for version control, including Git, Perforce, and Subversion is built in.[2]

A number of applications and developer tools provide direct support for using BBEdit as a third-partysource-code editor.

BBEdit supports the Open Scripting Architecture and can be scripted and recorded using AppleScript and other languages, as well as having the ability to execute AppleScripts itself.[11]

Language support[edit]

BBEdit supports syntax highlighting for a wide variety of popular computer languages. As of version 10.1, these include: ANSI C, C++, CSS, Fortran 95, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSP, Lasso, Object Pascal, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Perl, PHP, Python, Rez, Ruby, Setext, SQL (including Transact-SQL, PL/SQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL), Tcl, TeX, UNIX shell scripts, XML, and YAML. BBEdit's SDK allows users to develop additional language modules.[12]

Freeware versions[edit]

BBEdit Lite[edit]

BBEdit Lite was a freeware stripped-down version of BBEdit,[13][14] that ceased development in 2003. BBEdit Lite had many of the same features as BBEdit such as regular expressions, a plug-in architecture and the same text editing engine, but no programming and web-oriented tools such as syntax highlighting, command lineshell, HTML tools or FTP support. BBEdit Lite 6.1 comes in two forms: a Classic version for use under Mac OS 7.5.5 to Mac OS 9, and a Carbon version that runs under Mac OS X natively. Note: the Classic version does not run under the Classic environment.[15]

In 2003 Bare Bones introduced the commercial text editor TextWrangler, an enhanced version of BBEdit Lite,[14][16] which ceased further development. Later TextWrangler 2.0 was made available free of charge.[17]

Textwrangler Mac 64 Bit

A plain text editor like BBEdit, TextWrangler does not have formatting and style options. It has features common to most programming text editors, such as syntax highlighting for various programming languages, a find and replace function with regular expression support, spell check, and data comparison. TextWrangler also includes scripting support using AppleScript, Python, Perl, shell scripts, and BBEdit's native Text Factories. It supports text reformatting, and can read and save files in encodings including various Unicode encodings, ASCII, Latin-1 and Latin-9.

In the Summer of 2016, with the release of BBEdit 11.6, Bare Bones Software introduced a free mode of BBEdit[18] that even after the expiration of the 30-day evaluation period of BBEdit's full features, would continue to offer both TextWrangler's features and some additional features beyond TextWrangler's.[19] In response to a user question, author Rich Siegel confirmed that TextWrangler will eventually be phased out, given that the free mode of BBEdit now incorporates all functions of TextWrangler.[20][21]
