hello,
i have been searching forever trying to find something that will let
me do some finding then copying and pasting into a new file. apple
automator was a big fail here. so, i am wondering if bbedit can do
it.

i have a bunch of text files - a bunch of stats from some game
software. all the states have a clear label. so, i want to search
through each file, then grab a number value that is next to a text
string - however, the text string repeats. so, i just need say the 3rd
instance of the text string.

so, something like - open file, find text - find again - find again -
select next to the text string till the end of the line - copy - paste
that value in a new file.

is this even remotely possible? with anything? from what i gathered,
bbedit has the most powerful text searching tools on the mac. can that
be scripted in some way?

been searching for a long time for a solution, but with my limited
knowledge of bbedit, not sure if it can do this. just a yes or no
would be good - then, i can buckle down and figure out how.

thanks!
