I'm trying to isolate some code in BBEdit using the grep functionality offered (Perl friendly).
By my reading, the OP wants to know how to use the PCRE capability of BBEdit (or TextWrangler) to accomplish this task. While BBEdit has a mechanism for invoking scripts, I do not think that was what the OP was asking about. There are many merits to your answer, but it is not something that can be implemented directly in BBEdit.
