Atom Editor Help

[Peter Reid]

Hi

The reason I'm considering Atom is because I often help people on both Macs and PCs with regex type enquiries and it would be easier for me if I could settle on a single tool instead of having to be proficient in 2 or more tools (I do some Linux as well). If BBedit were at least PC as well as Mac, I'd happily stick with it!

Cheers

Peter

>> Hi, I?ve noticed that several of the LiveCode staff use the Atom text editor. Until now I?ve used BBEdit on the Mac and Notepad++ on the PC. I?m thinking of switching to Atom but need to be sure it can everything I need. For example, I have a typical piece of pre-process manipulation of text data that involves using several regular expressions. I?ve tried to find a macro in Atom that applies a series of find  &  replacement actions but have failed to find a solution. Can anyone provide a template macro for this?
