What’s Missingīesides HTML tools, TextWrangler lacks several other BBEdit features.
#Textwrangler review full#
With support for grep pattern matching and the ability to search hundreds of text files at once, you can massively alter the contents of a folder full of text files in just a few steps. Consider TextWrangler’s most powerful feature, its search-and-replace engine. It allows you to strip duplicate lines, to base sorting on regular expressions (so you can sort by items within a line, not just by the first character of a line), to create hard wrapping, to select rectangular segments of text (useful for modifying tabular data), and to compare two versions of a document.Īlthough TextWrangler doesn’t offer the HTML-editing features (including syntax coloring) that BBEdit does, it can be a useful tool for Web developers on a budget.
Bare Bones says that it expects TextWrangler to appeal to database and system administrators, students, and programmers who are beginning to outgrow the text editor that comes with Project Builder (part of Apple’s free development-tools package) and who want to take advantage of two TextWrangler features: syntax coloring for C programs, and the ability to act as an external code editor for ProjectBuilder.įor that audience, TextWrangler offers plenty of interesting tools. It doesn’t support styled text, so italic type, boldface type, and multiple fonts are out of the question. If those features don’t make you sit up and take notice, TextWrangler may not be for you.
