Linesort

LineSort is an extension that adds functionality to BBEdit, a commercial text editor from Bare Bones Software.

The basic unit of sorting is a line, a string of text terminated by an end-of-line character. LineSort Version 4.2 includes the following useful features: * convenient floating window interface * forward or reverse ordering of output * grep pattern matching * lexicographic or natural ordering * merges, removes or retains duplicate lines during sorting * operates on either a selected region of text or the entire document * optionally ignores case * sorts in place, or inserts sorted lines into a new document window * supports the undo command Requirements * Macintosh (any model) with System 7 or 8. * BBEdit 3.5.2 or later (the commercial version, not BBEdit Lite) PATTERN MATCHING
