TextMate is a text editor for Mac OS X.

TextMate is a customizable programmer's text editor for Mac OS X. It attempts to bridge the power of UNIX and Emacs with the ease of use and elegance of OS X.

Some of its notable features include:

  • declarative customizations
  • a tabbed documents view
  • recordable macros
  • code folding and snippets
  • shell integration
  • an extensive bundle system
  • and more.

Textmate Flavored Regex

Textmate uses the regex library Oniguruma.

Some recipes

Find everything from the top to the end of the head portion of an html file.

<?m:<!(.*)</head>)

Find entire starting anchor tag

<a [\s\S]*?>

or start to close

<a [\s\S]*?/a>

More information and a 30-day trial is available on the developer's website.

Also a new and improved version of this editor Textmate 2 which is now in alpha. More information about that here: http://wiki.macromates.com/FAQ/TextMate2

Is there a way to comment out a large block of code in TextMate?

I don't see anything in the Ruby bundle that will help me add comments to a large block of code. The links I have found online to such a shortcut do not appear to be valid any more.
