But I think the built in tool using webkit would be coolest. Has anyone figured this out? You may want to use Stakeout [1] for that. It can monitor a file and e.g. perform an action when the file is saved (which would be to send reload to Safari/Firefox). [1] http://michael-mccracken.net/blog/blosxom.pl/computers/mac/programming/meetWatch.html Yes, Stakeout looks very cool. I also thought of using folder actions for this, but I don't know how to get Safari or Mozilla to refresh from a command line or AppleScript. Does anyone have a working example for this? In BBEdit I used to use a script like this: Save and Refresh Safari.scpt tell application "BBEdit" save window 1 end tell tell application "Safari" do JavaScript "location.reload()" end tell But that stopped working with one of the updates to OS X. I would like to see an AppleScript that would check to see if the current file's URI was open in any Safari window or tab. If so bring it to the front and refresh, else open a new tab with the URI. Any ideas? I can't be the first person to try this.

mixed-case match in plist?

I've been working on an SQL syntax plist with some more keywords but I can't see a way to pass in a "case insensitive" flag to the regex matches. I've reverted to something ugly like this : match="\\b(sum|SUM|count|COUNT)\\b" ... etc any suggestions? thx, K
