Sends each line in the current BBEdit document to its own file

#!/usr/bin/env python

# A simple script that takes each line of the currently open (and saved!) document
# and outputs a file for each line, named with the first matching group of the name_grep
# regex
#
# It saves its output to a folder named "output" on the desktop
#
# Not really meant for general consumption, but as a tool that gets modified with every new
# time you have to do this.
