[OS X TeX] TeXShop 2.09a

[Claus Gerhardt]

If you place in BBEdit the cursor before the starting $ sign, then  
the search command (using grep)
\$((.|\r)+?[^\\$])\$
will find (and highlight) anything between the starting $ sign and  
the next forward positioned $ sign (including the $ signs), and not  
get irritated by an escaped \$.

I think the solution is fairly easy and obvious unless you want to  
make it really foolproof; but if this maxime would rule the world  
than we had no cars, no wine, and certainly no tex.
