Hi Fran,

That's easy. Try a search replace pattern like this:

|
|--Perl pattern [ <base loc="en" >(.*)</base>\r\n <tran loc="fr"
origin=""></tran>] with [ <base loc="en" >$1</base>\r\n <tran loc="fr"
origin="">$1</tran>]
| [ ] Match case
| [ ] Whole words only
| [ ] Case sensitive replace
| [X] Prompt on replace
| [ ] Skip prompt if identical
| [ ] First only
| [ ] Extract matches
| Maximum text buffer size 4096
| [ ] Maximum match (greedy)
| [ ] Allow comments
| [X] '.' matches newline
| [ ] UTF-8 Support
|

Subject: [textpipe-discuss] Can Textpipe do this??


I´ve got a XML file with over 2000 pairs of lines with the following
structure:

<base loc="en" >TEXT TO COPY</base>
<tran loc="fr" origin=""></tran>

and I need to copy the text between the "base" tags into the "tran"
tags, like this:

<base loc="en" >TEXT TO COPY</base>
<tran loc="fr" origin="">TEXT TO COPY</tran>

In each one of the 2000+ pairs the text is different.

Is textpipe what I need? If anyone can throw a brief explanation, I´d
be most thankful


Fran
