Need method/tool to find-replace in source text Thread poster: kd42

Good day, What is a feasible way or [freeware] tool which can be used to find-replace the source data in a big (15kw) sdlxliff file? The changes that are required are simple, like "5mm" -> "5 mm" but they are numerous and randomly scattered in the source text. Thank you. | | | mikhailo Local time: 00:32 English to Russian + ...

That will replace text in the source using regexes, and a lot more besides. It works well for me. Read the help and examples carefully.

Thanks for coming to help me, guys. I tried both methods and will use MS Word as a text editor for search/replace, because it allows me to limit the range to the essential data, without damaging the rest of it. I am not skilled enough to use Notepad or other text editors and limit the range to the data between certain tags. I do not like the usability and philosophy of Studio plugins, won't use them. Happy translating and thanks again! | |

Read the help and examples carefully. I didn't know of that plugin. A very useful feature. Loads of thanks. @kd42 If you choose to use MS Word, you can use the following regex replacement (with 'Use wildcards' checkbox ticked): Find what: ([0-9])([A-Za-z]) Replace with: \1 \2 This regex will find any number ([0-9]) followed by any letter, either upper or lower case ([A-Za-z]), and replace it with same element number one (\1) followed by space and followed by same element number two (\2). The regex will cover chemical formulas like Na2SO4 => Na2 SO4. Therefore, use it carefully. *** ([0-9]) = \1 ([A-Za-z]) = \2

Thanks a lot, Stepan, for reconfirming my approach. Since Studio XLIFF contains two instances of source one of which must not be changed, I plan to apply bold font attribute to the ranges which may be changed, and then limit the find-replace passes to bold characters only. | | | sdlxliff in text editor? | Nov 20, 2023 |

The last line of this code always contains all the segments present in your sdlxliff file. Just press Ctrl+F and search for a word or phrase. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Need method/tool to find-replace in source text Anycount & Translation Office 3000 | Translation Office 3000
