I have a long list of these types of lines
Blueshield BSC500
Blue Shield Shieldspectrum500
there are about 150 of them with each line slightly different,
what I would like to end up with is lines like
<A HREF="Blueshield_BSC500.html">Blueshield BSC500</A>
note thatspace is now an underscore.
Is there a series of GREP find/replaces that will make this happen?
Assuming that what you want can be specified as:
Take the existing line, called it X.
Take X and convert all spaces to _, call it Y.
Produce the line
<A HREF="[Y].html">[X]</A>
And that X never contains any other characters that might cause
trouble in a URL.
Then you can do that easily in two passes.
First, search for
(.*)
replace with
<A HREF="\1.html">\1</A>
Next, search for
(".*) (.*")
replace with
\1_\2
Repeat that search and replace until there are no matches.
Note that if there are any quotes (") in X, then you will need to do more work.
Also, as you probably know, XHTML uses lower case, while HTML is case
insensitive, so using <a href...>...</a> would likely be better, but
that is a whole different story.
Enjoy,
Peter.
