I have an assortment of data files consisting of multiple lines that are:
DataName : DatumValue
There are 20-40 lines per file -- 20-40 data per file. I am
interested in extracting from each file just a few of the data and
combining these into a single output file. So, I need to (for each
open text file) find (in this example) two of the lines and output
the data from them into a single line of the output file.
Search for
^DataName1 : DataValue1\r
and
^DataName4 : DataValue4\r
and output a single line to the output file:
DataValue1\tDataValue4\r
Repeat the above for the next open text file and add its line to the
existing output file.
Is it possible to do this using just BBEdit's Find/Replace and such,
without resorting to Perl or some other type of script?
Try this - I think it will work:
Look for ^DataName1 outputting DataValue1\t and ^DataName4 outputting
DataValue4\r. If you end up with two lines in the output file than do
a second pass changing \t\r to just \t (which will merge the two
lines into one).
