Hi everyone my boss just came down on me with a slavish task and I was hoping someone here had an easy (scripting?) solution for it. I've never written a line of code, so please forgive if my expectations are unrealistic.
I hava a huge file and need to change things repeatedly in the following manner: The lines I need to change ALWAYS follow a line saying <MTypeName `Index'> (so easy to find) Then the line I need to change reads for example <MText `N.: suprascapularis'> and needs to be changed to <MText `N. suprascapularis; Nervus suprascapularis'> i.e. - delete the colon after in this example the "N." - insert a semicolon before the " ' " - repeat the term - but replace the "N." with "Nervus" (or, if it's a "V." with "Vena" and there are about 8 different possibilities to be replaced with different words) I Imagine for someone who knows what they are doing, this should be a ridiculously simple task, needing a few lines of code. For me, on foot, so to say, it'll probably take a week or so. Could anybody help me out here?
