The source data's generally one record per line with all sorts of different formats from all sorts of systems -- XML, JSON, CSV, logfiles, uncle Tom Cobbley... Most of the time the data has loads of fields (columns?) which I'm trying to extract a few.
Generally the task is to extract the ROWS from the text (e.g. matching certain criteria), then extract the COLUMNS from that. As I said, this could be XML, JSON, etc. Made worse by inconsistencies where sometimes field data is in different orders, hence the need for named captures. I also appreciate that this might not be the tool for the job. Pity as BBEdit is quite addictive! Thanks. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
