Mathias,
It would be way simpler to just use the "Find and Replace" window using the
below regular expressions and replacement strings.
In the find window check the "Grep" and "Wrap around" checkboxes and leave
the other checkboxes unchecked.
If it works for your purpose in the "Find" window, you can then automate
the process with a "Replace All" text factory: File menu > New > Text
Factory.
*From double quotes -> tags:*
Find:
^\h*["”]((?:[^"”\\]|\\.)+?)["”]\h*=\h*["”]([^"”]+)[”"]\h*;\h*$
Replace:
<string name="\1">\2</string>
*From tags -> double quotes:*
Find:
^\h*<string\h+name\h*=\h*[”"]((?:[^"”\\]|\\.)+?)[”"]>([^<]+)</string>\h*$
Replace:
"\1" = "\2";
The regular expressions are a bit complicated because they handle the
different type of quotations marks used in your example and the case of
escaped quotes in the strings.
If you have escaped quotes (\") in your strings, think to convert them to
html entities (") in your tag version.
