That is going to be harder if your endnotes do not have closing tags. I am not
sure that the jquery suggestion will work at all, and a script is going to have
to know where the note ends, which will take some code depending on how the
footnote is formatted.
If you can add end tags or the note is on a single logical line, it becomes a
lot simpler. However, with no closing tags and the endnote one a single line by
itself, something likes this:
Script searches Fo;e1 for
<sup><a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref(\d+)">\[\d+\]</a></sup>
And assigns \1 to something like $footNum then searches for
<h3 pb_toc=index><a href="#_ftnref\d+" name="_ftn${footNum}"
title="">\[\d+\]</h3><sup>\[\d+\]</sup></a>(.*)
In the File2. In the second search, \1 is the contents of your footnote, say
$footText
You will replace your first search found text in File1 with:
<pb_endnote>$footText</pb_endnote>
BUT, this assumes that all the footnotes are formatted exactly the same way.
Obviously, work on a duplicate copy of File1
You could do this all in awk, but only if you have already endured the pain of
learning awk which I'm guessing you haven't because then you would have just
used awk. Awks is very powerful, obtuse, and unforgiving.
I would probably end up writing this as a shell script with sed because awk
makes my head hurt.
Basic login:
Repeat with each line {
If it contain a footnote {
get the number
Search File2 for the footnote text
Replace the <sup></sup> with the footnote text
}
}
Write the new file
Multiple footnotes together will be another step, or run the script multiple
times until there are no matches.
