Chris S, I tried your script, but nothing appears to happen. No changes.
I made mods to your code. I was not as clear as I should have been on
explanation desired results.
What I am working on is 50 chapters which are of the format:
#start#
1 xxxxxx
2 xxxxxxx
….
n xxxxxxx
#endofGen#
What I am trying to do is after I find a start, then the next line should be a
1 and text. I want to change that 1 to whatever the current chapter number it
should be. All the chapters ar in order. Example for 20 chapter, the output
would look like:
#start#
20 xxxxxx
2 xxxxxxx
….
n xxxxxxx
#endofGen#
That line starting with a 1 and following a start is the only change desired.
I am on MacOS 10.15.7 and the very latest BBEdit 14.0.5. The Perl I am
executing is 5.28.2.
I get no errors when I run the the filter.
Here is what I have as a script after my minor changes:
my $cntr = 0;
my $ChgSw = 0;
while (<>) {
if ( /^#Start#/i ) {
$cntr++;
$ChgSw = 1;
}
if ( $ChgSw ) {
if ( /^1\h/ ) {
s!^1!$cntr!;
}
$ChgSw = 0;
}
print;
}
Sorry for delay in getting back to you. I truly appreciate the insight from
what I see in the scripts and the way they work with BBEdit.
Wags ;)
