Karl rightfully pointed out that this is not true ;-), because there are several syntax alternatives which would make my egrep fail... So I had a second look at msggrep... msggrep will not only normalize the data so it can reliably be parsed, it can also be called with --no-wrap, which will put the whole msgstr into a single line. That in turn will make sure my script works even if the original data is spread over several lines. The modified script attached will make use of that and hopefully will turn the script into a reliable solution to extract and parse the needed data. BUT (yes, of course there is a downside ;-)) it will definitely require a separator at the end of each translator record - otherwise it will not be possible to determine where a record begins or ends. Another possibility would be to require each record to begin with a 4-digit year entry, but IMHO a separator would be more flexible. The following data is correctly parsed by the attached script (delimiter is ";"): msgid "translator-credits" msgstr "玛丽苏 <[email protected]>，2012 - 2013;" "Sign Guo Yunhe " "<[email protected]>;" "oxbambooxo <[email protected]>, 2013;" "2012-2013" "Guo Yunhe" "<[email protected]>;" "戴唯思 <[email protected]>，2012,2013" Result: <member>2012-2013, Guo Yunhe <ulink url="mailto:[email protected]"/></member> <member>2012-2013, 戴唯思 <ulink url="mailto:[email protected]"/></member> <member>2012-2013, 玛丽苏 <ulink url="mailto:[email protected]"/></member> <member>2013, oxbambooxo <ulink url="mailto:[email protected]"/></member> <member>Sign Guo Yunhe <ulink url="mailto:[email protected]"/></member> -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert
