Well, I'm not sure how to do this in a textfactory, but it is trivial in perl.
Below is a sample perl program that does what you want. To make this production
just change DATA to on the while line and use it as a unix filter.
(you also don't need
anything below # desired output)
Good Luck,
Matt
#!/usr/bin/perl
printf( %5s %5s %5s\n, 'data1', 'data2', 'data3' );
while ( $line = DATA ) {
chomp($line);
if ( $line =~ m|^data1=(.*?);\s+data2=(.*?);\s+data3=(.*?);| ) {
printf( %5s %5s %5s\n, $1, $2, $3 );
}
}
# desired output
# data1 data2 data3
# 234.4 343.7 588.0
# 511.5 654.7 654.9
# 651.8 925.5 876.0

Hi, I am writing a textfactory which uses part of a line as a column
header. I want to duplicate the first line of data and create the
headers from that. Is there a way to tell BBedit to find/replace only
the 1st match and not all matches? Here is the format:
There are several lines of random
text here then comes the data below.
data1=234.4; data2=343.7; data3=588.0;
data1=511.5; data2=654.7; data3=654.9;
data1=651.8; data2=925.1; data3=876.0;
format like this:
data1 data2 data3
234.4 343.7 588.0
511.5 654.7 654.9
651.8 925.5 876.0
