Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Removing Index Markers from Writer: a How-To
Hi :) CVAlkan (=Frank) is using Nabble to view things from the mailing-list and for posting. The 2 other ways are GMane and as just normal emails. Of those 3 ways it's only Nabble that has a system for uploading 'attachments'. Follow the links in Frank's email to get to the right place in Nabble or go through the official LibreOffice website thru "Get Help" and find the correct thread by looking at the subject-lines and/or date&time. With scripts people have often just copy&pasted the code directly into an email rather than try to upload a file. Either way around is fine.

Hi Peter: Hmmm. I hadn't noticed that there was no "attachment" button on this forum, as I haven't ever uploaded anything longer than a few lines. Under the "More" button on the top of the message box, there is an option to "upload a file" but I don't know if other users will have easy access to that. Maybe someone who is more familiar with this forum can advise. But, even it it only goes to the LibreOffice folks themselves, I think that would be useful, since perhaps they can use it is a guide for further development of the indexing feature.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Removing Index Markers from Writer: a How-To
D'uh! Thanks Frank. I've updated the script with that change. Attachments aren't accepted by this list, are they? What did you mean by "post the shell script"?

The full blown shell script you sent me (I don't see it here on the forum for some reason) needs to be modified in the same way of course.

Of course, I hope some of the LibreOffice developers will incorporate the option and capability to remove old markers when an index is regenerated, and "fix" the generator so that it doesn't add additional markers to the same word when updating takes place. (It doesn't always do that, but I haven't figured out the exact conditions when it does).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Removing Index Markers from Writer: a How-To
Hi Frank, This script works on OS X, to the extent that does the conversions and creates new filtered odt files. The only questions are whether it works in Linux, and whether the filter does the right thing with the index markers. I haven't created any files with such index-markers, so maybe you can run it against your files to see how it goes. http://pbw.id.au/src/sh/strip-odt-index-markers It's a shell script, using soffice and perl.

If you test this and it works, please post back to give others another option. BUT: my sed command only removed the markers from the fodt. As I mentioned I was unable to convert the odt to an fodt (essentially uncompressing the odt to readable xml) using the unzip capability of my OS (as I'm pretty sure could be done with earlier open office documents). Since LO can easily write and read fodt files, though, it really wasn't necessary to do any file format conversion, and I didn't bother spending the time to figure out how to do everything in one shot.

Thanks for this work-around. I think it will also work on Mac OSX as it includes sed in Terminal. I will try it as soon as I get a chance. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Removing-Index-Markers-from-Writer-a-How-To-tp4094327p4094380.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
