Hi J.A. de Vries,
thank you for your comments.
You are of course right. I do work with and on linux for about 15-20 years.
I agree, editors are a matter of taste. That is not my problem though, there

My problem was/is with regexpress'. I couldn't get into

Oh, what you did - replacing a text item temporarily with a

It looks like the match is occurring on glyphs that utilize the Latin

Dear Brian,
you are the greatest.
Yup. Try searching for
([^a-z]*) (.*)
and replacing with
$1;$2 or $1\t$2
as before.
I printed out days ago, the table with regular expression from the writer
help-file and experimented with it quite a lot, but I missed the (.*) part.
I probably wouldn't come to

Hi Paul,
unfortunately not.
Not all definitions start with a left parenthesis. For example, all verbs do

Hi Brian,
as you say, I will need to use base and I already started reading the docs
and experimenting with the form creation.
But I would also like to report on my progress.
I took all the files containing German-Greek terms and pasted them in a
single text-file, then using the linux editor plum

thank you too for your reply. Just missed it before, that's why I didn't

I do use Linux (Mint-Mate Rebecca actually) and I do make use of PLUMA
