Hi all,

I have a nice matchtext script that extract "placeholders" from a text.
Like everything between "<<" and ">>" or "::" or "{" and "}"

This is the function I use, it#s a little script of Ken Ray (thanks Ken!)
that I could understand, at least a bit to modify it:-)

## extract placeholder tText,tdelimiter,delimiter2
## tdelimiter = the delimiter of the returned list of placeholders
## derdelimiter2 = the actual "borders" of the placeholders to extract
function platzhalterextrahieren dertext,derdelimiter,derdelimiter2

  if derdelimiter = empty then
    put TAB into derdelimiter
  end if
  if derdelimiter2 = empty then
    put "::" into derdelimiter2
  end if

  switch derdelimiter2
  case "::"
    put "::" into derdelimiter3
    break
  case "<<"
    put ">>" into derdelimiter3
    break
  case "{"
    put "}" into derdelimiter3
    break
  end switch

  repeat
get matchText(dertext,"(?s)" & derdelimiter2 & "(.*?)" & derdelimiter3,wert)
    if it = false then
      exit repeat
    end if
    put derdelimiter2 & wert & derdelimiter3 into neu
    put neu & derdelimiter after neueliste
    replace neu with empty in dertext
  end repeat

  delete char -1 of neueliste
  return neueliste
end platzhalterextrahieren

This results in a list like:
::Anrede_90001::
::Titel_90001::
::Nachname_90001::

Or:
<<Anrede_90001>>
<<Titel_90001>>

Or:
{Anrede_90001}
{Titel_90001}

You get the picture.

Works fine so far, but now I also wanted to use "[" and "]" and even "[[" and "]]" but I cannot get the script to work. I tried to escape these characters like:
...
case "["
    put "\[" into derdelimiter2
    put "\]" into derdelimiter3
    break
...

I need to replace the german decimal delimiter COMMA with a dot before I can finally MERGE the content of the text, and replace it with a COMMA after the MERGE.
Know what I mean?

But then I get stuck in an endless repeat loop?!

Is this possible at all with matchtext?
Any hints are highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance!


Best

Klaus
