I have a large file that I have loaded into a field "incoming". I wish to parse particular text pieces out into another field "outgoing".
The text is always between "value=question?>" and ends with "<" #the quotes are not part of the text
example
value=question?> TEXT I WISH TO PARSE OUT<
Any suggestions would be helpful (I have several hundred lines to search through).
I good job for regular expressions. Using regex the solution might vary depending if each a match is allowed to span more than one line or not. One solution could be:
local tResult
repeat for each line tLine in fld "incoming"
if matchText(tLine, "value=question\?>(.+)<", tMatch) then
put tMatch & linefeed after tResult
end if
end repeat
put tResult into fld "outgoing"Alex Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Mindlube Software | http://mindlube.com
