Hi all,
I have a 300 page long document that I need to split into multiple documents.
Example of text:
/fl.1/ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nunc
in felis non tellus ultrices aliquam. Etiam nisl odio, mollis at,
consequat id, tempus at, massa. Suspendisse eget ligula. Aliquam vel
libero quis lacus mollis vestibulum. Morbi rutrum venenatis purus.
Done /fl.2/igula felis, sollicitudin ut, commodo a, elementum ac,
ligula. Aenean non erat ac magna varius hendrerit. Quisque et metus
sed orci fermentum impe /fl.3/tis purus in magna. Phasellus et lectus
sit amet dui commodo placerat. Duis commodo nisi ac sapien. Nunc diam.
Integer at ante. Pellentesque
Some of the words have footnotes.
I need to split the text by the /fl.X/ tags so with the above example
I would get 3 writer documents with footnotes.
The /fl.X/ tags appear in the middle of the text as on the example and
the text all has the same formating.
Any suggestion?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The first thing that comes to mind is the simple use of search and
replace. find : /fl.
replace with: \n\n\n/fl. (where \n implies OS newline)
Then cut and paste to new docs.
OK - you probably already though of that.
Second method:
Use the tools/macro/record_macro and do the search/replace above. Then
do a search for \n/fl. and mark start of copy, then search for \n\n/fl.
and mark end of copy. Then use edit/copy. Then open a new file and name
it and use edit/paste and close it. Tag the stop recording and name the
macro.
You will need to edit the macro. If you use fl_1.doc, fl_2.doc, etc for
the new filenames you can use a loop with a counter for the new file
name. fl$sectn".doc" Or OOo equivalent. You could also use the /fl.nn
from the top of the new doc as the name. Or have the loop stop and ask
you for a name. Lots of ways to do this.
If all you have to do is just one source file I would suggest the manual
search/replace followed by the find start of copy and just walk your way
through it. This requires no programming on your part and while it is
tedious, you will in all likelihood be done sooner than if you attempt
the programming route.
Others may supply actual routines. If so, try them out and choose as you
prefer. In the end - achieving the goal is the objective.
