Hi,
I am currently trying to reformat a xml-like text to a <tab> separated text, which I can import into gnumeric as a cvs-file. The original text (after some tweaking by me) looks like <tag_1>text_1</tag_1> <tag_2>text_2</tag_2> <tag_3>text_3</tag_3> <tag_4>text_4</tag_4> <tag_5>text_5</tag_5> in which 'tag_<n>' is any text for a tag and 'text_<n>' is any kind of text (but without any '<' or '>' included. After some editing I got this from the above text: tag_1>text_1</tag_1> tag_2>text_2</tag_2> tag_3>text_3</tag_3> tag_4>text_4</tag_4> tag_5>text_5</tag_5> and currently I cannot manage to remove the 'tag_<n>>' from the beginning of each line. Unfortunately the tags are of different lengths so a simple visual block deletion does not work here. I tried: :'<,'>s/^[^\>]\+>//g with the text in a visual block but it states to not to find the regexp'ed text. I know, I am doing some wrong magic here, and I doubt whether it is magic at all...but may be there is some wizard out there who likes to show me the trick ?!? Thanks a lot in advance! Have a nice Sunday! Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
