Hello Kishor V

Basically, this kind of operation can be easily achieved with a search/replacement, in extended or regular expression mode

For instance, starting with the list below :

Family Name : Adams First Name : Paul Age : 17 Secondary School : St Andrews College

You would obtain, after the S/R :

Family Name : Adams First Name : Paul Age : 17 Secondary School : St Andrews College

Do you expect this behaviour ?

If so, after opening the Replace dialog ( CTRL +H ) :

A) If you check the Regular expression radio button :

Find what : :\R Replace with : :

Notes :

In the Replace zone, the colon is followed with a single SPACE

The \R syntax, means ( among other things ! ) any End of Line character ( \r\n with a Windows format, \n with an Unix/OSX format or \r with an old MAC format )

B) If you check the Extended (\n, \r, \t, \0, \x…) radio button :

Find what : :\r\n ( WINDOWS file format ) Replace with : :

Notes :

In the Replace zone, the colon is followed with a single SPACE

If you currently use other file format than Windows, just write the right End of Line character, in the Find what zone

Hi Antonio,

Macro - Start Recording
CTRL + F, Search “Example”, Search and Close Search-Dialog
Arrow-Down
CTRL+F2 (Set Bookmark)

Macro - Run a Macro Multiple Times…
“Run until end of file”

Voilà :-)

Make sure you are in “Regular expression” mode. Search for:

<gx:duration>.*?</gx:duration>

Replace with

<gx:duration>3.1415926</gx:duration>

Or whatever value you need.

This is a known issue with the “Source Code Pro” font. In your style configurator make sure you aren’t using it at all.

Hello @Pascal-P.

unfortunately I don’t know what a hand tool is and what it is used for.

Hello @Scotty-Huff,
normally XML should be UTF-8 encoded but actually I assume this is ANSI.

Give it a try to change in Menu Encoding->Encode ANSI/UTF-8

AFAIK there is not a current way to automatically do something like that. Honestly it sounds like using N++ would be overkill. You might try other command line programs that are made specifically to do these tasks. sed and awk are two that come to mind. They do not come with Windows by default (unfortunately), but they are easy to find online.

Hello @Chris-Swinney,

I’m not sure if you can do this with UDL properly as it is designed to act on words rather than lines.
If it is sufficient then define the keywords ERROR, WARNING with the foreground and background color
of your choice and define a double quote delimiter for open and close. Press style and allow nesting
with your keywords.

If this isn’t what you are looking for, then the other alternative I now would be using a python script
to color the the lines.
