| Description: |
| Thank you very much for script 1161 and 1160. I've been trying to modify them using search pattern [^\(\)]+(\(|$) to replace text outside brackets with text lines from another file. I want to keep the format of the input file but the output file loses all formatting. |
| Input Sample: |
| Original Text file: (Need to keep same format) (text inside) (more text inside) Original Text Outside 1 (text inside again) (more text inside) Original Text Outside 2 Original Text Outside 3 (etc.) Replacement Text file: Replace Text Outside 1 Replace Text Outside 2 Replace Text Outside 3 etc. |
| Output Sample: |
| Output: (need to keep same format as original) (text inside) (more text inside) Replace Text Outside 1 (text inside again) (more text inside) Replace Text Outside 2 Replace Text Outside 3 (etc.) |
| Answer: |
| Hint: You need to Download and install "Replace Pioneer" on windows platform to finish following steps. |
| Assume the replacement text file is d:\test\2.txt 1. ctrl-o open the source text file 2. ctrl-h open 'replace' dialogue * set 'search for pattern' to: * set 'replace with pattern' to: 3. click 'replace', done. 4. ctrl-s save to file. |
