Filters work individually, not as a group

Post by dynalt »

These filters get the correct counts when run individually.
When run together in any order, the counts are off.
Objective is to extract Purchases to TSV format and remove Additions and Other Withdrawals.
Counts: (When run singly)
Purchases 52
Additions 6
Withdrawals 3

I am thoroughly mystified.
File upload objects to every extension, so I am pasting the data.

| TextPipe uses 'filters' to perform changes to each file. This 'filter list' is a sequence of changes, like 3 different search and replace operations.
|
| You can add filters from the Filter menu above - Convert, Add, Remove, Unicode, Replace, Special, Maps, Email, Restrict.
|
| For:
| * Search/replace - look in the Replace Menu
| * Unix/DOS/Mainframe End-of-line conversion - look in the Convert Menu
| * Extract email addresses - look in the Email Menu
| * Remove HTML codes - look in the Remove Menu
| * Join (merge) files together - look in the Special Menu
| * Split files apart - look in the Special Menu
| * Join files and then sort them - add a Special Menu\Merge filter followed by a Special Menu\Sort filter
|
| Just click the menu item to add the filter to the list.
|
| You'll find many examples just by clicking File\Open, or you can use File\Search to locate a filter.
|
| You can also ask questions in the TextPipe Discussion Forums -

Re: Filters work individually, not as a group

Post by DataMystic Support »

This is a common misconception about TextPipe.

After TextPipe processes the first replace, the text stream is altered, and so the second and subsequent replaces will not work, as the text they are looking for no longer exists in the stream. The Help Menu\Tutorial helps you with these advanced concepts.

The way to do this is to capture the result into a variable e.g. with EasyPatterns, or the capture filter, and then either convert each matching line into an output line, or have one line at the end of the file that is converted to a replacement containing all the matched data.
