[DataMystic Support]

Try this perl pattern:

Replace with
$2|

[Fixer]

============SIMPLE DATA BEGIN============
aaa|ccc|eee|fff|ggg|
============SIMPLE DATA END==============

OK but... where is my parameter "B" and "D"?

I'll would like to have this...
============SIMPLE DATA BEGIN============
aaa||ccc||eee|fff|ggg
============SIMPLE DATA END==============

I have this right now, it is possible to optimize that filters some how? Because I wrote some kind of crazy method right now I thing

Code: Select all

Sorry, make the perl pattern:
\[(\w+)\]([^\]]*)\[/\1\]\r\n

If you need to add a newline after the ggg field, search for '|====' and add in a newline.

What do you mean by 'parameter "B" and "D"?' You didn't provide one.

This filter:

Code: Select all

|--Perl pattern [\[(\w+)\]([^\]]*)\[/\1\]\r\n] with [$2|]
|     [ ] Match case
|     [ ] Whole words only
|     [ ] Case sensitive replace
|     [X] Prompt on replace
|     [ ] Skip prompt if identical
|     [ ] First only
|     [ ] Extract matches
|     Maximum text buffer size 4096
|     [ ] Maximum match (greedy)
|     [ ] Allow comments
|     [X] '.' matches newline
|     [ ] UTF-8 Support

Takes this:

Code: Select all

============SIMPLE DATA BEGIN============
[a]aaa[/a]
[something_c]ccc[/something_c]
[e]eee[/e]
[more_f]fff[/more_f]
[g]ggg[/g]
============SIMPLE DATA END============

and converts it to this:

Code: Select all

============SIMPLE DATA BEGIN============
aaa|ccc|eee|fff|ggg|============SIMPLE DATA END============

What do you mean by 'parameter "B" and "D"?' You didn't provide one.

oh sorry... my mistake I did not explain

Ok so maby i explain whith other more real example:
============SIMPLE FILM_1 BEGIN============
[title]some title 1[/title]
[alternative_title]some alternative title 1[/alternative_title]
[director]some director 1[/director]
============SIMPLE FILM_1 END============

============SIMPLE FILM_2 BEGIN============
[title]some title 2[/title]
[director]some director 2[/director]
============SIMPLE FILM_2 END============

And "the end" rezult:
============SIMPLE FILM_1 BEGIN============
some title 1|some alternative title 1|some director 1
============SIMPLE FILM_1 END============

============SIMPLE FILM_1 BEGIN============
some title 2||some director 2
============SIMPLE FILM_1 END============

As we see some times "film data" don't have "alternative_title" column.
In database I have 3 columns so i need some like this "||" (this is the blanc parameter "B")
I hope that you know about what I speak

PS I am pleased very much, that you want you to help me.

[DataMystic Support]

Then use an EasyPattern (not perl pattern) like this:

Code: Select all

[ 
'[title]', capture(1+ chars), '[/title]', 0+ chars, 
longest optional( '[alternative_title]', capture(1+ chars), '[/alternative_title]', 0+ chars, )
'[director]', capture(1+ chars), '[/director]'
]

first I have little problem with implementation but now its works good

Great - will you be purchasing soon?

[Fixer]

I wonder over this, I testing right now TextPipe Trial...
Yours application and help support are great.

[DataMystic Support]

Thank you!

Where are parameters B and D? What perl pattern did you try?
