Regular Expressions and/or "if/then/else" logic in

[Dan in MN]

Hello,

Is there a way to use if/then/else logic and regular expressions for doing find/replace in WordPipePro?

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

I need to replace the URLs in some hyperlinks. Currently, they look like this:

HYPERLINK "/main/groups/agencywide/documents/pub/dhs_id_999999.hcsp",
and
HYPERLINK "/main/groups/agencywide/documents/pub/dhs_id_000000.pdf"

Thanks!

I need them to look like this:

HYPERLINK "javascript:link('id_999999')",
and
HYPERLINK "javascript:download('id_000000')"


I just downloaded the eval version of EasyPattern, and already own WordPipePro. Is it possible to do this with these two tools? If so, how do you do it?

Hi Dan,

WordPipe does not support EasyPatterns. However, MS Word does support wildcards, which are similar but harder to understand then EasyPatterns.

You just need 2 search/replaces, one like this:

/main/groups/agencywide/documents/pub/dhs_(*).hcsp
Replace with
javascript:link('\1')

and similarly for the second line.
