Hi,
I'm new to TextPipe and seem to have started out with a particularly tricky problem. I need extract data for statistical analysis from a text document.

Lets say, I'm looking for information AAA and BBB for each item ###.
The structure of the text ist the following:

--> i.e. I do not know which item contains information on AAA and / or BBB. However I need the extracted data organized by ###. The Easy pattern searches I managed to come up with so far would fail because they keep on searching for - say - pattern BBB ignoring the fact that BBB might belong to a different item.

I read your excellent white papers - but they do not seem to offer some code that addresses my problem.

I would greatly appreciate your help on this.

Add a special character before each item### such as '~', then use

[ longest 1+ not '~' ]

to prevent matches occuring in a different item.

Thanks a lot!!
Each of my items now start with a ~ and my seach code is
My 'Replace with' is
unfortunately, the result comes up empty - although the first item contains the guidelines string and the second the changes string. I would be greatful for another hint.

Thanks
