What I need is a script which will do the following:

Code: Select all

domain=(english equivalent) gloss(es) in Hindi


An example will make this clear. Input of first two entries

Code: Select all

blatant=(noisy)ऊधमी,मुखर;(paIpable)खुला,साफ़,स्पष्ट;(gaudy)भड़कीला;(flagrant)घोर
blazonry=भड़कीला प्रदर्शन


EXPECTED OUTPUT OF THE FIRST TWO ENTRIES. In case 2 there is no bracket so the domain word stands by itself. In case a part of speech is appended to the domain indicated by curly brackets, it should be treated as part of the domain.

Code: Select all

blatant=(noisy)ऊधमी,मुखर
blatant=(palpable)खुला,साफ़,स्पष्ट
blatant=(gaudy)भड़कीला
blatant=(flagrant)घोर
blazonry=भड़कीला प्रदर्शन


At present I am using a macro which identifies the first equal to, stores it in memory, identifies the the first left bracket, places the domain word followed by equal to before the bracket, stores the full string on another line and continues the operation till all original instances of left bracket on a given line are exhausted.
The macro works but is horribly slow. Any way of speeding it up, please.
Even a perl script would do.
Many thanks. The file is huge and contains 60,000 domain headwords.

What about this simple macro running an UltraEdit tagged regular expression Replace All in a loop until there is no line found anymore with an opening parenthesis after the equal sign and a semi-colon and some more characters?

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
Top
UltraEditReOn
Loop 0
Find MatchCase RegExp "%^(*=^)^((*^);^(?+^)$"
Replace All "^1^2^p^1^3"
IfNotFound
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop

Dear Mofi,
Many thanks. I copied the macro that you had created and tried to run it. I got an error message that UltraEditReOn was not valid.
I have an UltraEdit 14.01a created 2008. Is it because of that.
When I disabled UltraEditReOn and tried the macro it did create the dictionary but only partly.
Any help to solve this would be just great.

[Mofi]

In your older version of UltraEdit the name of the command to select the UltraEdit regular expression engine is UnixReOff.

And in your version of UltraEdit the value 0 is not needed for a loop with no fixed value of loop runs. Therefore remove 0 from command Loop.

Dear Mofi,
I followed your instructions to the letter and used UnixReOn. But the macro did not work. On checking the macro, I found that a space is inserted after the loop command. Even after removing it , when I reload the macro it is still there.Is this OK?
I simplified my database also and removed all the parts of speech tags which were between curly brackets and also did away with the commas. However the macro would not work.
I am really perplexed why it does not work.
Many thanks for all your help and sorry for the delay in replying.

[Mofi]

Well, I wrote UnixReOff - turn off Unix and Perl regular expression engine which means use UltraEdit regular expression engine - and you added UnixReOn - turn on Unix regular expression engine.

The search and replace strings are in syntax for the UltraEdit regular expression engine and not for the Unix regular expression engine and therefore with UnixReOn the macro does surely nothing on the file.

I am so sorry. I suppose this is a reflex. I always set regular expressions on. My goof up.
I tested the macro, it works fine. Many thanks.
Sorry for the stupid error.
