Strip off required strings inside Quotes

Postby skallu » Tue Oct 04, 2005 5:42 pm

I am trying to do the following

Source Sample

Code: Select all
"Due Date of first Instalment must be earlier than Due Date of second Instalment
Precondition: X.PRM.INST2DUE is displayed
X.PRM.INST1DUE < X.PRM.INST2DUE"
"Due Date of second Instalment must be earlier than Due Date of third Instalment
Precondition: X.PRM.INST3DUE is displayed
X.PRM.INST2DUE < X.PRM.INST3DUE"


Required End Result
Code: Select all
"X.PRM.INST2DUE
X.PRM.INST1DUE
X.PRM.INST2DUE"
"X.PRM.INST3DUE
X.PRM.INST2DUE
X.PRM.INST3DUE"


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

For your example, this regular expression in UltraEdit style (see Advanced - Configuration - Find - Unix style Regular Expressions) will do it:

Find What: "*^p*^(X.PRM.[A-Z0-9]+^)*^p^(X.PRM.[A-Z0-9]+^)*^(X.PRM.[A-Z0-9]+^)"
Replace With: "^1^p^2^p^3"
