How to Select all chars between 2 html tags?

[SkyGaZeR]

Hey
How to select all characters between 2 html table tags and then capitalize
the first letter of each word. Likely I need a macro with a
"reg-ex find/select" and then a simple F5 key?

The exact tags are
<tr><td>text in here</td><td>
Want Output of
<tr><td>Text In Here</td><td>

Thank you'
Sky'

The following macro should do the job. It will not work correctly, if the column text contains '<' or '>', but this should be no problem, because for < and > as text the corresponding html entities should always be used.

Attention! It also capitalize html entities, if the entities are not correct defined - & must be the word starting character and not a delimiter.

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Loop
Find RegExp "<td>[~<>]+</td>"
IfFound
ToCaps
Else
ExitLoop
EndIf
EndLoop
Top
Find MatchCase "<Td>"
Replace All "<td>"
Find MatchCase "</Td>"
Replace All "</td>"

If the tag is ever <td>...</td>, use this macro

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOn
"~@#"
Top
Find "<td>"
Key RIGHT ARROW
Key LEFT ARROW
StartSelect
Find Select "</td>"
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
ToCaps
EndSelect
Top
Find "~@#"
Delete

I tried the above example onto mine but it didn't work.
I am trying to select all text in between these 2 tags
<td id="lyrics" "class="song_text">
and
</td>

Trying to copy it and then select the whole page and then paste and then save the file. I tried this macro but it isn't working.

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Find RegExp "^<td id="lyrics" "class="song_text"^>*^</td^>"
Copy
SelectAll
Paste
Save

I know the 'copy' is wrong here. I also tried start select and end select but that didn't work either. Any help here please

Looks like you are using an older version of UltraEdit where the most powerful regular expression engine - the Perl engine - is not available.

There is no need to escape < and > with ^ because <> are not regular expression characters for the UltraEdit engine. But * means 0 or more characters except new line characters. So using * limits your search to single lines. If you want to select a block, use following macro:

UnixReOff
Find MatchCase "<td id="lyrics" "class="song_text">"
IfFound
StartSelect
Find MatchCase Select "</td>"
EndSelect
EndIf
