Replace on Different Line Than Find?:
Is it possible within BBEdit to do a Find getting text from one line
and them do another find/replace to append the original found text
to the second found line? I.e., can BBEdit hold found text for later
use?
If not, then I need some Perl help.
It looks like, in the files I need to process, the movieYear line
always precedes the title line so that I can use BBEdit to:
Find:
(^movieYear : )(\d{4})((?s).+)(^title : )(.*$)
Replace
\1\2\3\4\5 \(\2\)
How would I express this particular find/replace in a Perl script?
Within each file passed to the Perl script, I want to find the line
beginning "movieYear : " and get the four digits following the space
and before the line end character.
^movieYear : (\d{4})
I need to append a space and the four digits (within parentheses) to
the end of the line beginning "title : "
So, if I call the Perl script:
/path/to/perl/script.pl /path/to/Phantom.txt /path/to/Kong.txt
and if the files passed to the script contain among their lines....
Phantom.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1925
additional lines of text
title : The Phantom of the Opera
more lines
Kong.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1933
additional lines of text
title : King Kong
more lines
I need the script to produce:
Phantom.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1925
additional lines of text
title : The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
more lines
Kong.txt
some text
More text
movieYear : 1933
additional lines of text
title : King Kong (1933)
more lines
Anyone care to lend a hand?
