Hi Marcel,

You could try this.

Find:

   
 (?s)())+)()\n((?:.(?!)

Replace:

\n\n\2\n\n\n\1\3

Grep help for musicxml

2022-12-05 Thread 'Marcel Lamers' via BBEdit Talk

Hi,

I have a musicxml file that is not properly imported into my music notation 
app and I have to change the syntax to do a better import.
I gave it a go with grep but can't seem to get the proper pattern to make 
the change.

In short, I want to remove the dynamics tags plus content from a note tag 
and place it before the note tag with new closing tags.
Difficulty is the occurrence of several  tags and the greediness of 
the patterns I tested.
I also gave the must not occur (?!) a go but to no avail. Any 
help in the matter would be greatly appreciated

Here is an example:

Re: Grep help - removing text within a tag

2022-10-10 Thread Fletcher Sandbeck

The find pattern would be "" with "Grep" checked. You can 
use the Multi-File Search... dialog to run this against a folder containing 
your .txt files to see how many matches there are.

When I'm doing multi-file work like this I'll usually start out doing a Find 
All in the multi-file dialog and looking at all the results. If it looks like I 
want to do a replace all then I can go back into the dialog and do that. The 
replace pattern would be blank if you want to remove the iframe tags.

If I need to be more discerning I'll work through each file by file in the 
results using Find Next to make sure that I want to replace all the iframes. Or 
refine the find pattern to be more specific.

Grep help - removing text within a tag

2022-10-10 Thread a k

Hey all, 

I'm looking to use grep to remove text contained within a tag (including 
the tag itself). More specifically - I need to find and remove a bunch of 
iframe tags from multiple .txt files. 

Here's an example tag:

*https://website.com/1.0/ifr?zid=123456&cb=${CACHEBUSTER}&abc_imp=${AUC_ID}&c=${CLICK_URL_ENC}&";
 
frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="123" height="456">*

because the zid, width and height always differ and appear in other places 
in the document (that need to be preserved) I cant do a regular find and 
replace.

 a complete beginner to BBEDIT and grep so apologies if this question is a 
bit remedial. I have bunch of code cleanup tasks that are very repetitive 
and I'm confident could be solved with grep, just not 100% sure how to go 
about it.

Hi Michael

Glad it worked. It's actually very easy once you get the knack. I have been

Thanks much, worked like a champ.

I’ll have to try and wade through the docs on GREP again and see if it catches 
this time.

Or, Or, 

The folks at BB could do a 5 minute YT video showing various examples of common 
tasks and then billions of BBEdit users would all get a leg up.

Need a little GREP help

2022-10-04 Thread Michael Heth

Say Folks,

Have been trying to get my head around GREP for many years and never quite 
get it.

I've asked for help before and folks were able to give me the cryptic code 
to get my little task in the done column.

So, I have a list with over 450 lines like these

1995 DUCATI M600 Monster
1995 DUCATI M900 Monster
1995 DUCATI Superbike 748 Biposto / SP
1995 DUCATI Superbike 916 Biposto / Senna

and I need them to end up like this

1995 DUCATI M600 Monster
1995 DUCATI M900 Monster
1995 DUCATI 
Superbike 748 Biposto / SP
1995 DUCATI 
Superbike 916 Biposto / Senna

Any tips.help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

M./

Yep, none of the input I was testing had words ending in m, evidently. This, of

Hey Lewis,

That has to be a typo on your friend's part.  There's no sense in adding a 
capture for an optional literal 'm' – it adds nothing and can mangle words 
ending in 'm'.

This is test
 Maximum Text
With some spaces

ThisistestMaximuTextWithsomespaces

I've no idea why the person in question might feel the need to turn ON 
multiline.  (I'd guess habit.)

Corrected:

search: (?m)\s+

Turning OFF multiline works just the same:

search: (?-m)\s+

#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw
while (<>) {
s!\s+!!g;
print;
}

All produce your compressed string:

ThisistestTextWithsomespaces

Were you were wanting to remove horizontal whitespace only?

Find: \h+
Repl: null

Vertical whitespace can be isolated with “\v”.

Re: A little grep help

2019-02-12 Thread ThePorgie

Seems like an odd search string. The (m?) would be to capture a patten for 
an optional m before your space. If you're just wanting to get the spaces I 
don't know why you would include this when the \s would get them all with a 
replacement of null and selecting the replace all option. Including the 
pattern (m?) would also get the m's if followed by a space unless you 
returned the pattern in the replace field by using \1 (\1 is assuming only 
one pattern match in your search string being for the m) 

Of note. The \s also gets returns so you will get one long string if using 
the replace all option. You could try \h+ and have more luck. (\h will 
leave the returns).

It's NOT doing the same thing is (?m). Apply your pattern to this sample:

As far as I can tell, this behaves identically to (?m)\s+ (which I

Notice that \s includes line feeds/carriage returns/form feeds, so perhaps it 
is not what you want.

For just spaces and tabs you may try [^ \t]+ (user manual, p. 187).

This would seem to remove any `m` character that is followed by one or 
more spaces, so I don’t think it _quite_ does what you asked for. Not 
sure why it would be faster either.

Hi Chris, thank you for the support ;)

be inserted into your web page.

This is over my skill Chris :( but for your information, I have to put 
other data in 3 consecutive web pages. I set up 2 macros with Keyboad 
Maestro: the 1st just copy (clic & drag to select) the 4 row: receipt 
number, date, amount, cf, and put them all into the related variables. then 
it switch to chrome and calls the second one macro. Not so elegant, nor 
fully automated, but it's fast and safe and I can check it easily. as 
always sry for my english.

Re: GREP help: dig into the report of the cash register

2018-12-14 Thread m.osti

Hi, I tried this also and seems to me the result is the same as the 
previous one: perfect.
I use the multi search function of bbedit: it scans all the folders 
containing the files (one per day) and in 4 seconds extracts all the data. 
awesome!

Ah, there was only a receipt with an amount of 1000,00 and the script 
extracts just "1", same for the previous script as well. I saw it 
immediately because it was without ", 00" so no problem.
Here it is:

Ok, I think I've narrowed down the greedy over-run to only look between 
matching register numbers...So basically this should work regardless of 
varying number of item lines in your receipt.

Search:
t_fiscale (\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2}) (\d+) (\d+)$(?s).*?TOTALE EURO 
+([0-9,]+).*?C\.F\. +([\w]+).*?N\.SCONTR\.FISCALE +\5

Replace:
\5\n\3/\2/\1\n\6\n\7\n\n

2   100,00  ABCDEF12G34H567I22-04-2017
3   260,00  LMNOPQ89R01S234T22-04-2017
5   23,00   LMNOPQ89R01S234T22-04-2017

I can write another script that will parse these into variables that can be 
inserted into your web page.

Each pass will show a line item as processed like so:

[✓] 1   130,00  ABCDEF12G34H567I22-04-2017

If you set the windows of your web browser and BBEdit up just so, you can get 
realtime visual feedback on each pass.

 Only sales that have the "C.F." are valid.
 In this case I need it in the order:
 the date
 the receipt number
 the total euro
 the alphanumeric part after C.F. for example ABCDEF12G34H567I which is 
 of 16 characters always in this order 6 alphabetic characters, 2 numbers, 
 1 
 character, 2 numbers, 1 character, 3 numbers, 1 character.

 Now I copy them by hand and then I use a macro that I created in 
 KeyboardMaestro. Since there is a lot of data that I don't need, to speed 
 up I tried to extract only the necessary values through a GREP search, but 
 I failed, failed, failed and after many attempts I decided to ask.
 If it were possible I would also like the date separator to be / 
 instead of -

 I'm going to put on the cash register closure below: the values I need 
 are in red.
 Thank you and sorry for my english.

Hey Marco,

Here's an updated script that produces cleaner output.

>From here I would probably turn the output into tab-delimited single lines.

Because from there it's easy to write a macro to extract the data and insert it 
into your web page one line at a time.

Re: GREP help: dig into the report of the cash register

2018-12-06 Thread ThePorgie

Right you are. I didn't notice that when I last tested. Try this:
t_fiscale (\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2}) (\d+) (\d+)$(?:.*\n){1,8}?TOTALE EURO 
+([0-9,]+)(?:.*\n){1,3}?C\.F\. +([\w]+)

and replace:
\5\n\3/\2/\1\n\6\n\7\n\n

Note: I'm not sure how many items you can have listed on your receipt which 
causes me pause even with this grep string as 1 receipt with a long list 
will get skipped. I couldn't come up with a way to stop the greedy over-run 
if the string didn't contain the "C.F" line. If someone else notices 
something in this regard that I overlooked that would be great.

with this option there is an error: it get sales #4 (sale without CF = 
unnecessary) but it ignore sale #5 (with CF = necessary)
of course, this way the result is even cleaner and easier then to use

thank you for your concern. this GREP search is quite good: it get also the 
sale(s) without CF that are unnecessary but I can just ignore them at a

I see you've got a script, but I like a puzzle... seems to work like this.

t_fiscale (\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2}) (\d+) (\d+)$(?s).+?TOTALE EURO 
+([0-9,]+).+?C\.F\. +([\w,]+)

I used this with the extract option

The grep for the date is pretty straightforward, since you can match on 
# and I assume that the date is going to be the same on all the 
transactions. So grab the date and deal with the amount and CF separately.

It should be possible to setup a grep that looks for

fiscal[stuff](date)(number)[end of line][anystuff] EURO (numbers a comma 
numbers)[end of line][anystuff]C.F.[spaces](alphanumerics)[space][endofline]

\1 contains your date, and you can format it however you want ()(..)(..) 
gives you  mm dd
\2 contains your (transaction) number
\3 the Euro amount
\4 the C.F. ID

If you have a scanner that supports OCR (including an iOS app), scanning the 
receipts and putting them somewhere on your computer means that Hazel would be 
able to process the recipes automatically. Add an AppleScript and you can 
probably automate the submission to your web portal.

(It would take me a long time to build the actual grep, but basically the idea 
is there and some playing with it will yield something that works)

Hey M.,

This is a bit of a sticky problem, so I'm not surprised you had problems when 
relying on grep alone.

Run this AppleScript from the Applescript Editor against your register tape in 
BBEdit.

I believe I've extracted the relevant data from the tape.  If so then we need 
another pass to get just the values you want.

GREP help: dig into the report of the cash register

2018-12-04 Thread m.osti

Hello, every day when I have to close up my shop I get this report from the 
cash register. I have the obligation to transmit some sales data through a 
web page, and I have to insert one receipt at a time, sigh.
Only sales that have the "C.F." are valid.
In this case I need it in the order:
the date
the receipt number
the total euro
the alphanumeric part after C.F. for example ABCDEF12G34H567I which is of 
16 characters always in this order 6 alphabetic characters, 2 numbers, 1 
character, 2 numbers, 1 character, 3 numbers, 1 character.

Now I copy them by hand and then I use a macro that I created in 
KeyboardMaestro. Since there is a lot of data that I don't need, to speed 
up I tried to extract only the necessary values through a GREP search, but 
I failed, failed, failed and after many attempts I decided to ask.
If it were possible I would also like the date separator to be / instead of 
-

I'm going to put on the cash register closure below: the values I need are 
in red.
Thank you and sorry for my english.
ciao from italy

Hey Matthew,

It takes a while to get good enough with regular expressions to manage anything 
but the basics without a hint or two, but don't let that worry you – Practice 
makes Progress.

It's been awhile, since I updated this – but all the links are current.

Some Information on Learning Regular Expressions – by Christopher C. Stone
---

Learning basic regular expressions is relatively easy.  Becoming really good 
with them takes dedication, a lot of practice, and some tutelage.

The BBEdit Manual devotes a whole chapter to regular expressions: Searching 
with Grep (currently chapter 8).  It's a reference rather than a tutorial, but 
it does explain at least briefly many of the fundamentals.

My cheat-sheet for BBEdit is up on Gist:

https://gist.github.com/ccstone/5385334 

BBEdit uses PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions), so it's a pretty decent 
if not complete reference.

Regex neophytes are better off starting with a book specifically written for 
beginners.

I have these books (in addition to a couple of tomes on Perl):

"Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes" by Ben Forta
"Beginning Regular Expressions" by Andrew Watt
"Regular Expressions Cookbook"  by Jan Goyvaerts and Steven Levithan
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl (Advanced)

There's a decent little utility available on the App-Store called 'Patterns' 
that live-updates as you create your pattern. ($2.99)

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/patterns-the-regex-app/id429449079?mt=12 

I've found it very handy to have live feedback when building a complex pattern 
and wish I'd had something like that when I started learning regex more than 20 
years ago.

Extracting a good working knowledge of regular expressions from the Internet is 
a serious chore.  There are many flavors of regex out there, such as Perl/PCRE, 
Java, Javascript, Ruby, Python, TCL...  They're all similar, but the 
differences can be very confusing and frustrating.

Nevertheless there are many useful online resources.  Here are a few:

http://www.agillo.net/regex-primer-part-1/ 

http://www.agillo.net/regex-primer-part-2/ 

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/regextutorial.aspx

I think I see my problem.
I was using "Process Lines Containing" which appears to extract the entire 
line, not matter what I search for.
I used Search with the Extract function, and it works now! 

Thank you

Change the .* in your string to [^.]*

(And you don't need the square brackets around \. )

So:
from [A-Z][a-zA-Z][^.]*\.

…which really means:

from followed by a space

a single capital letter, not including diacriticals/accents

a single letter of any case, not including diacriticals/accents

any number (including zero) of non-period characters (which may 
include other punctuation, spaces, line breaks, etc.)


a period

Does that work, or do you need to be more specific?

Re: Another Newbie GREP help request...

2018-05-17 Thread Matthew London

Thank you all for helping with such a simple request.
However, I realize now that I didn't even word my request accurately.
I understand that for BBEdit, a "line" is everything up until the next 
"line break"

What I need is to search for SENTENCES, not LINES.

I managed to figure out that the following would give me everything that 
had "from" followed by a capital letter, with a period followed by a space 
at the end:

from [A-Z][a-zA-Z].*[\. ]

But that also gives me all the sentences in the line which preceded the one 
I need!

How would I strip out all the sentences that precede the one I need?

(BTW I understand that GREP is literal, and without an even fancier search 
won't be able to distinguish between a period in "Mr. Whitney" and "Mount 
Whitney is covered in snow.", but I'm willing to live with that.)

I did look in the manual but still couldn't figure this out.

Thank you,
Matthew

2018-05-15 Thread Patrick Woolsey


Please try this:

from [A-Z][a-zA-Z]+

with both the "Case sensitive" and "Grep" options enabled.

In summary, "from " will match these literal characters, while 
the first _character class_ [A-Z] will match a single capital 
letter, and the second _character class_ [a-zA-Z] modified by + 
will match 'at least one or more' capital and/or lowercase letters.


(NB: You may wish to fine-tune this pattern depending on what 
you want a "word" to consist of. :-)


As to grep references, I suggest you start with Chapter 8 
"Searching with Grep" of the included PDF manual (available at 
any time via Help -> User Manual) and work from there.

from [A-Z]

works. Be sure to tick the "Case sensitive" box at the top of the dialog.

Hi, 

if I’m not mistaken you could use either

from [A-Z]+

Or 

from [[:upper:]]+

Not on a computer right now, so this is untested, but hopefully is correct and 
helps ;) 

As for books, maybe one of the O’Reilly pocket references, but I’m not sure

Another Newbie GREP help request...

2018-05-15 Thread Matthew London

Hi,
Struggling to get my head around GREP...

I need to use Process Lines Containing function in BBEdit to find all lines 
that  contain the word "from" followed by a space, followed by any word 
that begins with a capital letter

ie:   
He is from California
but not
He is from his mother


PS.Grateful if someone can recommend a "GREP for non-programmers" written 
in plain(er) English so I dont have to bother you very helpful people here.
Thanks :-)

Hello Steve!


I don't know, whether there are some more characters around your data.

If the coordinates are pure one per line, this should work with grep:

search:
^(-?\d\d\.\d{12}),\s*(-?\d\d\.\d{12})\s*$

replace:
\02,\01,0.0


best greetings

Re: grep help coordinates

2018-03-05 Thread Fletcher Sandbeck

Something like this should do it. The unescaped parentheses define groups which 
are referred to by \1 and \2 in the replacement pattern. The escaped 
parentheses match the actual parentheses around the coordinates.

Find: \(([0-9.-]+), ([0-9.-]+)\)
Replace: \2,\1

Hope this helps,

[fletcher]

One issue is that what you are replacing is contained in what you want to 
replace WITH, so you need to replace the semicolons that aren't part of the 
'&' string.

You'll need to check the BBEdit manual on this, starting not he bottom of page

Positional assertions “anchor” a pattern, without actually matching any

Grep help

2017-10-06 Thread Lee Hinde

I've taken over a project and have many many html files with strings like
this:



I want to change all occurrences of a semi-colon within a url to something
else, like &.

I started with this search string:

(href=\".*);(.*\"[ ,>])

and this replacement string:

\1\&\2

The problem is it is only replacing one of the semi-colons (and oddly, to
me, not the first one) and I'd like to replace all of them.

Pointers would be appreciated.

Put (?s) at the beginning of the search expression, thus:

(?s).*?

"s" is the pattern modifier, meaning "dot will match any character (including 
newline)".

Probably a very basic question but it has me stumped.

I want to search for all the text within a ...

Is there a way in BBEdit to force . to include returns or is there some

No offense meant Ronald. You obviously have a strong understanding of grep. 
There are just so many issues involved with CSV parsing that it is hard to

I forgot to account for double quotes within the field containing the
comma.  Here's the fixed version:

(\"(?:[^\",\r]|\"\")*),((?:[^\"\r]|\"\")*\")(?=(?:,(?:[^\",\r]+|\"(?:[^\"\r]|\"\")*\"))*$)

Ronald and others,

Thanks for the solutions.
I have folks uploading CSV files to a web server that I then have to parse the 
columns and rows on the server and populate a database.
When I asked for help here I also went back to the client and they agreed to do 
a find/replace to remove the commas from the spreadsheet before they upload the 
csv file.
I should be good to go with out having to do any munging.

Thanks,

Re: Grep help

2014-02-18 Thread Alan Truly

Another case to be wary of is if you have double quotes in your text. They 
are encoded in the CSV as 2 double quotes. 

So for example:

name story
George  He said, "Hello!"
JeffI agree with George

Would be encoded as:
"name","story"
"George","He said, ""Hello!"""
"Jeff","I agree with George"

In this scenario, Christopher's grep works, but Ronald's fails. CSV can be 
surprisingly difficult to work with since it overuses the comma and 
double-quote. Be careful when converting large files that whatever you try 
works in the odd cases. Also, consider whether newlines might be included 
with quotes. I have to move on to other work, so can't help further right 
now, but thought I should give you the warning to be careful.

I'm curious, what is your ultimate goal?  I'm wondering if there may be
ways to achieve it without having to munge the data first.

By the way, if you have access to Excel, it would be trivial to do a
search/replace within Excel to replace commas with spaces.

Anyway, I think you would want something like this:

Find

(\"[^\",\r]*),([^\"\r]*\")(?=(?:,(?:[^\",\r]+|\"(?:[^\"\r]|\"\")*\"))*$)

Replace

\1 \2

The positive look-ahead matches any remaining fields to the end of the
line, to make sure the comma being replaced is within a field rather than
between fields.  It should properly handle quoted empty fields and fields
containing quotation marks (which are escaped by doubling, e.g. "abc""def").

This will only find the first comma in each field, so you'll need to run it
multiple times if a field can contain multple commas.

Hey Ted,

Give this a try:

Find:

Replace:

2014-02-17 Thread Ted Burger

Folks,

Thanks in advance, but I am struggling with  putting together a grep search.

I have Excel created .csv files that I have to parse.
Excel has a "feature" where it incodes commas in a field by enclosing that 
field with quotes.
This means that you might have rows that look like:
a,b,",c",d,e
",",,,,","
So what I want to do is replace any comma that is enclosed within quotes with a 
space.
I could survive with just deleting the comma if that makes it easier.

I think this requires some look-ahead or look-behind, which is over my head.
I will have to have a grep solution, no perl no shell, no applescript.

Thanks,
Ted

Here is what I came up with, also going to need a couple of passes.  

On the first run:

Find: 

\.jpg\n(.*?\_bk\_?.+)

Replace with:

\.jpg,\1

On the second run:

Find:

\.jpg\n(.*?\_bk\_.+)

Replace with the same as the first one:

\.jpg,\1

Hope this works!

I couldn't see a way to get a 100% solution with just one grep run, but 
this works for items that have two, but not when there's three. If you run 
the same regex replace all multiple times it will accommodate more than two.

Find:
((\w+_\d+_\d+).*\.jpg)(\r(\2(.*\.jpg)))

Replace with:
\1,\4

Thanks.  I sort of knew it was something ridiculous  that was causing the

and I am going to get all those records updated.  I was seriously thinking 
of doing it the hard way.

Data base migrations from Oracle or MySQL to TSQL (or the other direction) 
must be a seriously miserable process.   Even my tiny data base (200+

Re: grep help

2012-08-07 Thread Steven

A sample line is INSERT INTO books (title, topic_id, description, 
date_aquired, book_id, pages, w_index, w_bibliography, pub_date, subtitle, 
w_illustration, w_maps)  VALUES('Humans', 14, 'Then end of the world, 
maybe, maybe not', '2009-01-01 10:52:39', 1, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0);
and I want to remove the date field gone and replaced with a single comma

I am using ,'\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d',.This should work. 
  But for some reason it does not.  I have show invisibles on and it shows 
only one space between the date and the time, which is what I am using.

At first I assumed that the - had to be escaped.  It seems that  is not the 
case.

Thanks for the help.   I usually have very good luck with advice here.

As maarten guessed, I am trying to remove 560 instances of a date from an 
SQL file.   So I am looking for a way to grab everything from one comma to 
the other and including the quotes, all the numbers and dashes  and dots 
and replace it with one single comma,

Maarten's method didn't work either. It just goes beep and says not found.

What does "does not like that" mean? That it finds no matches? Or do
you see something that indicates an error?

> I assume I have to \- because - is a character grep uses

You should generally not need to escape the hyphen outside of
character classes (enclosed between [ and ]).

And to get help with this problem you really do need to provide an
example of the data you're trying to match against.

Your question is somewhat incomplete, but let me try. The question would 
improve if you give a sample of the string you are looking for ('2012-08-05 
15:53:08', with or without the quotes?), and a clear indication what it should 
be replaced with ('').

1) Make sure that 'grep' is checked in the find window.
2) Try '[[:digit:]]{4}-[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{2} 
[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}' as the search string. 

   - [[:digit:]] is a character class that contains all digits. 
 I find this more readable than \d, but that would work too.
   - [[:digit:]]{4} searches for exactly 4 digits in a row. 
   - the rest are literals.

Hope this helps,

Maarten

One line containing an employee number:

[ \t]*1\d{5}\r

One or more lines containing an employee number:

([ \t]*1\d{5}\r)+

:)


So, the complete pattern might look like this:

(?m)No Fly List:\r(\s*1\d{5}\r)+\rOther options

GREP help

2012-04-16 Thread David

I need some Grep help.

I need to remove this type of entry from a large file.

"No Fly List:
101508
100698

Other options"


ignore the quotation marks, I added them to illustrate the start and
end of the string.

Each six digit employee number begins with 1. Each line ends with a
carriage return.

The problem for a newbie like me is that there may be one or twenty
employee numbers, each on its own line, and I'm not sure how to handle
that. There is no hard limit on the number of 1x numbers to search
for between No Fly List:\r   and Other Options"

Once I find all the occurrences of all the No Fly List entries, I am
going to remove them, but I know I can do that with a multi-file
search and replace, and replace the found string of varying number of
employee numbers with a single carriage return.

This regex will work on the sample text, which has the  and  on
the same line, and no other cells on that line.  In general, however, it
may match too much; it matches from  to the next ,
even with a  in between.  (e.g. )

To avoid that issue, you could use the below regex, which will not match a
 that is already closed with a , (and also can match
across multiple lines):

Find

(?s)((?>(?!).)*)

Replace

\1
