Hi all, Does the replaceText() function allow the use of backreferences to retain groupings of text between matches. For example, if I have some text like this:
<p><span style=‘cruft'>Good stuff here.</span></p> I want to end up something like this: <h1>Good stuff here.”</h1> In BBedit I can search for <p><span style=“cruft”>(.*)</span></p> and replace it with <h1>\1</h1> and it preserves the run of text designated by parentheses. (I know, I can get more fancy on matching the runs of html tags, but I’m mainly interested in retaining the text, not in regex madness.) In LC this does not work: put replaceText(myText,"<p><span style=“cruft”>(.*)</span></p>”,”<h1>\1</h1>”) into myText I just end up with <h1>\1</h1>, when I want <h1>Good stuff here.</h1> Can replaceText even do this? - Devin Devin Asay Office of Digital Humanities Brigham Young University _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
