Peter: The actual perl command should be changed slightly to: perl -pi'orig_*' -e 's/<text:alphabetical-index-mark text:string-value="[[:alpha:]]*"\/>//g' Index_Experiment.fodt
After [[:alpha:]]*" the \/> needs to be added to remove the "/>" ending of the XML tag - otherwise it seems to work fine. The full blown shell script you sent me (I don't see it here on the forum for some reason) needs to be modified in the same way of course. I used [A-Za-z] instead of the [:alpha:] that you used because some systems don't respect that substitution syntax (I can't remember what it's called), which limits things just a bit, but a comment might be added to take care of that - the [:alpha:] syntax, again, is probably a little easier to understand for those not familiar with grep, sed and their relatives. You should post the shell script, as it is probably easier to use (?) for some folks than my simple sed command, since it takes care of hand-holding, locating the right directories and so forth. Of course, I hope some of the LibreOffice developers will incorporate the option and capability to remove old markers when an index is regenerated, and "fix" the generator so that it doesn't add additional markers to the same word when updating takes place. (It doesn't always do that, but I haven't figured out the exact conditions when it does). So - good work. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Removing-Index-Markers-from-Writer-a-How-To-tp4094327p4095465.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
