ParticipantIt was fixed with reinstallation.

ParticipantWould be quite useful if there was a setting to have it automatically remembered in the dropdown list. For example, I may use a word to filter a file, then go to another tab with another file, whereupon I would have to reenter that word (or to have pressed Enter in the previous step).
spiros
ParticipantFor some reason it does not seem to work for me.

https://ibb.co/JnPMHmWCopy/pasting outputted something like

ParticipantI think I got it:
Find: (?:\G(?!\A)|\[\[)(?:(?!\[\[|]]).)*?\K\w+
Replace: $0한spiros
ParticipantOk, I got it now. I was expecting that if it was entered (while the Incremental button is on), it would be remembered anyway (without having to press Refresh).
spiros
ParticipantCorrect replace should be:
I have a [[test한]], you know a [[test한, and한 more한 test한]]
spiros
ParticipantThanks! Just tried with the test phrase but it also matches words within a phrase contained in double brackets, ie
[[a word, test, and more test]]
To keep it simple (and leave the find/replace linked file as is, ie. test→[[test]]) is it possible to add the extra character in any words between double brackets as mentioned, ie find:
I have a [[test]], you know a [[test, and more test]]
Replace
I have a test, you know a [[test한, and한 more한 test한]]
spiros
ParticipantSo you mean something like 1) use file with first column only to filter and then run on it the two-column linked file with the replacements?
Still, it would be nice if one had some sort of easy way to move/access/filter changed lines, given that they are already marked with some sort of highlight, ie like a bookmark of sorts. Or there could be an option to bookmark lines with replacements in Find/Replace before executing the replace operation.May 18, 2023 at 6:31 am in reply to: Batch replace with linked file matching only full text in left column #29247spiros
ParticipantThe error I get is “The regular expression contains a back-reference to a non-existent marked sub-epxression”
spiros
ParticipantThank you very much for your diligence and efforts towards excellence.
spiros
ParticipantI select a line. Please see gif video.

Participantyes, same sample text, delimiter not picked up automatically
Same when I try with spaces:foods served | foods offered | foods served
Or
foods served, foods offered, foods served
spiros
ParticipantThank you. Just tested with v22.1.907 and still the separator is not picked up automatically and the OK is greyed.
spiros
ParticipantAlso, if one adds manually a separator, it would be a good idea to have it “remembered” by the system or have a checklist with common delimiters to check the one that applies (and have the selection remembered too).
spiros
ParticipantIt was off. Now this is indeed the output. Still, it would be nice to have it as an extra sort option in the Sort menu and/or the Advanced Sort dialog list (Sort capitals first/Sort lowercase first). I guess it is quite easy to implement.
spiros
ParticipantIt was cleared, the result is different:
file
File
god
God
text
Textspiros
ParticipantOften, words starting with a capital are proper nouns and may mean a different thing than lowercase counterparts. Also, in a big file one may want to easily spot words starting with a capital, in order to fix them if they need to be fixed.
Example input:
Text
text
god
God
file
FileExample output:
File
God
Text
file
god
textspiros
ParticipantHere is an Excel implementation (so you understand better what I mean by cell-level)
https://www.asap-utilities.com/asap-utilities-excel-tools-tip.php?tip=278&utilities=42&lang=en_usspiros
ParticipantI tried the way you described, did not work as expected, created columns instead.
I mean like having multiple lines like these:
stuff, apple, banana, cherry, all sort, more, mpme, stuff, apple, banana, cherry, all
Then simply running horizontal sort, and the end results being with A-Z sort
all, apple, banana, cherry, stuff all, apple, banana, cherry, more, mpme, sort, stuff
Of course it would be good if one could define the delimiter in the process.
spiros
ParticipantImagine Excel, I mean being able to sort multiple entries left to right in one cell, separated by a delimiter, I.e. comma.
And this procedure to the totality of selected rows.spiros
Participant1. Does greyed out option mean that can still search with Regex on? In that case, it is as good as unchecked.
2. Thanks!spiros
ParticipantI guess you have defined as conditions CR on the linked replacements file.
spiros
ParticipantV.22 final
1. When Regular expressions is checked in Replace dialog, Fuzzy is not clickable. One needs to uncheck first Regular expressions. I suggest automatically uncheck Regular expressions and check Fuzzy if these two are not compatible.
2. When clicking Fuzzy in Replace dialog it always brings up the Fuzzy dialog, even if one has made selections earlier. This at best should be optional.spiros
ParticipantIs there any reason why this could not be added as a feature since it already exists in the standard dialog? I mean, it is not that practical to open 1000s of files in order to be able to run the extract regex.
