I have been able to remove the link using javascript under Batch Processing in Adobe Pro, but the link text remains. I have seen recommendations to use text touchup, w...
We use Telerik's RadEditor for our content management system's WYSIWYG editor. We need the find & replace functionality that is in the WYSIWYG editor to also be in the HTML editor. The editor is pretty customizable, anyone know if there is a way to enable this or hack it in? ...
Scenario: I have a text file that has pipe (as in the "|" character) delimited data. Each field of data in the pipe delimited fields can be of variable length, so counting characters won't work (or using some sort of substring function... if that even exists in VIM). Is it possible, using VIM / Vi to delete all data from the second p...
Recently, I've begun to notice that Visual Studio 2008 isn't finding all of the instances of a text I search for when I'm searching Entire Solution. It will start to search through the files to find a term, but then at some point, it stops searching other files, and starts alternating between only two files. This is very aggravating, b...
I distribute an Excel workbook to a number of users, and they are supposed to have a particular macro file pre-installed in their XLSTART folder. If they don't have the macro installed correctly, and they send the workbook back to me, any formulas depending on it include the full path of the macro, e.g.: 'C:\Documents and Settings\rich...
I'm looking for a decent tool that can do search and replace over multiple files, with regular expression syntax I'm use to in C#. Normally I would do this in Visual Studio, except it has the strangest regex syntax (and this is meant to be faster than just replacing the text in the files manually). So far I've tried windows grep but it ...
Ok, I have a multi-line string I'm trying to do some clean-up on. Each line may or may not be part of a big block of quoted text. Example: This line is not quoted. This part of the line is not quoted “but this is.” This one is not quoted either. “This entire line is quoted” Not quoted. “This line is quoted and so is this one and so is ...

[edited] I have a file "changesDictionary.txt" containing (a variable number of) pairs of key-value strings. e.g. "textToSearchFor" = "theReplacementText" (The format of the dictionary is unimportant, and be changed as required.) I need to iterate through the contents of a given directory, including sub-directories. For each file en...
Hi, Every once in a while I want to replace all instances of values like: <BarFoo> with <barfoo> i.e. do a regular expression replace of all things inside angle brackets with its lowercase equivalent. Anyone got a nice snippet of Lisp that does this? It's safe to assume that we're dealing with just ASCII values. Bonus points for ...
I have a group of text based rules that are structured like this: Rule 1: Do [XXX] when [PN] greater than [N] Rule 2: Get [PRD ..] and add [X.XX] To go with this is an array of data that translates each grouped code into a CSS class ID (for jQuery). I also have an array of translations from [code] to ID stored in a simple structured...

Can this can be done in Vim? What I mean is: searching for 'BadJob' and replacing with 'GoodJob' would do the following replacements 'badjob' -> 'goodjob' 'BadJob' -> 'GoodJob' 'badJob' -> 'goodJob' 'BADJOB' -> 'GOODJOB' ...
I have a service method that takes a String and then replaces tags in the String with items from a tag library. As follows: for( MetaDataDTO tag : tagValues ) { message = message.replace( tag.getKey(), tag.getText1() ); } Obviously; this make heaps of new strings and is BAD. But the StringBuilder replace method is cumbersome to ...
I have a rather annoying issue that I solved using a simple recursive method in Java. However, I'm looking for a better way to do this. The initial problem involved the presence of whitespace within a Quoted Printable/Base64 encoded Mime header - which as I read the RFC 2047 specification - isn't allowed. This means that decoding fail...

The current Find and Replace features use the standard Windows dialogs, which are showing their age and aren't very powerful. What great examples do you know of Find and Replace functionality, in text editors or IDEs? I'm looking for inspiration for look...

I'd like to update it with the location of another server - we are moving the content over. So the source would be something like http://my-server1/some/link/to/something...
