Ak, thank you so much. Works perfectly. Saved me many hours and prevented me from burning-up my calculator.

I have over 200 xml files, all written using Textpad.

Short of opening each file and recording the total line count, does anyone know of a way to obtain a total number of lines in all the files in a given directory?

Does anyone know if it is possible to do a computerized conversion of XML labels and text from English into Spanish? (using Textpad or any other editor)

Well, Ben, as usual your brain and fast response has saved me a lot of work. Again, I appreciate your help.

Ben, after I re-read my statement, it was unclear-sounding to me. Here is specifically what I want:

I have several lines of xml code which contain an id statement enclosed with ' '. I have others which contain an id statement enclosed with " ".

Examples:
<checkbox element="severity;hpi" label ...

Ben, thank you. I have another similar request:

I need to remove the following first statement and replace it with [nothing], but I want to keep the second statement: (The ids are differentiated by text and quotations. I want to keep the statement which has the quotations)

<checkbox label="abc" id ...

I need to find each of the following and replace each complex with nothing (blank):

<checkbox label="abc" id="1234" separator=''>
</checkbox>

<checkbox label="abc" id="xyz" separator=''>
</checkbox>

<checkbox label="abc" id="wz23" separator=''>
</checkbox>

Your help is appreciated.

AK, thank you very much.

Trouble creating a new document class. Here is what I have done:

Open Textpad, close all documents.
Click on Configure and New Document Class
Name the class xmlc, click next
Add class member *.xml, *.syn, click next
Click enable syntax

When I click on the arrow for Syntax definitio, no file by the ...

Can anyone explain how I can set the default to Word Wrap whenever any file is opened? I have checked the 'Word Wrap Long Lines' box in the Document Classes section of the preferences, but this apparently only applies to printing.

I can see no other place to default this.

Thanks

Ben, sorry about any ambiguity. This works fine. I do sincerely appreciate your help, as it has saved me about 5 hours of work and frustration.

As usual, Ben, you are very perceptive. That is just what I am trying to avoid. Here is a typical series in my app:

<checkbox element="cc;xxx" id="xxx xxx" id-type="x" label
<checkbox element="xxx;xx" id="xxx xxxx xxx xx" id-type="x" label
<checkbox element="xxx;xx" id="xx xxxx xx xxx" id-type="x ...

Thanks, Ben. This works on most lines, but I have now found several lines as below:

<checkbox element="cc;xxx" id="xxxxx xx" id-type="xx" label
<checkbox element="cc;xxx" id-type="xx" id="xxxx xxx xx" label

I am unclear how to modify your expression to delete these extra id's.

Thanks

Jack

Ben, this works for most of the elements, but there is another problem.

<checkbox element="cc;john Doe" id-type"xx" label
<checkbox element="fred jones " id-type"xx" label

I want to replace the characters and quotations in the first example leaving the id-type"xx" label. As you suggested ...

Andrew, or others, another 'simple' problem.

In my xml app, I need to change the following:

<checkbox element="cc;john doe" label
<checkbox element="cc;bill adams" label
<checkbox element="cc;ron howard" label

to

<checkbox label
<checkbox label
<checkbox label

Can you help me with this?

Thanks ...
