Hi!

I would like to change lot of coordinates in more big xml files.
Find type:

Left="230"

the number is 1 or 2 or 3 characters decimal number. I need to change coordinates to left with 80 pixels, so I would like to replace this with 80 increased numbers:

examples:

Code: Select all

Original:      Replaced:
Left="230" --> Left="310"
Left="10" --> Left="90"
Left="0" --> Left="80"

Help me please... I can't solve this....

Calculating is NOT possible with regular expressions.

Yes, with a script in a suitable language, such as Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ECMAscript or Lua. Unfortunately, TextPad doesn't support scripts. Macros aren't powerful enough for this.
