?Is it possible to export text between tags to new file?

Post by rjscott »

Hi-
I'm fairly new to the regex world and I need to know if it's possible to create a regex which searches through a single sgm file for a specific set of tags, then copies the tags along with the text between them to a new file. There could be up to 4,000 sets of this particular tab set within the sgm file so the result could be up to 4,000 files created. The process should be non-destructive to the sgm file.

Here's an example. I need to extract <pgblk...>and everything in between</pgblk>

Code: Select all

<para>Enhanced Zonal Analysis Procedure (EZAP) and associated Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS)</para>

<l2item>
<para>Enhanced Zonal Analysis Procedure (EZAP) is an analytical procedure required by Part 25, Appendix H, Section H25.5(a)(1) that identifies the physical and environmental conditions contained in each zone of an airplane, analyzes the effects of these conditions on electrical wiring and components, and assesses the possibilities for smoke and fire. The end result of the analysis are inspection and restoration tasks in the form of EWIS ICA.</para>
</l2item>
<l2item>
<para>Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS): means any wire, power feeder, wiring device, or combination of these, including termination devices, installed in any area of the airplane for the purpose of transmitting electrical energy, including data and signals, between two or more intended termination points. EWIS is defined in full by 14 CFR section 25.1701.</para>
</l2item>
<l2item>
<para>The Zonal Inspection Program includes a general visual and, if required, physical check of the general condition and security of attachment of the accessible systems and structures items contained in defined zones. This includes checks for degradation such as chafing of tubing, loose duct supports, damage to wiring and connected EWIS, cable and pulley wear, fluid leaks, electrical bonding, general condition of fasteners, inadequate drainage, etc., and general corrosion, not covered in the MSG-3 analysis. The zonal inspection is not intended as a quality assurance after maintenance check for determining proper reassembly of systems, components, structures, or powerplants. The zonal program packages a number of General Visual (GV) Inspections into one or more zonal inspections. The program includes any GV inspection tasks required to assure security of attachment and general condition of any system or structural items within the zone.</para>

Sorry I don't think this is possible, at least not using TextPad.
Running TextPad 5.4 on Windows XP SP3 and on OS X 10.7 under VMWare or Crossover.

Did you have any sort of specific naming standard you want to follow for your files, e.g.,

file1.txt
file2.txt
....
file1000.txt
