Multiple searc-replace

[speek]

Hi all,

I do have 1 ascii file with > 5.000 lines.
There are hundreds characters present with accent-marks (é ë ü etc).
Search-replace each individual accent-mark (more then 60 diffent types present) by it's equivalent without the accent-mark is rather time consuming.
Is there an easy way to solve this?

You could reduce it to one replace for all accented e, one replace for all accented a, ...

Search with regex checked for
[éèê]
replace by
e

Next search with regex checked for
[áàâä]
replace by
a

and so on.

Something like this should do what you want in a single step:

Search | Replace... (<F8>):

Find what: ([àáâãäå])|([èéêë])|([ìíîï])|([òóôõöø])|([ùúûü])
Replace with: (?1a)(?2e)(?3i)(?4o)(?5u)

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

(Look in TextPad's help in the section Reference Information | Replacement Format Strings under the heading Conditionals.)

But it doesn't work.

I have pointed out to TextPad's developers why it doesn't work, and they say they will fix it in the next release.
