Match Odd Numbers

[jeff.roller]

I need to find matching odd page numbers within a line of text like this:

Code: Select all

XXXRSZ    Printed:   Run:  05:00 PM  06/14/2011     Page:    13 of     13     Info:      000111030001

OR

Code: Select all

HRDDFF    Printed:   Run:  05:10 PM  06/14/2011     Page:    9  of     9      Info:      088319391101

- it will always start with

Code: Select all

Page:

- next 7 characters will be whitespace with an odd number
- next will be

Code: Select all

of

- next 12 characters will be whitespace with a matching odd number

Any help is appreciated! Thanks. -jeff

Use "Posix" regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

Search | Find... (<F5>):

Find what: Page: +([0-9]*[13579]) +of +\1 +

[X] Regular expression

Works perfectly!

What is the difference between regular expression and POSIX?

TextPad uses the term "Posix" to distinguish between two styles of syntax for regular expressions. See TextPad's help under
How to... | Find and Replace Text | Use Regular Expressions.

The term "Posix" is a misnomer here: the Posix standard defines two syntax styles and semantics of regular expressions -- basic and extended. The setting in TextPad affects the syntax only; it doesn't affect the expressive power of TextPad's regular expressions (which is weak by current standards).

The syntax style that TextPad calls "Posix" tends to produce more readable regular expressions.
