Update: Most of the post ramains true, but make sure you download these scripts from the SF.net repository.
In this post I want to share three scripts that can do an extended search and replace in OmegaT project. Search and replace templates for each script are specified in external plain text files located in project’s root folder, so these scripts without any modifications can be used for different projects with different sets of search and replace patterns — the user needs to modify only those plain text files as needed. On top of text modification there is a possibility to do a simple math on what is being found by the script thus enabling the user to have a per project unit converter.
Each script should be accompanied by its own external file located in a subfolder named .ini in the project’s root (details under each script further on). The format of these files is the same for all three:
- Only one empty line in the file — the very last one
- Each line consists of tree blocks:
- Search pattern (regex aware)
- Tab
- Replace pattern
So, if you need to replace “Владимир Владимирович” (taking into consideration different cases of Russian nouns) with “the President of Russian Federation“, here’s what you need to specify in the substitution file:
Владимир\p{L}?+\sВладимирович\p{L}?+ the President of Russian Federation Continue reading
