search and replace
[total novice here]
Hi, I have a series of expressions like this (shortened from verbose xml) ===================== [<text:sequence text:ref-name="refAutoNr0">1</text:sequence> [<text:sequence text:ref-name="refAutoNr1">2</text:sequence> [<text:sequence text:ref-name="refAutoNr2">3</text:sequence> [<text:sequence text:ref-name="refAutoNr3">4</text:sequence> ===================== I want to globally replace each such line with just ==================== \head ==================== followed by a line space so I get ==================== \head \head \head \head ==================== etc. I am modifying a script with lines like ==================== data.gsub!(/.*?<(office:text).*?>(.*?)<\/\1>.*/mois) do '\starttext' + "\n" + $2 + "\n" + '\stoptext' ==================== and don't yet know enough to completely understand. Probably a few more hours/days of study will get me there but I need this urgently so... THNX in advance Best Idris |

The pattern you're searching for seems to be a complete element, why not use <insert XML parser of choice> and XPath? With REXML, it should be something like: document.elements.each('//text:sequence') {|sequence| sequence.replace_with(REXML::Text.new("\\head\n", true))} Substitute the XPath expression with one of desired precision. I'm a little unsure around how REXML treats namespaces in XPath and such, but if you know what prefix will be used in the document, that should work ou= t. The script might also require a little more massaging if you're outputting to plaintext, but treating XML like, well, XML might get the heavy lifting of searching for patterns in it done faster if you use a pattern language operating on the DOM structure directly.

Re: search and replace
Thank you, David, for your pointers. I'm still very much a novice (at
the level of Chris Pine's Learn to Program) so I could not follow them all, but I do hope to learn more fast. I just sent a follow-up with more detail, including the script I'm trying to modify; I hope you have a chance to look at it...
