Help needed for regular expression replace

Submitted by bagazsi on Thursday, 1 February, 2007 - 12:35

I should like to manipulate text files containing several TITLE lines. The format of title is: TITLE "" I have to add a few number of new text rows after all title lines. I've tried it with Regular expression replace. The search for line is TITLE " the Replace with is TITLE "$1 addition of new text I've got the following error message: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``__internal_replace(ns) { this.callstack.set(0,ns); return ( TITLE "$1 add . . . '' Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 3, column 22. Encountered: "\n" (10), after : "\"$1": Could anybody help me with the right syntax, or have a good idea to solve my problem? Thanks in advance, Gaspar

Could you post an example of what the files look like, and how you want them to look?

eg.
[actual]
TITLE "This is my title"
The rest of the file content goes here.
[/actual]

[desired]
TITLE "This is my title"

The rest of the file content goes here.
[/desired]

Thanks, I think that'll help.

An example as required

actual:

DISC_ID "D1115811"
TITLE "Brahms - Symphonies"
FILE "Brahms Symphonies-Furtwängler - D1.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Ungarische Tänze-1. G minor (Allegro molto)"
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:33
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Ungarische Tänze-3. F major (Allegretto)"
INDEX 00 03:05:60
INDEX 01 03:05:63
...

desired:
DISC_ID "D1115811"
TITLE "Brahms - Symphonies"
FILE "Brahms Symphonies-Furtwängler - D1.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Ungarische Tänze-1. G minor (Allegro molto)"
GENRE "Classical"
YEAR "1949"
COMPOSER "Brahms"
CONDUCTOR "Furtwängler"
BAND "Wiener Philharmoniker"
INDEX 00 00:00:00
INDEX 01 00:00:33
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Ungarische Tänze-3. F major (Allegretto)"
GENRE "Classical"
YEAR "1949"
COMPOSER "Brahms"
CONDUCTOR "Furtwängler"
BAND "Wiener Philharmoniker"
INDEX 00 03:05:60
INDEX 01 03:05:63
...

As you see, I must insert the same GENRE, YEAR, COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR and BAND lines after every TITLE. The file is and must have UTF-8 encoding.

Regards,
Gaspar

Maybe.

Ok. Well, you could use this regex in the Search and Replace dialog.

[regex]
^(TITLE\s\"[^\"]+\")$
[/regex]

That should find you all the title lines.

You could then replace them with:

[replace]
$1\nGENRE "Classical"\nYEAR "1949"\nCOMPOSER "Brahms"\nCONDUCTOR "Furtwängler"\nBAND "Wiener Philharmoniker"
[/replace]

Hope that helps.
