I'm assuming you mean:

Hi

I am not sure I am in the right thread, though it's about regex.
I have several regex that I use on my EPUB with Sigil on all html files.

For example:

F & R 1
([A-Z])
\1

F & R 2
((.[^ ]{0,20}[ ]){4})
\1

I would like some advice about the simplest way to chain these two regexes (and presumably more). To play 1 and after 2.

Out of building a new program (which is way beyond my abilities), I have absolutely no idea how to do it, but it would be pretty useful for me.

not the answer to your chain question, but.

Code:

<p class="let"><span class="let1"><span class="let2">\1</span></span>

can be written as

Code:

<p class="let"><span class="let1 let2">\1</span>

I'll try a shot

Code:

<p class="let">([A-Z])((.[^ ]{0,20}[ ]){4})
<p class="let"><span class="let1"><span class="let2">\1</span></span><span class="smcpTypeV">\2</span>

It's not tested though, and there are nested () which should be \2.

If iunderstand correctly, you're looking for a word after "", then you format the first letter someway and the rest in an other way, right ? Can you give a text-sample ?

Perkin · 04-08-2012, 05:10 AM

Are the two 's in the find of the second action the ones put there by the replace of the first action, i.e. you're working on the same paragraph. ?

Edit: (missed mmat1 post, while typing)
If it's for first letter stuff, what about if desired paragraph starts with a quotemark of some sort, do you want that taken into consideration?

Edit 2:
And are all these paragraphs going to have several words, or could some be just 2 or 3 - I see you've got a {4} set in there.

roger64 · 04-08-2012, 05:30 AM

Thanks for your answers.

Some needed comments maybe:

These two regex are about dropcaps, but I have others...

FR1 is to deal with the first letter of a paragraph named let (no indent). It begins after and it creates a double span, finishing with after the first capital letter.

FR2 specifies the number of words to use after the first letter (here 4). It begins with the characteristic and builds itw own span. I have both A et V styles with different margin-left values.

@theducks I took good note of your remark.

There is no quotemark problem at least for me. When I select a paragraph to have a dropcap, I make sure it begins with a capital letter. :firstletter anyway does not work with ADE so there is no automatic mode for this.

text sample coming...

Perkin · 04-08-2012, 05:48 AM

Without testing, using your regexes from above, and could pobably fine-tune a bit.

Search

Code:

<p class="let">([A-Z])((.[^ ]{0,20}[ ]){4})

Replace

Code:

<p class="let"><span class="let1 let2">\1</span><span class="smcpTypeV">\2</span>

roger64 · 04-08-2012, 05:52 AM

I sent the epub with one dropcap but I forgot something, here is a better one with true smallcaps (best seen with ADE)

sorry

I test your regex

I've seen it, but meanwhile i tested this:

Code:

<p class="let">([A-Z])(\w{0,20}\s)((\w{0,20}\s){3})

<p class="let"><span class="let1 let2">\1</span><span class="smcpTypeV">\2\3</span>

It handles the first 4 words of an "let"-paragraph. (Perkins suggestion built in) Maybe you give it a try.

roger64 · 04-08-2012, 06:08 AM

@mmat No, getting strange results..
@Perkin No, same as above.

Sending the source odt as well

Perkin · 04-08-2012, 06:09 AM

I've found a problem/difference with replacing once and replacing all, using both my and mmat1's replace strings, when doing a step replace the last space is inside the span, but just doing a replace all, the last space is outside it.

Just posting a report in 0.5.3 release thread.

It's maybe just tidy ??

Perkin · 04-08-2012, 06:18 AM

Using your epub and concatenating the two let1/2 styles and removing the now extraneous , I get a odd result as well, so it's not the actual regex, it's the css

looking into it.

@mmat1, tidy is off, and even if on shouldn't alter that anyway.
