Help! txt to epub conversion markup: linked notes - Page 2

Sylver · 02-25-2011, 02:00 PM

Thank you so much for all your help, Perkin, after that fix, I got it work with both my nook and the iPad. The original text file is actually UTF-8 encoded Chinese, and your S&R regular expression still works (luckily, the notes are numbered in western numeric characters, not Chinese numbers which I would have no idea how to write a search string at all).

You're welcome.
I wouldn't have a clue either.

yeah, I actually had to modify your script a little bit, the second search "(\S+)\[(\d+)\]" only matched part of the intended main text notes numbers, I had to add an extra space before [ in the text file first, then use "^\s\[(\d+)\](\S+)" and "(\S+)\s\[(\d+)\]" to match all that I wanted to match, I guess some Chinese characters immediately before the "[" sign in the main text had screwed up the search. But it's not a big issue for me to do several passes of global S&R. Again, appreciate your help a lot.
