Hi-
I was just wondering if there are there any good resources on the web for
regular expressions commands? After seeing this kind of stuff on the list, I
can only imagine the true power of them:
>
REReplace names pattern "(.+) ([0-9]+)\\.jpg" with "\\2.jpg \\1"
But I have no Idea what any of it means?
I currently have the Regular Expressions OSAX from Script Tools 1.3.6, but
am willing to look at others if they are better. Also, would BBEdit work for
this sort of thing?
Background:
I am trying to create a droplet that will make all HTML tags in a document
lowercase. i.e. <HTML> becomes <html> (among other things). If anyone knows
of any resources (scripts, apps) to do this I would be very appreciative,
but I still want to learn about Regular Expressions, if only for the
educational value.
This is my first real attempt at scripting anything useful, not just moving
folders around, etc.
