RegExp with multiple \\b word and @substitute
Hello there,
I am trying to parse a series of texts and replace some words with others, by using RegExp with \\b and @substitute.
At present I need to scan the texts and see if they contain any or more instances of quite a large group of words (above 2000 words altogether).
For this reason I have concatenated a long series of RegExp objects. (see example)
This is working, however it will take me a very long time to write hundreds of RegExp objects, each one with its specific word to de identified and word to be replaced with.
Does anyone know if there is a quicker dynamic method by which I can use jus one (or few) RegExp objects and simply have:
The texts to be parsed (that's fine)
- A one list of Awords, to be searched for
- B one list of words to replace the Awords if found?
Thank you so much in advance for your tim and help.
All the best
MM
Instead of [regexp] you could use a loop with the [substitute] object.
That's great! I didn't know of [Substitute], thanks for sending the patch over!!!!
I am connecting a coll to it, and looping the source text, so that it goes through each word that needs to be checked and eventually replaced. Thank you so much!
