| Automating an atypical search & replace |
| 13 Jul 24 11:08:48 |
From: rowlett@access.net
I'm reformatting some HTML files containing chapters of the KJV Bible.
My source follows the practice of italicizing some words.
I find italics distracting.
These occurrences are consistently of the form
arbitrary_text
I wish to delete "" and *ASSOCIATED* "".
Obviously it would not be wise to fully automate the action.
I wish to find all occurrences of arbitrary_text an manually confirm the edit.
In general, is it feasible?
Can KDE's Kate do it?
TIA
