Re: grep is really pathetic sometimes

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 51322
interpreted = N
texte = This will work: [grep search=^([0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z])([0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z])[^ ]*&replace=\1/\2/][SK U][/grep] because grep doesn't exactly 'pull out' portions of the text, it just 'replaces' it. So I added "[^ ]*" to basically mask the remaining text and replace with only "\1/\2/". I'm not sure how it applies to your entire scenario since you might have 'spaces' in your SKU values, but you can use any character. Such as "[^§]*" etc. Raj ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Peacock" To: "WebDNA Talk" Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: Re: grep is really pathetic sometimes > Rajeev Kumar wrote: > > [Text show=T]SKU=TROUTPRINT.JPG[/Text]
