texte = Hi,I am having a bit of an issue with Grep and special characters. I am tryingto strip of the + character from a number, while replacing it with 0.Basically changing an international phone number, into the local form (eg:+6129999999 -> 0299999999).I read the BBedit notes for grep, applied those principles, but its stillnot working.It works for the * character:[text show=t]number=*61414200200[/text]
[text show=t]number=[grep search=^\*?61&replace=0][number][/grep][/text]>>output>>*614142002000414200200But not for the + character:[text show=t]number= +61414200200[/text]
[text show=t]number=[grep search=^\+?61&replace=0][number][/grep][/text]>>output>>+61414200200+61414200200According to BBedit, they are both similar types of special characters, andthe way to escape special characters is with a \. But I don't get why thisisn't working. Any ideas?Thanks,RajBBEdit Grep Tutorial: http://www.anybrowser.org/bbedit/grep.shtml-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
