I need help with using grep and regular expressions....
I have a long list of about 1000 lines of Chinese flashcards. Here's a small excerpt:
Code:
意文 yìwén (given name)
貴姓 guìxìng (honorable surname)
貴 guì (honorable)
姓 xìng (one's surname is; to be surnamed; surname)
呢 ne (interrogative particle)
叫 jiào (to be called; to call)
名字 míngzi (name)
syntax:
ChineseCharacter ChinesePinYin (EnglishTranslation)
(each has a space to separate it)
In order to import to my flashcards program on my iPod Touch, the information for each side should be seperated by tabs, and not spaces.
What regular expression will allow me to search for spaces outside the parenthesis and replace them with tabs (since I don't want the English text to be messed up)?
Any help is greatly appreciated .
Thanks,
Michael

I'm trying to parse RichText to XML. I want to be able to capture everything between the '/par' tag in the RTF but not include the tag itself. So far all I have is this, '.*?\\par' but it leaves '\par' at the end of it. Any suggestions? (1 Reply)

Hi,
In ksh, I am trying to compare folder names having -141- in it's name.
e.g.: 4567-141-8098 should match this expression '*-141-*'
but, -141-2354 should fail when compared with '*-141-*'
simlarly, abc should fail when compared with '*-141-*'
I tried multiple things but nevertheless,... (5 Replies)
what elements does " /^/ " match?
I did the test which indicates that it matches single lowercase character like 'a','b' etc. and '1','2' etc.
But I really confused with that. Because, "/^abc/" matches strings like "abcedf" or "abcddddee".
So, what does caret ^ really mean?

Hi All.
Attached are two files.
I ran a query and have the output as in the file with name "FILEWITHFOURRECORDS.txt "
I didn't want all the spaces between the columns so I squeezed the spaces with the "tr" command and also added a carriage return at the end of every line.
But in two... (3 Replies)
