Re: REQ: Regular Expressions in
With a text editor I like to create web documents that can read even with the text-only browser lynx, and which are W3C compliant, and which can be easily copy-pasted without modification back to Google Groups if I want to quote my own text from the FAQs or from the news quotes pages: http://gpsgfaq.googlepages.com/index.html http://gpsgfaq.googlepages.com/groups_faq.html http://gpsgfaq.googlepages.com/news_quotes_google.html So I'm now copy-pasting my articles from my Google Groups postings, which are mostly posted to the google.public.support.general forum (most of them have been saved to text files, so I don't need to search for them one-by-one from the forum): http://groups.google.com/group/google.public.support.general/topics to HTML files as another archive to my own Google Page Creator web site. Maximum line length for Google Groups postings is about 71 characters: http://groups.google.com/group/Groups-Test-Group/msg/ac5f60b14a055717 But just in case the Google Groups line length limit changes, I'm using 70 characters. I have used TED Notepad to make every line 70 characters long at maximum, but TED Notepad adds a space to the end of paragraphs, so the "70 character" lines become 71 character lines. So, I needed to use OpenOffice.org to replace 2239 occurrences of space & break with tabs and then delete the tabs from the file (the file itself is not quite ready yet at the moment, but I thought you would like to see an example what I'm talking about -- the spaces at the end of paragraph lines have already been removed, so you can't see them): http://gpsgfaq.googlepages.com/news_quotes_google_2006.html By hand that would have been a bit tedious. :)
