    Greeting form Seoul!

    I have a huge text file. And I have to change the whole text file.
    please help me..
    Original text has footnotes, and thoses are ascending alphabetical order by chapter, but I would like to change the footnote to alphabetical order by verse.
    In ohter words, when the verse changes, then renumbering the footnote form a,b,c should be applied.

    Is it possible?
    It could be very helpful if it could possible.


    --- orginal text ----
    \v 1 Genealogie de Jesus-Christ, fils de \x a \xo David, fils d’Abraham. \x b \xo Abraham engendra Isaac ;

    \v 2 \x c \xo Isaac engendra Jacob ; \x d \xo Jacob engendra Juda et ses freres ; \x e \xo Juda engendra de Thamar Phares et Zara

    ---- wanted result---------
    \v 1 Genealogie de Jesus-Christ, fils de \x a \xo David, fils d’Abraham. \x b \xo Abraham engendra Isaac ;

    \v 2 \x a \xo Isaac engendra Jacob ; \x b \xo Jacob engendra Juda et ses freres ; \x c \xo Juda engendra de Thamar Phares et Zara

      With a script this could be done very easily. With a macro it would be very hard to do this because incrementing the letter is very hard to code with a macro, but very easy with a script.

      Have you read the sticky forum topic Help for new forum members - read this before post anywhere!

      There you can read that most important for us to help other users is the version of UltraEdit. Scripts are only supported with UltraEdit v13.00 or later. As long as you don't tell use the version of UE you use, nobody would spent time to write the script for that job.

        My college has Ultraedit 13. and he ask for the job.

        In stead of him, I post the question.

        Making script is very hard for me.

        Thanks in advance.

          I'm a beginner for scripts, but I hope following script works for you. It works for your example. Tested with UltraEdit v13.10a+1. You need at least v13.10.

          Code: Select all

          /* Script to change
          
          \v 1 Genealogie de Jesus-Christ, fils de \x a \xo David, fils d’Abraham. \x b \xo Abraham engendra Isaac ; 
          
          \v 2 \x c \xo Isaac engendra Jacob ; \x d \xo Jacob engendra Juda et ses freres ; \x e \xo Juda engendra de Thamar Phares et Zara
