    Hi all,

    I am trying to expand xref rid value based on specific reference type. I am trying to create a script which is attached.

    Sample input:

    Code: Select all

    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_33">33</xref>&#x2013;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_39">39</xref>
    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_33">Refs. 33</xref>&#x2013;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_39">39</xref>
    The output after script execution is:

    Code: Select all

    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_33 ref2_34 ref2_35 ref2_36 ref2_37 ref2_38 ref2_39">33&#x2013;39</xref>
    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="">Refs. 33&#x2013;39</xref>
    The expected output should be:

    Code: Select all

    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_33 ref2_34 ref2_35 ref2_36 ref2_37 ref2_38 ref2_39">33&#x2013;39</xref>
    <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2_33 ref2_34 ref2_35 ref2_36 ref2_37 ref2_38 ref2_39">Refs. 33&#x2013;39</xref>
    Can anyone help me...

      Sorry for not providing initially the expected output which is added now to my first post.

      The main purpose of the script is to link all the range links linked separately in the file together and expand the RID value of the xref link.

      I have some more examples below:

      Code: Select all

          The script works very well with small files but has a big problem with large files, most of my files are over 2.5 MB in size.

          In some cases this script is not working properly. Below is an example:

          Code: Select all

          -----------------------------
          <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2.5A">Figs. 2.5(A)</xref>-<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2.5D">(D)</xref>
          s/b
          <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2.5A fig2.5B fig2.5C fig2.5D">Figs. 2.5(A)-(D)</xref>
          -----------------------------
          <xref ref-type="book-part" rid="appi">App. i</xref> to <xref ref-type="book-part" rid="appv">v</xref>
          s/b
          <xref ref-type="book-part" rid="appi appii appiii appiv appv">App. i to v</xref>
          -----------------------------
          <xref ref-type="book-part" rid="part9">Parts 9</xref>&#x2013;<xref ref-type="book-part" rid="part11">11</xref>
          s/b
          <xref ref-type="book-part" rid="part9 part10 part11">Parts 9&#x2013;11</xref>
          -----------
          When extracting the numeric part of the RID it is not necessary to extract the prefix part of the RID, an update is needed for both upper/lower to work for Roman and Alphabet.

            New variants like app and part or Roman numerals in lower case or figures with an upper case letter require of course further enhancements of the script to support these variants too. I am wondering myself why you could not make these enhancements by yourself as that was easy to do.

            I ran the script with all the examples copied together into a single file with replicating the examples until the file size increased to 3.010.689 bytes with 55243 lines. UltraEdit v2024.0.0.35 produced with the script in two seconds the resulting file with 2.880.954 bytes. App. i to v becomes Apps. i to v which I changed already in the input file too. I used next a Perl regular expression find with search expression ^(<xref.*)$\r\ns/b\r\n(?!\1).*\r\n for verification if all the modifications were done correct by the script in memory of built-in JavaScript engine.

            The attached ZIP file contains the once more enhanced script file and the input and output files used for testing the script. The enhancements can be seen easily by comparing with command Compare… in UltraEdit using UltraCompare Lite / Professional the opened script files expand_rid_in_xml_v2.js and expand_rid_in_xml_v3.js.
