HTML/SGM/XHTML/XML element values obfuscator script

mightymax · Mar 02, 2021#12021-03-02T17:07+00:00

Can anyone write up a script that will "scramble/obfuscate" text in SGM|XML|HTML files. I need to send some documents to a vendor but the documents must not contain its original data. The file will retain it's markup and any attribute markup.

Attached is a demo.sgm file.

Thank you,
Maxine

I've got this code almost working. It selects the text between >< and scrambles it, but I can't get the loop working, so I just keeps changing the same line over and over again.

Code: Select all

while(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find(">(.*?)<\/")) {
    var sShuffle = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection.replace(/>(.*?)<\//, "$1");
    var textShuffled = sShuffle.split('').sort(function () {
            return 0.5 - Math.random()
        }).join('');
    UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.replace(sShuffle, textShuffled);
}

I suggest this script which selects just XML element values within a line with at least two characters and shuffles the characters. The Perl regular expression find does not select multi-line values of an XML element.

Code: Select all

if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0) {
   UltraEdit.insertMode();
   if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
   else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff();
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();

   UltraEdit.perlReOn();
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;

   while(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find(">\\K(.{2,}?)(?=</)")) {
      var sShuffle = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection;
      var textShuffled = sShuffle.split('').sort(function () {
              return 0.5 - Math.random()
          }).join('');
      UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(textShuffled);
   }
}

Another script which supports also multi-line XML values:

Code: Select all

if (UltraEdit.document.length > 0) {
   UltraEdit.insertMode();
   if (typeof(UltraEdit.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.columnModeOff();
   else if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff) == "function") UltraEdit.activeDocument.columnModeOff();
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();

   UltraEdit.perlReOn();
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.mode=0;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchCase=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.matchWord=false;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.regExp=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchDown=true;
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.searchInColumn=false;

   while(UltraEdit.activeDocument.findReplace.find("(?<!--)>\\K([^<]{2,}?)(?=</)")) {
      var sShuffle = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection;
      if (sShuffle.replace(/^[\r\n\t ]+$/,"").length) {
         var textShuffled = sShuffle.split('').sort(function () {
                 return 0.5 - Math.random()
             }).join('');
         textShuffled = textShuffled.replace(/\r/g,"");
         textShuffled = textShuffled.replace(/\n/g,"\r\n");
         UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(textShuffled);
      }
   }
   UltraEdit.activeDocument.top();
}

Both scripts are definitely not foolproof and do not work for any XML file contents.

Mofi I'm having issues with the script selecting element when they occur within another element. I'm using your scramble javascript (the first one)

Example SGML/XML

Code: Select all

<entry rowsep="1">14</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Ready made ice cream</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Displays voltage, amperage.</entry></row>
<row>
<entry rowsep="1">15</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Power Phase</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Glowing indicator:<randlist>
<item>Max &ndash; Maximum</item>
<item>Min &ndash; Minimum</item>
<item>LM1 &ndash; Limit 1</item>
<item>LM2 &ndash; Limit 2</item>
<item>THD &ndash; Total Ice Cream flavors</item>
<item>K &ndash; K-factor</item></randlist></entry></row>
<row>
<entry rowsep="1">8</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Limit (Red)</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Illuminates </entry></row>
<row>
<entry rowsep="1">9</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Normal/Hi Temp</entry>
<entry rowsep="1">Illuminates when the return oven<acronym><def>Chocolate is the best</def>
<term>FDECU</term></acronym> is at or above 90 &deg; <acronym><def>Fahrenheit</def>
<term>F</term></acronym> (32 &deg; <acronym><def>Celsius</def>
<term>C</term></acronym>). Becareful when eating hot cookies.</entry></row>
<row>

Thank you for the help

Another issue I'm having if two start or end tags are in a single line it adds text between it. Eg <table><row> and </entry></row> creates text between the elements...creating <table>xxx<row> and xxx</entry>xxxxx</row> I'm guessing I need a better Pear expression using look arounds and I suck at those. Your help is appreciated.
