I am reviewing some XML files where I need to check whether all sections, figures, tables, bibliographical references have been properly tagged or not.
I consolidated all links in a single file and I am reviewing them.

ALL SECTION LINKS:

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss3">Section 3</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2-7">Section 2.7</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="sec" rid="ss2">Section 2</xref>

ALL FIGURE LINKS:

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2A</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2B</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3A</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">B</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>

ALL TABLE LINKS:

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 2</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="t1">Table 1</xref>

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCE LINKS:

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">[1</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b3">3]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">[4</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">[5</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">[8</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">[10</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13">13]</xref>

I am looking for a pattern to detect if a figure/table/section/reference has been tagged incorrectly or not and if found find/replace with the correct one.
For example:

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 1</xref>

is incorrect and needs to be

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>

Same for tables, sections and bibliographical references.

A quickly recorded macro solution:

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
Top
PerlReOn
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="sec" rid=").*?(">Section )(\d+)<"
Replace All "\1ss\3\2\3<"
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="sec" rid=").*?(">Section )(\d+)\.(\d+)<"
Replace All "\1ss\3-\4\2\3.\4<"
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="fig" rid=").*?(">Fig. )(\d+)"
Replace All "\1f\3\2\3"
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="table" rid=").*?(">Table )(\d+)"
Replace All "\1t\3\2\3"
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="bibr" rid=").*?(">\[)(\d+)"
Replace All "\1b\3\2\3"
Find MatchCase RegExp "(ref-type="bibr" rid=").*?(">)(\d+)\]"
Replace All "\1b\3\2\3]"

The Perl regular expression replaces modify all references even if nothing needs to be changed for a reference and therefore nothing really changed on a line. But that does not matter.

The macro does not contain a solution for <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">B</xref>. This reference is not found.

Instead of trying out the code suggested by you, I figured out an alternative solution.

Let's say I am checking whether all bibliographical references have been properly tagged or not and I have the following content to check.
[Please observe that the second and the fourth entries are incorrect.]

File name(A.xml)

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">[1</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">3]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4">[4</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">7]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">[5</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">[8</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9]</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">[10</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13">13]</xref>

Steps:

Step 1: Replace

Code: Select all

">

with

Code: Select all

">^p

.
Step 2: Find by

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b[0-9]+

and copy the contents to a new file(content below)

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b4
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13

In the new file, replace

Code: Select all

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b

with none. We would be left with the following content:

Code: Select all

Copy-paste the contents on a fresh excel worksheet.

Step 3: Go back to A.xml where we are left with the following content:

Code: Select all

">
[1</xref>
">
3]</xref>
">
[4</xref>
">
7]</xref>
">
[5</xref>
">
6]</xref>
">
[8</xref>
">
9]</xref>
">
[10</xref>
">
13]</xref>

Replace

Code: Select all

">

with none.
Replace

Code: Select all

</xref>

with none.
Replace

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

with none. *We need to ensure that the Regular Expressions: UltraEdit option is checked off during the last two replaces.*
We would be left with the following content:

Code: Select all

Copy-paste the contents just like we did earlier. Refer the screenshot below:

We just need to compare the values in the two columns. Screenshots below

Just a quick one.

Perform all operations on an.XML file in UE.

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();

 var size1 = '<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b'.length;
 var size2 = '</xref>'.length;

 // Move caret to top of the active file.
 UltraEdit.activeDocument.selectAll();
 if ( UltraEdit.activeDocument.isSel() ) {
 var sLineTerm = "\r\n";
 if (typeof(UltraEdit.activeDocument.lineTerminator) == "number") {
 if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.lineTerminator == 1) sLineTerm = "\n";
 else if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.lineTerminator == 2) sLineTerm = "\r";
 }
 var asLines = UltraEdit.activeDocument.selection.split( sLineTerm );

 // Find lines with same terms as on another line and remove them.
 for ( var nLine = 0; nLine < ( asLines.length - 1 ); nLine++) {
 if ( asLines[nLine].match( '<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b[0-9]+' ) ) {
 var _t = asLines[nLine].substring( size1, asLines[nLine].length - size2 );
 _t = _t.replace( /\[/g, '' );
 _t = _t.replace( /\]/g, '' );
 var _arrT = _t.split( '">' );
 if ( _arrT.length != 2 )
 UltraEdit.activeDocument.write( "Error" + sLineTerm );
 else
 if ( _arrT[0] == _arrT[1] )
 UltraEdit.activeDocument.write( "correct " + _arrT[0] + " = " + _arrT[1] + sLineTerm );
 else
 UltraEdit.activeDocument.write( "wrong " + _arrT[0] + " = " + _arrT[1] + sLineTerm );
 }
 }
 }
}
