Quick way to format this?
I have a document that is around 50,000 lines long, and I want to turn it into an organized thing people can read. This is the format it is in at the moment:
Code:
over.push([true,'Floating Devil', ,shop[8],0,mi[21],option[1],false]); over.push([true,'Floating Angel', ,shop[8],0,mi[20],option[1],false]); over.push([true,'Floating Devil 2', ,shop[8],0, mi[21],option[1],false]); over.push([true,'Floating Angel 2', ,shop[8],0, mi[20],option[1],false]); over.push([true,'Notes', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]); over.push([true,'Heartsurroundings', ,shop[8],0,mi[13],option[1], true]); over.push([true,'Valentine Bubble', ,shop[8],0,mi[13],option[1], true]); over.push([true,'Flying Bats', ,shop[8],0,mi[3],option[1], true]); over.push([true,'Fire Phoenix Flames', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]); over.push([true,'Water Phoenix Flames', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]); over.push([true,'Wind Leaves', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]); over.push([true,'Snowflakes', ,shop[2],450,mi[0],option[0], true]); over.push([true,'Night Stars', ,shop[0],700,mi[0],option[0], true]); Notes - shop[2] - 450 Wind Leaves - shop[2] - 450 Snowflakes - shop[2] - 450 Night Stars - shop[0] - 700 Would there be any faster way of doing this (Using find and replace? I can't figure out how to do it right, with wildcards and all,) than doing it manually? I have tried, but everytime I try to use wildcards I mess it up. Any step-by-steps? The work is for a website I am working on. I wont say the specifics, but I made a spider that collected the data, but it could only churn it out in the first format. I need to make it into the second so my viewers would be capable of reading it. |

Quick way to format this?
Use a macro containing the following code:
Dim i As Long With ActiveDocument For i = .Paragraphs.Count To 1 Step -1 If InStr(.Paragraphs(i).Range.Text, "mi[0]") = 0 Then .Paragraphs(i).Range.Delete Else With .Paragraphs(i).Range .Text = Mid(.Text, InStr(.Text, "true") + 6) .Text = Left(.Text, InStr(.Text, ",mi[0]") - 1) & vbCr .Text = Replace(.Text, "', ,", " - ") .Text = Replace(.Text, ",", " - ") End With End If Next i End With -- Hope this helps.

Quick way to format this?
This works in W2007:
Select the whole list. Click sort Options. Select the "Other" radio button and enter a hyphen in the box. Back in the Sort Text dialog, set the sort by to "Field 2"and click OK. If that won't work with your version , this longer method should:Temporarily replace the hyphens with tabs (^t). Convert the tabbed list to a three- column table. Sort the table on the second column. Then convert the table back to a tabbed list and replace the tabs with hyphens. Pam Jgrant wrote: Sorry for the absense. Life caught up with me for a bit. Thank you so much for the macro. I have another question: Would you happen to know a way that I could get it to take all th lines that contain shop[1], and group all them together. Then I ca repeat that for shop[2], shop[3], etc, and have them all grouped tha way? I've been doing it manually, and it's a pain.
