Woudl like to see another switch added to RegEx that would create a text file of the array values. Would like the option of the BEFORE file and the AFTER file, or Both files when a replacement happens.
Example:
RegEx>pattern,text,easypatterns,matches_array,num_matches,replace_flag[,replace_string,replace_result, ArrayFile]
The optional ArrayFile parameter would have a value of Found,Modified,Both.
If ArrayFile = Found it would be a list of match_1...Match_num_matches, each value on a line with the num_match value as a prefix.
If ArrayFile = Modified it would be a list of the modified replacement match_1...Match_n, each value on a line with the n as a prefix.
If ArrayFile = Both then both files would be created. Default location would be %Script_DIR%, but ability for user definition. Names = RegEXBefore.txt and RegExAfter.txt
Here is a sample of a Found file of matches from a web site page:
1 - Court System:
2 - Case Number:
3 - Tracking No:
4 - Case Type:
5 - District Code:
Here is a sample of the same array after a replacement string to extract and capitalize the results:
1 - COURT SYSTEM
2 - CASE NUMBER
3 - TRACKING NO,
4 - CASE TYPE
5 - DISTRICT CODE
I know it is possible to write a loop to cycle and create the files. I have done that many times today. It would be very convenient to have the option to have the files created automatically when the RegEx is run.
