Regular Expression Result Counts

To run the Regular Expression Result Counts

  • Open the .sam or .scml file on which to run the tool.
  • In Sublime, navigate to Scribe Inc. > Check > Regular Expression Results Counts.

This tool will run all of the regular expressions from the Regular Expressions Resource.

A new file will open with the results. Any search that yielded results will appear in the file along with the number of matches found.

Regular Expression Results from File

Configuring Regular Expression Results from File

  • In Sublime, navigate to Preferences > Browse Packages.
  • Enter the subfolder User.
  • Create a folder under User called scribe-regex-results-custom.
  • In this folder, place any custom search text files.

Creating/Editing Custom Regular Expression Results Files

  • Create a .txt file. To add a search, start a line with **Find: ** (including a space after the colon), followed by the regular expression.
  • Other lines can appear in this file to help instruct the user, but only lines beginning with “Find: ” will be treated as a search.
  • Place the file in the scribe-regex-results-custom folder.

Example:

Find: <fig>(.*)
Find: <xref idref="in([^<]*)">([^<]*)</xref>

Running the Tool.

This works similarly to the Regular Expression Results Count feature, but it reads the search expressions from the customized local file instead of the Regular Expressions Resource page.

  • Open the .sam or .scml file on which to run the tool.
  • In Sublime, navigate to Scribe Inc. > Check > Regular Expression Results from File.
  • A dropdown list will appear with all of the .txt files saved in the scribe-regex-results-custom folder. Select the file with the searches to be run.

A new file will open with the results. Any search that yielded results will appear in the file along with the number of matches found.
