Support and Feedback / Re: Find & Replace or MultiScript to edit & output XML?
« on: November 05, 2022, 14:57:20 »
Thanks for the reply Mathias.
CSV is original source of search & replace terms; XML is target. (I just copied CSV columns of data out to the F&R dialog, & gave it xml as target.)
I've listed the 'original operation' with CSV & XML labels as I wondered if MultiScript could handle those formats instead of using F&R for the job.
Basically I can exclude the CSV by transferring all the data to F&R input & output fields.
F&R seeing XML as TXT is not a problem as no formatting is altered.
It seems to work if all search terms are found.
So I guess the error must be because there is no 100% match between all CSV terms & all XML targets.
Problem is all XMLs are different i.e. not all terms are in all XMLs. Because of this I need an EITHER OR function,
EITHER search / find/ replace
OR search / not find
THEN search next term in list
REPEAT til end of list.
I want to be able to step over non-matches or matches that have already been made.... I know this is possible but maybe not via MC.
