Regex Tagger

It would be great to have a feature that converts plain text into tags as need may be.

For example, I have some text between {1>paired tags rendered as plain text<1} and {2>another portion of text between next paired tags<2}. Now I want {anynumber> to be converted to 'opening tag', and <anynumber} to 'closing tag'. Or convert {anytext} to a 'single tag'. Is it possible?

It would be useful to extend the Regex File Tagger to handle further file types, in particular Word and Excel.

Paul (pfilkin) a follow-up on Stepan's comment is worthy, I believe. MemoQ has a Regex tagger which is very handy and useful. Any similar functionality in Trados?

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your suggestion, but no, it just converts fixed/same words to placeholders. However it cannot convert 'any text between parentheses' to a tag and then retrieve the same original 'any text between parentheses' when saving as target. (Or I could not find a way to do that.)

– It can convert 'Contoso' to 'Contoso' and then revert it back to 'Contoso'.

– It cannot convert ($7,000,000) and (16,901,654.09) to 'Amount tag' and 'Amount tag' and then revert it back to ($7,000,000) and (16,901,654.09).

Did you try the Cleanup Task app from the appstore? That can probably do what you need.
