Paul and Anthony, I have a similar, yet different issue here, if I may.

I'd like to match the space (\s) + whatever the text until the first occurence of "içinde", and then move this string just after the "olarak,"

I tried to visualise it as below:

This is the actual text:

Bileşik 001a şema 11'in adım 65'inde bildirilen usule uygun olarak, metil 5-(2-((7-(2-(((tert-butoksi)amino)trimetil)piridin-4-il)-2-izobutilbenzofuran-5-il)metoksi)fenil)asetat'tan (21b) (200 mg, 0,349 mmol) DCM (20 mL) içinde, TFA (5,269 mL, 8,49 mmol) kullanılarak hazırlanmıştır.

(Content changed not to violate any right if any.)

I'd very much appreciate if you could offer a solution.

Hi all again,

As you might have discerned from this example, post editing (syntax change operations) target text segments by Trados Find & Replace or possibly by AHK scripts, while keeping tags in place is an unmet requirement currently in the industry.

Please somebody prove otherwise, I need such kind of requirements so often in my projects,

Regards everyone

If you are really determined, and brave enough, you could do the regex operation directly on the sdlxliff files.  Then the tags will be incorporated as they are essentially just characters and not protected as they are in Studio.  I have not tested this, nor am I going to, but if you have a play with your newfound knowledge I'm sure you will be able to do this.  A decent text editor could also support doing this across multiple files.

You should also make your request for this to be something available in the product in the ideas site rather than just here in a thread on regex:

Interesting offer, I will try that and will create a request in ideas section. Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Hi Paul,

I was determined and brave enough to create a sample file and test it :) I ran a find&replace operation on the xml code and saved. I opened the project and success. Syntax changed without harming tags. Thank you for your offer.

Nice!  It's a good example of where a little regex knowledge can take you a long way and save a lot of work.

Why didn't we think about external review in the 1st place? It did the trick.
