I have read certain threads about how to deal with .strings file types & was able to extract strings from it but the below type of strings are omitted by SDL & not extracted that text:

"alert.logout.confirmation.message" = "Are you sure you want to logout from \"%@\"?";   (not extracted)

"alert.logout.confirmation.confirm" = "Yes, logout"; (extracted)

This is almost certainly down to the filetype you have created for this.  You need something like this:

Opening Pattern

".+"\s=\s"

Closing Pattern

";

That should pick up what you're after.  Then maybe something like this for the placeholders:

\\"%@\\"

Or... perhaps?

\\".+?\\"

This is my document structure:

opening pattern: "[^"]*"\s*=\s*"(?=[^"]*"\s*;)
closing pattern: "\s*;

so what you have mentioned I have to add here...


opening pattern: ".+"\s=\s" "[^"]*"\s*=\s*"(?=[^"]*"\s*;)
closing pattern: "; "\s*;

No.  Don't add the expression I gave you, use it instead!
