If the numbers are separated from text by a tab stop, you could use it for segmentation. However, if the numbers are not separated from text, it might be hard. You cannot simply segment on numbers, because numbers are also elements within segments.

You could try to add the following regex to your segmentation rules before segmenting the files, it might work:

The idea behind is to capture only digits or a combination of digits and dots at the beginning of the segment.

The regex is ^(?:\d\.?)+?\s and a simple dot (.) after break.

Hi Jerzy,

Thanks for your help and for the explanation.

I finally got round to trying it and it works! :-)
It turns each group of digits at the start of the sentence into a separate segment, so it doesn't interfere with my TM anymore.

Thanks a lot!!

Could you explain the regex to me, or point me in the right direction to find the appropriate dictionary for each regex element you used?

Hi Joris Lenstra,

In this website https://regexper.com/ you can paste any regular expression (well, many of them) and get a graphical explanation of it.

Regarding this particular regex:

Hi Jesús,

Thanks for the link. Very helpful.

I did some research on a couple of Regex pages this morning and I managed to figure the syntax out.

Thank you for the useful link Jesús Prieto.
I understand this is not a proper place for my question, but while you are here... Can you please suggest a regex for replacing a set of lowercase words to get same words with first letter in uppercase? So far I do it in 4 steps:
1. Find: '(\bвы\b|\bвас\b|\bвам\b|\bвами\b|\bваш\b|\bваша\b|\bваше\b|\bвашего\b|\bвашей\b|\bвашему\b|\bвашу\b|\bвашим\b|\bвашем\b|\bваши\b|\bваших\b|\bвашими\b)'
2. Then I replace it with 'В$1'
3. Then I replace 'Вв' with 'В', case sensitive
4. Then I replace 'ВВ' with 'В', case sensitive again.

I read somewhere that I can use '\L$1' to replace with the same words capitalized, but it won't work in Studio...
Can you suggest anything to shorten my 4 steps?

Hi Stepan Konev,

A year ago I looked for at a very similar string processing and in the end I knew that it was not possible…

Anyway, maybe Anthony Rudd has a second opinion.

Oh, thank you. Now I can give up with a clear conscience. Unless Anthony changes it.

Unlikely... .NET doesn't support this.
