I'm using Studio 2017 and translating an iOS strings file.
Typically it's a list of "label" = "value"; pairs. But this list has entries like "label" = "some \"quoted\" value";
The regexp used in the parser can't handle quotes in the value, so it skips these entries altogether. Has SDL updated their parser since then? It's basically a regexp change, but I'm not great with regexps. Would appreciate any help.
Perhaps you could start by showing us what you have tried, and also provide a few lines of the file exactly as written?
Current parser as set in iOS string shipped with Trados:
Document structure:
start tag: "[^"]*"\s*=\s*"(?=[^"]*"\s*;)
end tag: ";
So, for the a pair "label1" = "value1"; this will work perfectly
But if you have a pair "label2" = "some \"quoted\" value2"; the regex will fail
Unfortunately my file contains quite a few entries of the latter type.
Why not correct your regex for the opening tag to something like this?
"[^=;]+=\s"
