« on: October 07, 2013, 05:18:27 pm »
Good day

Good day all, i come back for help once again, does somebody knows a program or something related in which if i have a huge amount of information with the same pattern and i just want to change a few things, helps me so i dont have to do it one by one?

example:

(a2)i am noob(a2)                    ------------------                   and change this to ----------------              (a3)i am noob indeed(a3)
(ss) blablablabla (ss)                                                                                                                           (ss2) blablablabla (ss2)
(ss) blablablabla (ss)                                                                                                                            (ss3) blablablabla (ss3)

(a2)i am noob indeed(a2)                                                                                                                            etc etc----
(ss) blablablabla (ss)

(a2)i am noob yes i am(a2)
(ss) blablablabla (ss)

what exactly are you trying to ask? most text editors have a "find and replace" function which can swap one string anywhere it occurs in a document for another specified string. if you want a more complex transformation, you will need to use something which supports regular expressions. the two options i would suggest for something like that would be sed (if you're using a unix-like system, including osx), or perl, which is a scripting language with fantastic regex support and runs on all the major operating systems.

If you mean the mass downrating it was probably done for a reason (especially the wifi network hacking thread and even moreso the fact a second topic was made immediately after the first got locked). However if you ever have concerns about suspicious post rating activity or intentional mass downrating by a single member then contact an admin if they are active posting.
