Regex glossaries? Thread poster: Piotr Bienkowski
|
|---|
I want to learn something new but can't find the resources.
I want to use the regex glossary feature to be able to quickly insert all uppercase words such as ZORDRETSPECSALES. So I created a glossary and entered
[A-Z]+{tab}$0
Reloaded the glossary. Nothing happens i.e. the uppercase word is not highlighted. Regex wrong or something else?
{tab} represents the tab character.

I don't know CT so I can't offer much help, I'm sure CT users will show up with insider info any minute now.
Still:
1) A-Z usually just matches latin characters, i.e. it won't match É or Ł. This varies tool to tool and should be tested. Possible expressions for matching all uppercase letters include [[:upper:]]+ and \p{Uppercase}+. Check the CT docs for info.
2) What's the $0? $ usually stands for "end of string". $1 stands for "previous captured string" but that would requir... See more I don't know CT so I can't offer much help, I'm sure CT users will show up with insider info any minute now.

Hi Piotr,
I think you can use nontranslatables (shortcut F4 on Windows) for this purpose as well.
You store your nontranslatables in:
C:\CafeTran Espresso\cafetran\resources\placeables\nontranslatables.txt
I have the following in my list:
|[A-Z][a-z]+\s[A-Z][a-z]+
|[A-Z][a-z]+\s[A-Z][a-z]+\s[A-Z][a-z]+
|[A-Z][A-Z]+
|[a-z]+[A-Z]+[a-z]+
|[A-z]*+[0-9]+[A-z]*+
|((mailto\:|(news|(ht|f)tp(s?))\://){1}\S+)

I have no idea why your solution does not work.
Is that stored in your Regex glossary, otherwise Pipe character may be needed.

Closed the project and reopened it, but only completely restarting Cafetran did the trick. Now I don't know if it is your list that works or my regex glossary

You can test it, simply close your glossary and if they are still highlighted then it is proof that nontranslatables are working.
A version of your regex ([A-Z]+) or ([A-Z][A-Z]+) don't remember which one now, highlights matches but you should right click on glossary and select match case.
I could not find a regex to highlight É, the following one failed:
|\b[\p{Upper}]\b
