Request of New Modify Format/Case Method

[deepskytraveler]

Would it be possible to add a new method for trimming? What I'm looking for is the ability to trim all text either preceding or following a designated string. Thanks for considering.

you should be able to do this from the search+replace tab using regular expressions.

but it still might be something worth adding since it seems like it might be a pretty common thing people want to do.

Can't figure out how to do it with search and replace. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have multi-line text clips. I want to trash all text after the first \n.

I have multi-line text clips

thats the problem -- it looks like the current code is working in line-mode, operating at line boundries and not matching multi-line stuff.  i will make it an option. stay tuned.

new options in latest alpha to deal with this scenario.

[deepskytraveler]

Thanks Mouser. Will check it out shortly.

Working though not as I expected. Here is an example with a typical clip that I'm capturing. Notice that the clip is multi-lined, separated by linebreak character "\n".



It appears that the trimming is acting separately on each line within the clip.

In this example I specified stripping everything  after the character "N". The result I was expecting was for the resultant clip to be one character, the first "N". Instead you'll see it stripped everything after the "N" on the first line as well as the second line.  BTW it is also case sensitive.

In this case I wanted to trim everything after the first line in the clip. However it doesn't appear that the trim function recognizes the character "\n".



Perhaps I'd better off with a script to accomplish the trimming?

Messed up once again.  Ugh

This is the correct screen shot for the trim after "N" example.
