Re: find the max number No, an RegEx is an pattern matching system only.
There are very little comparing features. You will need to use an macro/script for that. How that macro will work and what you will get as result depends on your real current needs and how the rest of the line looks a like: are that digits and tabs the only signs in such an line? Here is an quick example code. Be sure to use this always with copies of your importent documents. Because i don't have an impression what could get worse. If anyone should improve this script for you we will need an better example how the rest of such an line will look a like. Ahh, and this script will work only with tabs as delimiter or it have to be adjusted as one needs. HTH? |

find the max number hello
is there a regular expression that will replace a string of numbers seperated by TAB, with the maximum numbers of this number set? for example: [TAB]3[TAB]2[TAB]5[TAB]1[TAB] replaced with: 5 thanks |
