Is there anyone out there who has ever reshaped the wrappara-macro

I need an inverse of the function ChrSet. Otherwise it=B4s difficult
to show the user the exsisting wordset in af prompt.
As far as I can see, there is no such function built in!
Has anyone out there made such a function?

Hi Skip
The following macro should convert such ascii data to an TSE macro
that does roughly what you request in a simple way:
proc main()
   replace("^", "replace(", "gx")
   replace("$", ")", "gx")
   begfile()
   insertline("proc main()")
   endfile()
   addline("end")
end
Greetings!

Hi Gang,
I need a macro that takes instructions from a list of variables.  For
example the ASCII text file would look like this:
snip===============================================================snip
"{[a-z]}U{[a-z]}", "\1u\2", "x"
"{[a-z]}T'", "\1?"+chr(34), "ix"
"die", " the", "w"
"took", "look", "w"
"failing", "falling", "w"
"feet", "feel", "w"
"sit", "sir", "w"
"fight", "right", "w"
"stiff", "still", "w"
snip===============================================================snip
And because I am having problems with my wrist, it would be easy if the
macro would use <Grey+> to look for the first part of the replacement
string.  The <Grey-> would be the second part of the replacement string.
And whatever is in the third section would be the options.  Any of them
including x.
The macro should continue until the end of file is found and then
automatically jump to the second line and so on, until the entire list
is finished.  The <Grey/> key might have the option of showing what line
is being executed at the time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

assistant: From: "Thomas Swann, TPA Engineering, 813-532-2632"
<THOMAS_S1@sfov1.verifone.com>
Hello All,
   I have found an odd behavior of the MarkChar() function.  This problem
is specifically happening when using the CUAMARK macro.  When you mark
text going forward in the file and then hit a character key, you get the
behavior you would expect (ie the marked text is replaced with the
character you typed).  However if you mark text going towards the start
of the file and then do the same thing, you get *two* of the character
you hit.  This appears to be a problem with the MarkChar() function.
MarkChar() is supposed to be a non-inclusive mark so that the character
under the cursor is not part of the block.  This is true when you move
forward in the file (ie. left to right or up to down), but when you move
from right to left or down to up the character under the cursor is in
fact marked.  It all appears to be the way CUA works (at least DOS edit),
but when you Query() the "BlockBegCol" (the applicable variable for when
you move back in the file) you find that even though the character under
the cursor is marked (highlighted) that it isnt part of the block (which
is what one would expect for a non-inclusive block).  The real problem
lies hidden somewhere.  When InsertText() is called to replace the marked
block with the key that was pressed.  My guess is that it first replaces
the formal non-inclusive block with the character and then somehow sees the
character under the cursor as a block too (its highlighted afterall) and
replaces that char as well (resulting in the duplication of the key).
If someone at Semware or one of the real SAL guru's could explain to me
what is going on here, I would really appreciate it.

Hi, hope that this is still the right address, but here it goes.
I thought I had had regular expressions wrapped, but now that I have a
list of filenames with a bunch of html instructions after them, I can't
find the formula to clean it up so that just the filenames are left.
Here's a typical line:
BORDER=0 SRC="../arrowtny.gif">Douglas XA-2</A>
Easy enough to get rid of the material up to and including the href=,
but to get rid of the stuff after html, seems to be another story.
so please, could someone who feels really comfortable with regular
expressions give me a hand?
Thanks
regards

Hi Steve, thanks.
I have done sone of the work, what I am trying to do is isolate the file
names. I have the beginnings of them pruned
here are a few examples of what I have so far:
"a01i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0
SRC="../arrowtny.gif">&quot;A-1&quot;</A>
"a02i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0

"a03i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0
SRC="../arrowtny.gif">Curtiss A-3 Falcon</A>
"a04i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0
SRC="../arrowtny.gif">Curtiss XA-4</A>
"a05i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0

"a06i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0

"a07i.html"><IMG WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=24 ALIGN=absmiddle HSPACE=10 BORDER=0
SRC="../arrowtny.gif">General Aviation (Fokker) XA-7</A>
So what I want to do is clear everything out after the html.
The " at the beginning is no problem, that's obvious.
Thanks for your help
