I have an xml file that contains numerous image paths in this format <Pic_path href="HD2:Working Files:images:testpic.jpg"/>
I need to convert them to this format <Pic_path href="file:/// Volumes/HD2/Working Files/images/testpic.jpg"/>
Is there any way I can get TM to search for the paths and convert the text?
If all the images are in the same location, you can enable Regular Expressions, then search for: ‘<Pic_path href="HD2:Working Files:images:(.*?)"/>’ and replace with: ‘<Pic_path href="file:/// Volumes/HD2/Working Files/images/$1"/>’.
If however they vary in path, you will need to first do a replace from: ‘<Pic_path href="HD2:’ to ‘<Pic_path href="file:///Volumes/HD2/’.
Then repeat a (regular expression) replace of: ‘(<Pic_path href="file:///Volumes/HD2/[^":]+):’ with ‘$1/’ until no replacements are done.
Do a backup first!
