Can someone tell me how to Remove all special html characters from an Excel file or text file imported into memoQ using the new Regex Tagger?

so that I can get rid of stuff like this before trying to extract terms from the text to create a glossary:



Thanks!

Remove? Or replace? Jul 15, 2011

I have more of a question than an answer for you but I am wondering whether it would be better to replace the HTML special characters with their equivalents, rather han simple remove them...?

For example, if you simply remove ’ from the text you quoted, and go from this:

Apple’s Friend-Aggregator is a full-feature ...

I have more of a question than an answer for you but I am wondering whether it would be better to replace the HTML special characters with their equivalents, rather han simple remove them...?

For example, if you simply remove &rsquo; from the text you quoted, and go from this:

Apple&rsquo;s Friend-Aggregator is a full-feature ...


to this:

Apples Friend-Aggregator is a full-feature ...


it will change the meaning of the term _Apple_...correct?

In any case, take a look at the memoQ help article here:

http://kilgray.com/memoq/50/help-en/index.html?import_documents_with_embedded.html

It should get you started..

One possible regex to match specialchars might be: &#?[^;]+;
which would include specialchars that may(or may not) have a # sign, and include numbers and/or letters...However, I do not have memoQ so I cannot test this...(sorry!)

Replace, not remove! Of course

That memoQ help file was exactly what I was looking for.

In the meantime I actually managed it with this (very useful) free online "HTML Encoder / Decoder":

memoQ has built-in support for this Aug 25, 2011

Hello All,

For the regex tagger, memoQ contains a "bundled" configuration called "Tags and entities". You can import the Excel file, and then run the regex tagger from the Format menu with this configuration.

Or you can even create a cascading filter (filter chain), where the regex tagger is chained after the Excel filter with this configuration.

best regards,
Gergely
