Convert TXT to XML
My workflow has run into hundreds, but not thousands. -
Convert TXT to XML
That's it Prex1, you nailed it. It works! Many thanks to you and the continued efforts of those here on the thread. -
Convert TXT to XML
Affraid it only works on txt files with Comments in, not on the ones without. I tried removing the end "$" again but it only reproduced the issue of not looking at "URL" and "Comments". Thanks for trying. -
Convert TXT to XML
Well, I thought I had it, I removed the "$" from the end of the following line: if ($content =~ /Title:\n(.*?)\s+URL:\n(.*?)(\s+Comment:\n(.*?)\s+)?/) { And the script processed all the files, but this time it only went as far as to convert the "Title" data only, nothing else. This... -

Convert TXT to XML
This looks great, even though I don't really understand it. I've gone over it though and sort of get what's going on, I'll see what I can and get back to you. Thanks for your help! -
Convert TXT to XML
Ahh, you're right, I got it mixed up with another file, sorry, so it would be like this: <?xpacket begin='' id=''?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/' x:xmptk='XMP toolkit 2.9-9, framework 1.6'> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'... -
Convert TXT to XML
Hi, I heard that Perl is good for text manipulation, which should be useful for converting TXT file data to XML based files. I have text files which are somewhat structured, they contain data which I usually manually copy & paste into the image handling application Aperture (from Apple) to a...
