I'm translating an ugly formatted lang file of a plugin. It's really uncomfortable as it has no line breaks at all.
How do I enter \n
after }
and most of all after
"text":"text",
Example of what the code looks like:
{"dir":"ltr","editor":"Rich Text Editor","common":{".........
I'm new to regex and find it difficult to learn these operators :D
To me this looks like JSON. If this is the case, simply:
Given this string:
{"glossary":{"title":"example glossary","GlossDiv":{"title":"S","GlossList":{"GlossEntry":{"ID":"SGML","SortAs":"SGML","GlossTerm":"Standard Generalized Markup Language","Acronym":"SGML","Abbrev":"ISO 8879:1986","GlossDef":{"para":"A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.","GlossSeeAlso":["GML","XML"]},"GlossSee":"markup"}}}}}
It yields:
{
"glossary" : {
"title" : "example glossary",
"GlossDiv" : {
"title" : "S",
"GlossList" : {
"GlossEntry" : {
"ID" : "SGML",
"SortAs" : "SGML",
"GlossTerm" : "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
"Acronym" : "SGML",
"Abbrev" : "ISO 8879:1986",
"GlossDef" : {
"para" : "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
"GlossSeeAlso" : ["GML", "XML"]
},
"GlossSee" : "markup"
}
}
}
}
}
This approach should provide you with a decent indentation as well, which should help you better make sense of what you have. Although replacing with a regular expression will work, the output could be slightly messy.
