Ello! I need a lil help with capturing new lines heh...

[Linden10]

Ello! I recently made this Regex search pattern:

10_search=^<Name(?:\s+(?P<name>.+?))?>[\s　]*$
15_search=^<Text.*?(?P<text>「.+?」).*?>$
16_search=^<Text[\s　]+(?P<text>.+?)>[\s　]*$

To captured both the name and the lines, spoken and inner-dialouge in this plaintext script:

;	//乃々香名前欄：女の子
<Name 【Girl】>
<Text 002010000 「Hey～!」>
<PW>

<Name>
<Text ――If　this　place　were　the　space　where　everything　I　needed　was　fulfilled…>
<PW>

<Name>
<Text These　girls　are　extremely　dangerous.
They're　seriously　bad　news.>
<PW>

I got it to capture all the text I wanted...except for lines that I had manually edited with linefeed (LF) in them.
I tried to figure out how to capture them to no avail, can you help?

Thanks!
Oh and the script is from this:
https://vndb.org/v10080

I'm helping this user who made a full translation of the game on here by polishing up the script:

Yup!

Solution 1

Engine TXT will separate file by \r\n，so you need unfinish group to connect sentences into paragraph.

01_skip=^[;]
02_skip=^<(?!Name|Text)
03_skip=^<Name>
10_search=^<Name (?P<name>.+?)>
15_search=^<Text[\s\d]+(?P<unfinish>.+?)>*\s*$
16_search=^(?P<unfinish>.+?)[>\s]*$
struct=para

The match skip will end unfinish then form paragraph. (02_skip match <PW>)

Solution 2

Engine BIN can set separate to extract multi-lines. (Default sep is \r\n too)

10_search=^\s*(?P<name>[^>]+)?>\r\n<Text[\s\d]+([\S\s]+)>\r\n<PW>
separate=<Name
startline=1

Check BIN enable Pure Text mode and Encoding applies to BIN.
When import text, need to change setting Paragraph Separator to any string that will not appear, such as @@@. (Default \r\n is appeared)

Ah thanks for helping! So the scripts are all in plaintext format so I used solution 1, however when I tried
your regex that you shared, it...

Well it did capture the lines with a LF (Linefeed) in them, however it was put in a separate new line instead of one line like so:

1. These　girls　are　extremely　dangerous.
2. They're　seriously　bad　news.

I was hoping it would capture it as one line put together with the LF (Linefeed) intact.
Also a bunch of code that was already specified in the skip regex somehow got passed and were captured...
Do you know how to make the lines with LF be put together on the same line?

I'll leave an example source plaintext script if you want to test further.
script0100.txt

It's encoded in Shift-JIS/cp932 by the way!

I'll also leave an xlsx file (that used my regex that I shared in my first post) to show what I'm trying to achieve.
script0100.txt.xlsx

Again thanks for helping!

[Linden10]

AH I'll test solution 2 and see if that works...

...
AH IT WORKED! Solution 2 somehow was able to capture the text exactly as I needed it including the LF line!
Thanks for helping!

Hmm...If only I can do this with the TXT engine too...
This'll do however! ^_^

Solution 1 also requires ExtractFormat, only origRN or msgRN will connect sentences.
Because these \r\n are tool's Paragraph Separator but not text content, this separator can be set to any string.
BTW, engine BIN can also import text and re-generate normally.

AH I SEE! Thanks for kindly explaining, this will be valuable information when I try to capture new line text!
Though if I still have issues with capturing text...I won't hesitate to ask ya again for help in the future heh.

Thank you and have a good day/night!
Happy Belated April Fools Day too, hope it was a fun day and you didn't get too fooled haha.
