Hello, I've tried to write a "sed s/original/replacement/g " -like script, but for dealing with situations where both original and replacement contain a mixture of left to right and right to left text (for now, English and Hebrew) Both the texts can span multiple lines, and the replacement has to be in files of a specific type (html) in all subdirectories. I'll probably need to create the script (or at least the text to be replaced and it's replacement) in some editor, since commandlines don't seem to like bidirectional texts that much. I figured this would be easy, but have not managed to get something working, nor have I found examples to use. I did find some Python scripts doing related things, but they went wrong as soon as I tried to adapt them to bidirectional text, the Perl sed-like script also looked promising, but I did not manage to get that working either in this situation. Please note that I had no prior experience with the use of either language, and might easily have overlooked the simple solution.
Thanks for your help, Ernst -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
