Adding text from string

Francesco Ferrari

Hello there, I would like to know if is possible from ReportItem line select only the pluginName value without " " and then

<ReportItem port="111" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="11111" pluginName="RPC Services Enumeration" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>

add this whole line value after the plugin_modification_date: <plugin_name>value selected from above and inserted here</plugin_name>

<ReportItem port="111" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="11111" pluginName="RPC Services Enumeration" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
<plugin_name>RPC Services Enumeration</plugin_name>

This became a nightmare coz there´s no <plugin_name> item and then the code breaks.

Really appreciate for the attention.

Hello, @francesco-ferrari and All,

No problem with regexes !. So let’s imagine the following INPUT text :

<ReportItem port="111" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="11111" pluginName="RPC Services Enumeration" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

<ReportItem port="222" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="22222" pluginName="A funny Name" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

<ReportItem port="333" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="33333" pluginName="XXXXX yyyyy ZZZZZ" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

Then :

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )
- SEARCH (?-is)<ReportItem\x20.+?pluginName="(.+?)"(?s).+?</plugin_modification_date>\R
- REPLACE $0<plugin_name>\1</plugin_name>\r\n
- Tick the Wrap around option, ONLY
- Select the Regular expression search mode
- Click on the Replace All button

You should get the expected OUTPUT text, below :

<ReportItem port="111" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="11111" pluginName="RPC Services Enumeration" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
<plugin_name>RPC Services Enumeration</plugin_name>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

<ReportItem port="222" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="22222" pluginName="A funny Name" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
<plugin_name>A funny Name</plugin_name>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

<ReportItem port="333" svc_name="rpc-portmapper" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="33333" pluginName="XXXXX yyyyy ZZZZZ" pluginFamily="Service detection">
<description>test</description>
<plugin_modification_date>2011/05/24</plugin_modification_date>
<plugin_name>XXXXX yyyyy ZZZZZ</plugin_name>
.....
.....
.....
</ReportItem>

Note that I suppose that the string </plugin_modification_date> always ends the current line
