Remove Repeated Words and Symbols

[kloruklass]

{ } =

space

I would like to replace these characters with an underscore, and then remove all the duplicate words.

For instance, I’d like to change:

dmg_sm0993_event (summonedtable) 0039-event [damage=hit_defend_fail_se_0039_type=slash_low] [damage_fail_type=defend_fail] {!} {r} {m} {s} {e}

To (both “{ }” and characters inside are not needed.)

dmg_sm0993_event_summonedtable_0039_damage_hit_defend_fail_se_type_slash_low

Hello, @kloruklass and All,

Given your ( uniq ! ) example :

dmg_sm0993_event (summonedtable) 0039-event [damage=hit_defend_fail_se_0039_type=slash_low] [damage_fail_type=defend_fail] {!} {r} {m} {s} {e}

With the following regex S/R :

• SEARCH (?-s)[^\w{}\r\n]+(?:\x20*({.+?})|)

• REPLACE ?1:_

• Tick the Wrap around option

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click once, on the Replace All button

You’ll get this temporary text :

dmg_sm0993_event_summonedtable_0039_event_damage_hit_defend_fail_se_0039_type_slash_low_damage_fail_type_defend_fail

---

Now, using this second regex S/R :

• SEARCH (?i-s)(([a-z0-9]+)_.*)_\2(?:(_)|\R|\z)

• REPLACE \1?3_

• Click on the Replace All button, several times, till you see the status line 0 occurrences were replaced in entire file ( IMPORTANT )

And you’ll get the expected text :

dmg_sm0993_event_summonedtable_0039_damage_hit_defend_fail_se_type_slash_low

Best Regards
