Comment
Used to add notes to the translator file, placed at the start of the line, all text after the # is ignored. |
| WarnIfFileIncludes |
|String|Message |
This command will pop up a warning dialogue box if the 'String' is in the file being translated. The Message text will be the message displayed.
This command does not honour exclusions, if there is an exclude command before this one which excludes the line with String in it then the message box will still be shown. |
| WarnIfFileNotIncludes |
|String|Message |
This command will pop up a warning dialogue box if the 'String' is in the file being translated. The Message text will be the message displayed.
The same conditions apply for exclusions. |
| WarnIfLineIncludesAndNot |
|N|FindThis|WhenNotThis|Message |
This will pop up a message box with the 'Message' text in it if a line with the 'FindThis' text but not the 'WhenNotThis' text is found. It will be shown once for each line where the conditions are met.
This command can be made case sensitive by using 'Y' as the first parameter, use 'N' to make this command ignore case.
Exclusions are honoured with this command. |
| ExcludeFirstLines |
|3 |
Excludes the number of lines stated in the parameter from further commands in the translation.
More than one of these commands can be in a Translation. If there are some things to be carried out on all of the file, then just a part of it you can use this command more than once to control the parts of the file affected. |
| ExcludeLastLines |
|3 |
Works in exactly the same way as ExcludeFirstLines but from the end of the text. |
| IncludeFirstLines |
|3 |
The commands following this one will only be applied to this number of lines at the start of the text. |
| IncludeLastLines |
|3 |
The commands following this one will only be applied to this number of lines at the end of the text. |
| ResetIncludeExclude |
|
Resets the Exclude or Include lines so command following this one will be applied to the whole text. |
| ExcludeLinesWith |
|String |

| ReplaceText |
|N|changethistext|tothistext |
Straight forward text replacement command, if the first parameter is 'Y' then it is case sensitive, if 'N' then it is not. |

| DeleteLinesContaining |
|N|String |
Deletes any lines containing the 'String', use 'Y' for the first parameter to make it case sensitive and 'N' for not case sensitive.
This command obeys the exclusions set in the translation. |
| AddToLineIncluding |
|N|FindThisText|AddThisText |
Add text to the end of a line containing the stated text. The first parameter is the Case Sensitivity, the second is the text to find and the third is the text to add to the end of the line.
This command obeys the exclusions set in the translation. |
| InsertLineAfter |
|N|FindThisText|AddThisText |
This command inserts a line after every line containing the second parameter text and puts the third parameter text in the inserted line. If the first parameter is 'N' then the command is not case sensitive, if it is 'Y' then it is case sensitive.
This command obeys the exclusions set in the translation. |
| InsertLineBefore |
|N|FindThisText|AddThisText |
This command inserts a line before every line containing the second parameter text and puts the third parameter text in the inserted line. If the first parameter is 'N' then the command is not case sensitive, if it is 'Y' then it is case sensitive.
This command obeys the exclusions set in the translation. |
| AddSpacesBetween |
|N|0123456789.|XYZR |
Adds a space between every occurence of one of the second parameter characters and one of the third parameter characters.
The shown values would add a space between every number and XYZ or R.
N100X10.64Y132.79Z-6.5 would become N100 X10.64 Y132.79 Z-6.5
If the first parameter is 'N' then the command is not case sensitive, if it is 'Y' then it is case sensitive.
This command obeys the exclusions set in the translation. |
| DeleteBlankLines |
|
Deletes any blank lines in the text, does not take any notice of any exclude or include lines, the whole text will be processed. |
