I’ve finished reading a kindle book and have copied all the kindle highlights into a TBX file.
The start of each highlight follows the pattern: Highlight (yellow) - Page 200 · Location 3942
This is useful for exploding the text as I can use the term “highlight”. However, once complete I’d like to find and replace:
Highlight (yellow) - Page 200 · Location 3942
to become:
Page 200 · Location 3942
I cannot figure out how to accomplish this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I did this myself some time ago, but I found it easier to strip out the extraneous text in a word processor before putting it into Tinderbox. Applications like Nisus Writer Pro have more sophisticated Find/Replace, and it makes the job a lot easier.
You need to delete the custom delimiter option. So, here is my text note’s $Text:
Now set up the Explode pop-over:
Note that as your delimiter Highlight (yellow) - contains characters with regular expression meaning (here, the parentheses) we must escape them with back-slashes. Set the rest of the pop-over as desired and explode.
I get the result:
:Does that help?
