Hello,
Between all my categories i have one category with only the letter L
I'd like to remove this category or replace it
When i do search and replace all categories with a L in the name are replaced als when i do explode.
Do you have a solution for it?
Thanks Jan Roel
Hello David,
I have a problem with the searchReplaceRegExp filter.
When you look at my testpage: http://vakantiehuisvoordelig.nl/category/Duitsland/ and click on the the jumpbox Regio/provincie you see the letter L.
I used the field "brand" for "Regio/provincie"
I filled in ^L$ at Search (Regular Expresion) and by replace i filled in nothing. Because i want to remove this letter completely.
When i run the import almost all of the field in the jumpbox Regio/provincie are removed and the import stopped with the message an error is occured.
I add this code:
/*************************************************/
/* searchReplaceRegExp */
/*************************************************/
$filter_names["searchReplaceRegExp"] = "Search and Replace (RegExp)";
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpConfigure($filter_data)
{
print "Search (Regular Expresion):<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='search' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["search"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "<br /><br />";
print "Replace:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='replace' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["replace"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("replace");
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpValidate($filter_data)
{
if (!$filter_data["search"])
{
widget_errorSet("search","required field");
}
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpExec($filter_data,$text)
{
return trim(preg_replace($filter_data["search"],$filter_data["replace"],$text));
}Hello Jan,
My apologies the search expression requires delimiters with this format, have a go with:
/^L$/Cheers,
David.

Hello Jan,
I just did a full re-creation on my test server and it seemed to work OK - can you confirm the filter is attached to the Brand field, and the feed re-imported since applying the filter?
If still no joy, please could you email me; the link, the filename of the feed that the "L" value is coming from, and also from /admin/ > Tools > Backup and Restore a copy of the backup file with just "Filters" selected and I'll check that out for you...
Thanks,
David.

Hello Jan,
There is code in this comment for a Search and Replace RegExp filter which will let you do this. After adding the new filter, attach an instance to the Category field and use a Search expression of:
^L$...and a Replace value of whatever you want to use instead.
In a regular expression (RegExp), ^ is the beginning of line anchor, and $ the end of line anchor so the above expression will match only a single uppercase "L" and nothing else...
Cheers,
David.
