Search and replace multiple file Hi Pythonist,
I write the code in Python for search and replace the text in all XML files at current directory.
But I'm unable to find and replace the text "<tex>" as empty in all XML files. Here I want to remove the text:
<tex>z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\sigma _{{\rm SCR}}^2 = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\sigma _i^2 } + 2\sum\limits_{i \ne }^n {\sum\limits_j^n {z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\rho _{ij} \,\sigma _i \,\sigma _j } } ,</tex>
as
empty
ie. re.sub(r"<tex>(.*)</tex>",r"", filePath)
whats wrong with this code and explain how and where to use the script.
And also I want to replace all starting with <mtml> as <mml:mathml> and <m...> as <mml:m...> within the element <fd id="1" cnt="1"><no>1a</no> for all XML files in the current directory.
Here I want to replace the text:
risk modules:<fd id="1" cnt="1"><no>1a</no><mtml><mrow><msubsup><mi><mi>z</mi></mi><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>-</mo><mi><mi>α</mi></mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msubsup><mi> </mi><msubsup><mi><mi>σ</mi></mi><mrow><mtext>SCR</mtext></mrow><mn>2</mn></msubsup><mo>=</mo><munderover><mo>∑</mo><mrow><mi><mi>i</mi></mi><mo>=</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow><mi><mi>n</mi></mi></munderover><mrow><msubsup><mi><mi>z</mi></mi><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>-</mo><mi><mi>α</mi></mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msubsup><mi> </mi><msubsup><mi><mi>σ</mi></mi><mi><mi>i</mi></mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup></mrow><mo>+</mo><mn>2</mn><munderover><mo>∑</mo><mrow><mi><mi>i</mi></mi><mo>≠</mo></mrow><mi><mi>n</mi></mi></munderover><mrow><munderover><mo>∑</mo><mi><mi>j</mi></mi><mi><mi>n</mi></mi></munderover><mrow><msubsup><mi><mi>z</mi></mi><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>-</mo><mi><mi>α</mi></mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msubsup><mi> </mi><msub><mi><mi>ρ</mi></mi><mrow><mi><mi>i</mi><mi>j</mi></mi></mrow></msub><mi> </mi><msub><mi><mi>σ</mi></mi><mi><mi>i</mi></mi></msub><mi> </mi><msub><mi><mi>σ</mi></mi><mi><mi>j</mi></mi></msub></mrow></mrow><mtext><mo>,</mo></mtext></mrow></mtml><tex>z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\sigma _{{\rm SCR}}^2 = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\sigma _i^2 } + 2\sum\limits_{i \ne }^n {\sum\limits_j^n {z_{1 - \alpha }^2 \,\rho _{ij} \,\sigma _i \,\sigma _j } } ,</tex></fd>where

Not sure if this will help but you should try this directory compare prog in your problem.
This post is over a year old. Just let it die.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
