I hope the following is not too off topic:
I have a "form" which gives the choice between 3 versions, Quiz,
Homework, and Exam, of a "testable item":
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Quiz?}}%
{%begin Quiz? true
Quiz version
}%end Quiz? true
{%begin Quiz false
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Homework?}}%
{%begin Homework? true
Homework version
}% end Homework? true
{%begin Homework? false
Exam version
}% end Homework? false
}% end Quiz? false
and I always have anywhere between fifty and a hundred testable items.
What I want to do is to have a fourth version, Workout, in other words
I want to change the form to:
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Workout?}}%
{%begin Workout? true
Workout version
}%end Workout? true
{%begin Workout false
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Quiz?}}%
{%begin Quiz? true
Quiz version
}%end Quiz? true
{%begin Quiz false
\ifthenelse{\boolean{Homework?}}%
{%begin Homework? true
Homework version
}% end Homework? true
{%begin Homework? false
Exam version
}% end Homework? false
}% end Quiz? false
}% end Workout? false
after which I can enter the "Workout version" on each form.
I tried to use Gerhard's GUI for sed, which I have used in the past
and works very, very nicely, but, unfortunately, \r does not work in
Mac's sed and I need to keep the formatting.
Would anyone have a suggestion of what else might do the job? E.g.
might there be an applescript that would work something like "Replace
Text In Item Names.scpt"?
Very hopeful regards
