@tonylewis Technically, yes… but TextSoap normalizes all EOL to \n. It does some conversions back and forth when pasting/copying text from other apps so it matches original format.

But (currently) within TextSoap, you should use \n.

25 years of TextSoap!! 🥳

I would love to hear when you first started using TextSoap and the tasks you tackle with the app.

[TextSoap @textsoap]

Good morning.

A new beta for TextSoap Agent is out. Adds support to bring up Agent's Preferences window when re-launched from Finder (particularly useful when Dock icon is hidden).

Now checking for any edge cases.

@marketingwizdom It should still be available on the menubar (on the right). Click the soap bottle icon, then select gear to open preferences. Go to General and uncheck the Hide dock icon option.

@MikeKonia Issue is fixed in 9.2.3 (3079)

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@MikeKonia Did you have clipboard workspace set to Plain Text? Or your initial document type as plain text?

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@MikeKonia I've had a couple other similar reports, but have not been able to dupe here. What specifically are you experiencing?

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@zacchaeusnifong @Setapp Expression as a cleaner action:

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@zacchaeusnifong @Setapp You said alphanumeric, but then a timestamp. For the latter, you can use an expression like this \d+:\d+

\d+ - one or more digits (0-9)
: - colon
\d+ - one or more digits (0-9)

Alt: \b\d+:\d+\b - the \b word break match to make sure it is by itself.

@TomBener Re: invoking on command line. What should that look like? Where is the content you are cleaning?

You can combine AppleScript and the osascript command to invoke it.

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@TomBener You’ll need to build exceptions for edge cases, like plural possessives. Something like:

(?<=s)’(?=\W) -> ’

First should be a straight quote. Can’t type it in w/o it being substituted in Twitter client.

Smarten Quotes cleaner does this internally.

[TextSoap @textsoap]

@TomBener TextSoap doesn’t use Regex for its Smart Quotes, but these will show you how to match each of these scenarios using Regex.
