Scribe Pattern Search

[jkluchnik]

I'm looking for the ability to extract all words in a word document that are wrapped in "<< >>", such as Hello <<Name>>, Please respond by <<Date>>....

I would like this to return:

<<Name>>

<<Date>>

I know the pattern match function in scribe should do this, but I can't figure out what to put in the Regex part. Is there a reference that explains this?

We would be happy to help you with this but it would be outside the scope of free support. If you are interested in that please let me know and I will have our project coordinator reach out to you to discuss further.

I have never used the Scribe plugin. The following is a (hopefully educated) guess.

Judging from the help page, the expression:

ScribePatternMatchAll ( YourText ; "<<.+?>>")

should return the result you seek.
