Question about masive edits

Thread summary:[Link to] [Edit]

CLOSED This issue is closed by Raymond

Let's say you want to unfuzzy theese translations. Could Replace Text be used for that?

If I could export all fuzzy translations of a given message to work offline, I could do it with any text editor. But it seems that you can only export messages from a given group and a given language.

Does anybody know any other way (online or offline)?

If you know how the regular expressions of Special:ReplaceText work, you probably could. I think Raimond doesn't know it, which is the primary reason it's not been done already.

I've done a quick test. A simple regular expression doesn't replace all instances, but about 125 have been done.

This was a replacement of:

'''(.*:)'''
<strong>$1</strong>

The regular expressions will not always be this easy.

I don't have access to Special:ReplaceText. Raymond does a good job, so let's leave it to him. I could ping him in the future with regex for him to run/test.
