Hi Peter,

I have thousands of tooltips across hundreds of pages that need to be updated to the "new" formatting.

They are either in the form of

{tip XXX::YYY}

or simply {tip ZZZ}

These obviously have to become {tip title="XXX" content="YYY"} or {tip content="ZZZ"}

Can the pro version of DB Replacer with Regular Expressions do this easily? What would be the most efficient way to do this? Thanks!

Ok, I've been doing this manually up to this point. This could be a game changer. Thanks!

Edit: So on a test page using the where string, it worked flawless to convert XXX::YYY to the new string.

I must be doing something incorrectly though on the conversion of single {tip ZZZ} because it wants to replace all of the converted tips as well. Will those just have to be done manually?

Awesome; it works great with {tip "words go here"} to do the single replacements, but it's still struggling to replace {tip words go here}.

But that's perfectly ok at this point, that's a small fraction of the tips. This has made my day.

Yeah, I realize now there's another complication that occasionally happens... There might be a situation like

{tip word::more "words" or "different words" do this} and any kinds of quotes in tips breaks the page utterly because "" inside of {tip title="title" content="This is a "word" that someone uses"} causes all sorts of issues.

For context, this is all language learning materials.

Wow, ok -- thanks for detailing that out. I'll see if I can get that to work better. Thanks again for this help, I think you saved me a few hundred hours of work this morning.
