Topic: Wordfast Classic - find/replace lists?
Poster: Claire Cox
hello,
I've just set up Wordfast on a new computer (a dream compared to some of the other programs I've been trying to download/set up!) and can't work out how to add the find/replace lists to change decimal commas to decimal points and full stops/spaces in thousands to commas in thousands, for example. I know I had problems doing this when I switched computers a few years ago, but did eventually get it working. However, my main computer has since crashed and the ini file I've copied to the new set-up is from my laptop, which I'd only recently switched to the 6.03t version of Wordfast and so didn't have the latest find/replace settings.
Can anyone jog my memory as to how I do this? I've found the location of the lists in the Data Editor but can't see how I enter the commands. I think the commands I used were these (although please correct me if I'm wrong!):
([0-9]),([0-9]) \1.\2 FR to EN financial format converter, step 2 /wc
([0-9]),([0-9][0-9][0-9]) \1.\2 /wc
,([0-9][0-9]) .\1 EN to FR financial format converter, step 1 /wc
[!^s][\!\?\:\;] Non-breaking space before ! ? : ; /wc
^32@^13 (Trailing space) /wc
^32{2} (Multiple spaces) /wc
but nothing happens when I try and enter them in the relevant source/target columns, or I get a run time error. I'm probably missing something really obvious.
I'd be very grateful for any guidance.
Many thanks
Claire
