will match only a single standard character and not an EOL character The two search regex begin with the modifier (?-s) ( No PCRE_DOTALL ) that ensures that the regex engine will consider the dot special character. Well, I’m back home and here are some explanations on the two S/R : I’ve got to be out for a while ! But, when I’m home, I’ll add some explanations to my regexes, just in case that you’re not acquainted with regular expressions ! Yeah ! Here is our final text, sorted as expected :-)) apple.c
Again, open the Replace dialog and type the regex expressions, below :. => We get the sorted text, below : c apple.c Now, perform a classical sort with the menu option Edit > Line operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending. => You should obtain the changed text, below : c apple.c Select the Regular expression search modeįill up the two fields Find what: and Replace with:, with the values, below : So, from your original text, below : apple.cįirst, move back to the very beginning of your file, containing a list of filenames ( Ctrl + Home ) Many "templates" can be applied within this stylesheet, to manage sorting by alphabetically or via the priority number(s) within an attribute's body.Very easily, indeed ! you just need two S/R, in regex mode and a classical sort :-)) To sort the way you wish, even for data that is within an element. The challenge for XML sorting, within an "attribute" (item #6 above in the table), this is a block of information.Ī better approach may be to create a custom XSLT "stylesheet" file, to be used with the XML file. In GRID mode, you can select alpha/numeric ascending or descending sorts on a column. Then copy these new files to Beyond compare with the XML Sort File Format.ġ) Before BC XML Sort File Format (non-sorted): 1600+ deltasĢ) With BC XML Sort File Format: 190+ deltas (better)ģ) With xmllint pre-sort, then with BC XML Sort File Format: 60+ deltas Įdit - Using Altova XMLSpy or Oxygen XML Editor, it is fairly easy to load an XML file, then switch to GRID mode. 
$ xmllint -exc-c14n ime-roles-task-02.xml > 2.xml $ xmllint -exc-c14n ime-roles-task-01.xml > 1.xml I have had better luck with using the Linux package: xmllint with a few switches.
Specifically, I am looking for the following: Have you been able to identify an XML Canonical Sort utility that allows flexibility with sorting various XML files the way you wish?ġ) NotePad++ with the compare option (fine for text files but limited value for XML)Ģ) Beyond Compare with the FileFormat of XML and XML Sort is better identifies from 1600+ deltas to 196 deltas.ģ) Altova XMLSpy/DeltaDog offer quite a bit of features, but will need to invest more time to identify flexibility.
