eXo Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I am cleaning up a new exodos release with launchbox. In my testing I have found that my pack contains 1,064 games, however LB displays 1,062. I have run a count on lines with <title> in the platform xml file and confirmed that there are 1,062 of them. to get the two missing games in requires knowing which ones they are. I'm looking for a way to create a file listing of the games i have in LB to I can compare it against a directory listing and figure out the missing titles. if I had a way to export just lines from the xml that have the <title> prefix, then that would accomplish this, however googling ways to extract lines from a text file based on a conditional elemtant such as the first part of a line hasn't given me any usable results. Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I guess the easiest way to do that without any fancy macros or regex would probably be to just sort all lines of the .xml file alphabetically, use the search to jump to the <Titles> section and then copy all of them to a new text file.

eXo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I was able to find a way to do it by importing the xml into excel. It was a shame access couldn't directly read the xml due to formatting issues. Thanks for the suggestions!

CriticalCid Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ah sure, I haven’t thought about Excel at all. Great that you got it sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
