I want to do a search and replace on FOO1, except where it occurs within the
text of an external link, e.g. [
https://www.blah.bar/ blah FOO1 more text].
I was using -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink but eventually realized it only
excludes hits within the actual url.
I'm guessing I need to use exceptinside, but not sure how. Can someone give
me some guidance?
I'm already using -regex. The actual command I'm using is:
python replace.py -regex "(?si)\b((?:FOO1|FOO2))\b(.*$)" "[[\\1]]\\2"
-exceptinsidetag:link -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink -exceptinsidetag:header
-exceptinsidetag:nowiki -exceptinsidetag:ref
-excepttext:"(?si)\[\[((?:FOO1|FOO2)[\|\]])" -namespace:0 -namespace:102
-namespace:4 -summary:"[[Appropedia:Wikilink bot]] adding double square
brackets to: FOO1|FOO2." -log -xml:currentdump.xml
(Not that I understand regex much - I had lots of help getting there.)
Many thanks for any help!
