modify pgn notation

[Jonathan003]

Anyone knows how I can modify a big pgn file with notations like this

Code: Select all

[Event "Chess Position Trainer"]
[Site "Chess Position Trainer"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Harry"]
[Black "Jonathan"]
[Result "*"]

1.d4 {!} 1...Nf6 2.c4 {!!} 2...e6 3.Nf3 {!!} 3...b6 *

So it looks like this

Code: Select all

[Event "Chess Position Trainer"]
[Site "Chess Position Trainer"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Harry"]
[Black "Jonathan"]
[Result "*"]

1.d4! Nf6 2.c4!! 2.e6 3.Nf3!! b6 *

I think even Word with the replace function can do this.

You can do it in Notepad++. Use the find/replace function, select the Regular expression search mode, and replace:

Code: Select all

 {(.*?)}

(note leading whitespace)

...with:

Code: Select all

Thanks for the suggestions. I find an easier way by importing and exporting in SCID
