VS code find xml attribute and replace with current value * factor-CodePudding

I have to edit a large xml file and its contents and it would take me hours. So i was wondering if VS code or any other editor has a function where i could specify a field and multiply it by some value.

CodePudding user response：

You can use the extension Regex Text Generator

select the field content (the number) in any way you like with Multi Cursor
Start Generate text based on regular Expression
for original regex type: (\d ) or ([\d.] ) for floats
for generator regex type: {{=N[1]*3.1415}} change factor for your factor

CodePudding user response：

You could do this as an XSLT transformation.

Or if it's a one-off, you could consider using the Saxon Gizmo tool. To increase all prices by 20%:

>java net.sf.saxon.Gizmo -s:source.xml
/>update //price with .*1.2
/>save source2.xml
/>quit
