Tool to extract Strings from Source Coude into the Stringtable

[Anderl]

Hi,

we have a big project with a lot of text strings. For localization issue we have to extract all these strings from the source code into the resource file's string table.

Anybody knows a tool, which would make life easier for this work?

Thanks a lot...

BR,

I don't think it exists, because it is not enough to grab quoted strings and put them in the resource string table, but must modify accordingly the source code also. And there are many, many different cases. IMHO the best "tool" in this case is a programmer. ;)
However, I hope I'm wrong, maybe somebody else knows another one.

Good luck,
Ovidiu

You can still try some kind of text processor accepting regular expressions: The task you want to accomplish is not that difficult using regular expressions! To be frank, I don't know any good text processor for Windows.

I think it had to be tool, which was made exactly for this issue. I will try do make my own tool if nobody did this job before...

Thanks
