UnFormat - Lee Mac

[Madbike21]

Excuse my incompetence...

 

I have thousands of mtext objects from a GIS package that comes out with a text and height override in the text string. I believe  UnFormat can remove this but I cannot figure out how to execute it correctly.

 

Example text string is - \fOpen Sans|i0|b0;\H1.88516;93\PDP750380

 

I would like to retain 93\PDP750380 in the mtext object without removing the stacking and also the text before and after the stacking is different in each mtext object to which I would like this applied.

 

Thanks

I haven't looked at @Lee Mac's, but I use this one. There may be newer than version 5.0 at the Swamp or here.

 

Allows selecting what to remove.

More reading and information from John Uhden, I also use his versions, the original lets you select what to remove, which may be in one of the threads.

I know of and have previously tried StripMtext V5.0c which didn't remove the height override.

Some additional searching and the second version of v5.0d I found does remove the height override!

Previously the version from John Uhden removed my stacking formatting which I wanted to keep.

 

Thanks for your help!

There may be different versions at the Swamp as well.

 

John Uhden has a few versions.

In my 5.0b there is a dialogue that lets you uncheck what you want to keep, including stacking - I haven't changed to the more recent versions yet though

The issue wasn't retention of the stacking. In version 5.0c at least the height checkbox didn't remove the text overide whilst the copy of 5.0d I found did.
