    Editing text files for Meizu display

    I use uedit-32 to clean up files to view in Meizu..
    Here's what I do.

    1. I copy all of the files I want to clean up to one directory.
    ( I keep the originals as is because I sometimes want to use them with other programs.)

    2. I click on "file" "open".
    navigate to the directory where the files are located,
    hold "control" down and click on the files I want to clean up,
    then click on "open".

    This will open the files and display a line of tabs with the file names.
    The text of one of the files is displayed.

    3. I hold down the left mouse button,
    and mark a phrase I want to get rid of.

    4. I click on "search "replace"
    and paste the phrase into "find what"

    5. I type a space in "replace with"

    6. I mark "All open files" and click "replace all"
    a few times.

    7. I do this for all of the phrases I want to get rid of.

    8. I then click on the other tab, and this displays the
    text in the other files, and I get rid of other unwanted phrases,
    using steps 3-7

    At this point, I have added a lot of unwanted spaces
    alomg with any unwanted spaces that might be in the original files,
    so I click on "search" "replace" and enter two spaces in "find what"
    and one space in "replace with" and click "replace all" a few times.

    This gets rid of multiple spaces.

    9. As I may still have some leading spaces,
    I click on "search" "replace" and enter ^p and a space in "find what"
    and a space in "replace with" and click "replace all" a few times.

    This gets rid of any leading spaces.

    10. As I may still have some blank line
    I click on "search" "replace" and enter ^p^p and a space in "find what"
    and ^p in "replace with" and click "replace all" a few times.

    This gets rid of the blank lines.

    Note that you have to have the "Regular Expression" box checked
    in the replace function.

    11. I take a look at each of the files and see if they are
    okay, and if they are, I save them.

    You can use the powerful macro feature of uedit-32
    to automate some of your editing.

    This techniue should work with any editor
    that support multiple open files,
    and "Regular Expressions".

    To get rid of annoying page numbers like "123."
    I enter %1???, %2???, etc. in step 9 above.

    You can delete any "bak" files,
    and even the edited files
    after you upload them to your Meizu.
