I needed it for the perl documentation project. We have to split per file.
So, I did it ;)
It works reasonably well and you can apply some complex filter.
'(&(reference="po4a:")(msgid= ))' gives you all the strings
extracter out of
po4a and containing a space.
But:
- the flags and the comments are not reported to the file (gasp)
- some complex expressions still break the parser:
'(&(reference="po4a:")(&(flags=fuzzy)(msgid= )))'
'(|(flags=fuzzy)(!(msgstr=.)))' which should give you all the fuzzy or
untranslated messages.
Martin, can you please explain what cannot be performed by msggrep (apart
from Perl regular expressions)?
Bruno Haible has recently developed a libgettextpo library (part of
gettext) containing handful functions for applications which have to
read/write/parse PO files. Maybe it is worth writing a XS module
to use this library? This way, one shouldn't care about comments and
flags, but OTOH XS modules are architecture dependent.
As always, this is just a thought, I did not investigate deeply ;)
