Preview
Click the Preview button to display a preview in the dialog.
The preview shows an example text in which all the strings extracted according to the current rule settings are highlighted.
File
Enter the path to the file you want to use as the example text. Or click the browse button [...] to use the Windows file selection dialog.
Codepage
If the text file is in ASCII format you should specify the correct codepage here to ensure that all the characters are displayed correctly.
Automatic update
If this option is selected the text file will be re-imported every time there is a change in the rule definitions. Otherwise the update is not carried out until you click the Update button.
Options
You can specify a limit for the preview function. In this case, the text file will only be read up to the specified limit. With large files this can make sense as otherwise there may be a delay while the file is read. Normally the beginning of the file should be sufficient to determine whether the defined rules have the desired effect.
You can also display Line Numbers in the preview.
Text file
Displays the imported text file. All the matching strings are highlighted yellow. The corresponding string markers indicating the beginning and end of the string are colored blue and green. If you move the mouse over a highlighted part of the text and wait a moment, the corresponding string delimiter ([S1], ...) used to segment this text is displayed. In addition the string ID is displayed, if available.
Imported strings
This list contains up to 500 imported strings including IDs and comments, if available.
