Dear all

My XLF v1.2 exported from Articulate looks like this:

</trans-unit>
</body>
</file>
</xliff>

when I parse it with tikal I am getting this (so, everying is on one line and tags are too many:

<g id="1467927090"><g id="341342541"><g id="740432653"><g id="1679445581"><g id="1314790659">In this section you will explore:</g></g></g></g><g id="1664881239"><g id="2102711583"><g id="988469476"><g id="80573545"><g id="1880943220">practical actions organizations can adopt to improve access for specific client groups</g></g></g></g><g id="513058904"><g id="1466285517"><g id="1481946451"><g id="506727249">ways you can support positive change within your own organization</g></g></g></g></g><g id="275865457"><g id="1311635365"><g id="1886478644"><g id="191012528">Estimated duration:</g></g></g>15<g id="1218576014"><g id="415849855">minutes</g></g></g></g>

Is there anyway to split after <g id=".*?" ctype="x-html-P">

A quick solution is to add a new line character after this pattern so that tikal exprts me the right format, which is this one:

<bx id="1467927090"/><bx id="341342541"/>
<g id="740432653"><g id="1679445581"><g id="1314790659">In this section you will explore:</g></g></g><ex id="341342541"/>
<bx id="1664881239"/><bx id="2102711583"/><bx id="988469476"/>
<g id="80573545"><g id="1880943220">practical actions organizations can adopt to improve access for specific client groups</g></g><ex id="988469476"/><ex id="2102711583"/>
<bx id="513058904"/><bx id="1466285517"/>
<g id="1481946451"><g id="506727249">ways you can support positive change within your own organization</g></g><ex id="1466285517"/><ex id="513058904"/><ex id="1664881239"/>
<bx id="275865457"/>
<g id="1311635365"><g id="1886478644"><g id="191012528">Estimated duration:</g></g></g>15<g id="1218576014"><g id="415849855">minutes</g></g><ex id="275865457"/><ex id="1467927090"/>
