As I mentioned, most modern tools do this stuff, and even SDL has caught up in some respects ;-) See those two little boxes at the top of the screen shot labeled "Target:" and "Source:"? Type a word, substring or quoted group of words in one of those and you can filter whatever view you have to contain only those segments with that sequence. These filtering options can, of course, be done sequentially. I remember discovering a similar feature in DVX years ago and was annoyed with myself for noticing it only after several years of use. That feature became a QA workhorse for me.<br /><br />It's really rather sad that so many people fixate on ignorant clichés like these tools only being good for "repetitive text". Their superior capabilities for review, revision, editing, proofreading or whatever the heck you want to call such QA tasks make them well worth the investment. We could probably both polish off a keg of cider and use up half a ream of paper listing the benefits of a good tool (from any vendor) and still not even get around to writing "repetition" on that list.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-52159688042679569122011-03-22T22:55:47.846+00:002011-03-22T22:55:47.846+00:00Indeed, it is features such as these that make CAT...Indeed, it is features such as these that make CAT tools indispensable even for not very repetitive text. <br /><br />A feature I love for example, is Studio 2009 filter features - which permits you to see at a glance only the segments that contain (or that do not contain, if you want - the regex filter is very flexible) some word - helps a lot in keeping things consistent.Riccardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033214185364578008noreply@blogger.com
