Setting up a external itemset..........help on removing select_one values

Well I have gotten my external itemset to work using the information on the
ODK site........thank you very much.

My issue is this I have to remove over 1000 itext references in the xml
file............anyone know a way to dump them easier than just selecting
and cutting? took me a dam long time.
If they were in order that would not be an issue but it's a crapshoot on
where things are referenced.

If I have to add fields and recompile........they will be back in the
file...................any help would be appreciated. New to the whole xml
thing but learning fast.........

Thanks again......

John

What were you taking out, exactly? RegEx might help.

Need help customizing Survey Instruments/Tools/Forms for ODK Collect? Drop

on the external itemset example the first step after you have compiled your
xlsform is to

  1. Delete any references for values in your itemsets

on this particular cascade select I have over one thousand entries to
remove ....................lot of work to remove that from the form......

what is the RegEx you mentioned?

John,

There is no single regex, but in general, you can use regexs to find
text that matches a particular pattern and then remove said text.
http://www.regular-expressions.info has more information.
