Convert headings into database lists

Post by Thepaintedbeat »

Is it possible.
I am using writer as a script writing program and I want to see how many lines a certain character has spoken. Is there a way to do that?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Are the lines for each character well identified, I mean with a specific string? In this case, you can search for that string and Find All then Replace All and you'll got the number of replacements.

Please add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

HI thanks for the welcome. It's not really what I mean. I want to put them into base so that I can make reports. How many lines does each character speak and what? What are the locations? Etc. It's so I have something to give my team when they are doing counts and what not.
