Using sed in bash script to replace LaTeX aliases

*爱你&永不变心* 提交于 2019-12-04 09:13:53

Code for GNU :

sed -r '/^%/d;s#.*\b(\{\\\w+\})(\{.*\})#\1 \2#;s#\\#\\\\#g;s#(\S+)\s(\S+)#\\|\1|s|\1|\2|g#' file1|sed -f - file2

$ cat file1
% a
\newcommand{\ao}{$^{18}$O}
\newcommand{\aodso}{$^{18}$O/$^{16}$O}
% b
\newcommand{\bea}{\begin{equation}}
\newcommand{\beaa}{\begin{eqnarray}}
% c
\newcommand{\cthree}{C$_3$}
\newcommand{\cfour}{C$_4$}
\newcommand{\coz}{CO$_2$}

$ cat file2
This is my test {\ao}
{\aodso} my test is this
Does it work {\bea}
{\beaa} test test test
work work work {\cthree}
{\cfour} This is my test
my test is this {\coz}

$ sed -r "/^%/d;s#.*\b(\{\\\w+\})(\{.*\})#\1 \2#;s#\\#\\\\#g;s#(\S+)\s(\S+)#\\|\1|s|\1|\2|g#" file1|sed -f - file2
This is my test {$^{18}$O}
{$^{18}$O/$^{16}$O} my test is this
Does it work {\begin{equation}}
{\begin{eqnarray}} test test test
work work work {C$_3$}
{C$_4$} This is my test
my test is this {CO$_2$}

Explanation:

There are two calls for sed, the first one makes from the file with the search/replace patterns a sed script:

sed -r '/^%/d;s#.*\b(\{\\\w+\})(\{.*\})#\1 \2#;s#\\#\\\\#g;s#(\S+)\s(\S+)#\\|\1|s|\1|\2|g#' file1
\|{\\ao}|s|{\\ao}|{$^{18}$O}|g
\|{\\aodso}|s|{\\aodso}|{$^{18}$O/$^{16}$O}|g
\|{\\bea}|s|{\\bea}|{\\begin{equation}}|g
\|{\\beaa}|s|{\\beaa}|{\\begin{eqnarray}}|g
\|{\\cthree}|s|{\\cthree}|{C$_3$}|g
\|{\\cfour}|s|{\\cfour}|{C$_4$}|g
\|{\\coz}|s|{\\coz}|{CO$_2$}|g

In the second call sed processes this script with the text file to make the replacements.

sed -f - file2

There's a lot of discussion of this issue on this question at tex.SE. But I'll take the opportunity to note that the best answer there (IMO) is to use the de-macro program, which is a python script that comes with TeXLive. It's quite capable, and can handle arguments as well as simple replacements.

To use it, you move the macros that you want expanded into a <something>-private.sty file, and include it into your document with \usepackage{<something>-private}, then run de-macro <mydocument>. It spits out <mydocument>-private.tex, which is the same as your original, but with your private macros replaced by their more basic things.

I know that this question has been marked as answered since quite a while and that you explicitly mention bash and sed as your desired tool.

However, in the interest of others and if you don't insist on bash and sed there exist other options for your problem, e.g. the perl script TME (as suggested here on SO). Usage:

tme  [ -c ]  [ -D | -Dn ]  [ macros.tex ... ]  <input.tex  >output.tex
