Flag Entries

Shortcut: Ctrl+E

This dialog box allows you to flag a set of entries corresponding to at least one of several criteria. This is where you can detect duplicates for example.

Pre-defined conditions -- Select zero, one or more conditions in the list:

  • Duplicate Source and Target (case sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Source field as well as the Target field are identical between entries, using case sensitive comparison.
  • Duplicate Source and Target (case not sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Source field as well as the Target field are identical between entries, using case insensitive comparison.
  • Duplicate Source (case sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Source field is identical between entries, regardless of the Target field, using case sensitive comparison.
  • Duplicate Source (case not sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Source field is identical between entries, regardless of the Target field, using case insensitive comparison.
  • Duplicate Target (case sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Target field is identical between entries, regardless of the Source field, using case sensitive comparison.
  • Duplicate Target (case not sensitive) - Flags the entries where the Target field is identical between entries, regardless of the Source field, using case insensitive comparison.
  • Source is the same as Target (case sensitive) - Flags all entries where the Source field is the same as the Target field, using case sensitive comparison.
  • Source is the same as Target (case not sensitive) - Flags all entries where the Source field is the same as the Target field, using case insensitive comparison.
  • Source is empty - Flags all entries that have an empty Source field, regardless whether the Target field is empty or not.
  • Only Source is empty - Flags all entries that have an empty Source field and a non-empty Target field.
  • Target is empty - Flags all entries that have an empty Target field, regardless whether the Source field is empty or not.
  • Only Target is empty - Flags all entries that have an empty Target field and a non-empty Source field.
  • Source and Target are both empty - Flags all entries where both Source and Target fields are empty.
  • Source or target has inline code - Flags all entries where at least one inline code is found in either the Source field or the Target field.

Flag also the original of each duplicate -- Set this option to flag all occurrences of a duplicate entry. This option is enabled only if one of the duplicate criteria is selected.

User-defined condition -- Set this option to flag all entries that contain a given expression in at least one of a selected set of fields. The expression can be simple text or a regular expression.

Fields -- Select the field or fields where to look for the specified expression.

Match case -- Set this option to make the given expression case-sensitive.

Match whole word -- Select this option to search only for occurrences that are whole words rather than text within words. For example, if you search for "print" with this option you will not match "prints". Note that this option work with regular expression only if the expression is not complex. For matching words with complex regular expressions use the \b assertion.

Use regular expressions -- Select this option to allow the use of regular expressions. See more details in the Regular Expressions section.

Regular Expression Help -- Click this button to open the help page on regular expressions.

Reset flags before executing the selections -- Set this option to un-flag all entries currently visible before applying the selection criteria.
