Some ideas for code replacements for tennis

[Claude Diderich]

Hi,
Here are some code replacements I am using to caption tennis photos quickly. I pre-populate all the IPTC fields, especially Event, Location, City, and Country with their respective data and put $!$ into the caption field. Then on a photo by photo basis, I only have to enter c12rh after the $! to caption a handshake photo, etc.

# Match specific code replacements (I update them for each match I caption and reload the CR file thereafter)
# --
p1   Player 1
+p1   $p1$ of Country 1
p2   Player 2
+p2   $p2$ of Country 2

!event   men's single first round match

# Event specific code replacements (I update them for each tournament)
# --
=s240706   one
=s240707   two
=s240708   three
=s240709   four
=s240710   five
=s240711   six
=s240712   seven

This looks very interesting! Can you give an example of final string you get as a result?

Thanks! It makes sense now..
Hardest thing now would be to remember all the shortcuts, but if you made them yourself it is probably very easy.

Love your nested code replacement use. Such a great idea

As the great xzibit used to say...

we gonna put some code replacements inside your code replacements
