String from Android :

<string name="android">
         <![CDATA[
           <font color="#999999">(%s)</font>
         ]]>
</string>

After (--export-swift):

"android" = "\n ";

Hi. I am trying to use this tool to convert string resources from an existing android project. The very first try resulted in the error described below:

Command executed:
bash-3.2$ ruby ios-res-tool/ios-strings.rb --import-android="/Users/smoky/AndroidstudioProjects/NICEAdminBlue/app/src/main/res" --export-ios=./res

resulted in:
........

The tool looks very promising to me but I do not have knowledge of ruby yet to be able to fix it

Hey @SteveKChiu , I was wondering, are you planning to support the new syntax of the language?

Edit: Made a PR #2

First of all thanks for the great scripts. It's really simple to use them :).

When using the ios-strings.rb script in our project I encountered issues with strings that included styling with html tags. Only the first element/text element was included in the ios string after the import from android.

Example of a problematic string: <string name="nicebox">Nice<b>box</b></string>. In android I use it via ui_widget.setText(getText(R.string.nicebox)) and it correctly sets the text but on ios when I use it via some_function_to_parse_html(R.string.nicebox^) the output is just Nice the <b>box</b> part gets completely ignored.

I fixed the script so it works for our project here: jakgra@0df360a and can create a pull request if you want ?, but I'm not sure it doesn't break some other use case.

The android documentation describing styled strings embeded in strings.xml files: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource.html#StylingWithHTML https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getText(int) and some examples of usage: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45647928/what-is-the-difference-between-getstring-and-gettext
