• Erase the numbers using GREP?

  Hi guys,.

  Could someone help me please? I only find GREP in inDesign if Im not that clued up on it. I searched the web, but can't seem to find a way to remove the numbers from sequntial a document - is it possible?

  I essentially several documents containing some old page numbers in parentheses - is possible to use GREP to search and delete, including the media? That is to say, [1], [2], [3], etc.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  [Of course, try this: \[\d+\]

  This will find any number of numbers in brackets, including the media.

  Hope that helps.

• Use Grep to find/replace

  I'm trying to find how to use GREP in find/replace of chage the formatting of a text which is a spreadsheet.

  I worked on the GREP query "~ b (\d\d) ~ b ', which is a paragraph return, followed by two digits, followed by another paragraph of return

  and then it is replaced by ' \t $1 ~ b ', which is a tab, found two numbers and a paratrooper returned.

  What I have to do is change the query to search for ANY number of digits, (which may be delimited by commas: e.g. 23, 36, 48, 50), then replace with a tab + found text.

  I guess what I'm looking for is a way for the query find "any text between two paragraph returns, no matter what that length", but I don't know how to do this. All of the generic options seem to find a single exampler (a figure, a character etc.)

  And you came so far

  Repetition operators are? (zero or one), * (zero or more) and + (one or more times). You can also specify the exact number: {at least up to the}.

  All of these operators are "greedy" by default - they match as much as possible. To to match as less as possible (which I'm sure you will come, sooner or later), add another? After the expression of repeat.

  If this is a number, then possibly another (which will be always included):

  \D\d?

  and what a figure, then zero or as much as 9999999,93856 million:

  \D\d*

  which is functionally identical

  \d+

  And it is between 3 and 8 figures but will be forced to use the shortest possible match:

  \d{3,8}?

  Having said that: a quick & dirty solution for your real problem is to find any amount of numbers, spaces, and comma:

  ~ b [\d,] + ~ b

  (there are more here because otherwise it would correspond also to an empty line). The [..] a list of the hooks - it will match to any unique inside code.

  A more complicated but 'cleaner' way is looking very precisely that for many, comma, space, number sequences - it is cleaner because it lines poorly trained (comma without a space) is fried!

  (She also has another code - operators in parentheses. Look at their place in a good reference GREP - lost people are enthusiastic about Peter Kahrel O'Reilly title, because there on the use of GREP in InDesign.)

  ~b\d+(, \d+)*~b)

• I use GREP to do this?

  I created my OCD for my book very well. In my content, the positions of each chapter are drawn using the entries in the table of contents, and then followed by its page number.

• Adding hyperlinks and text ankles using Grep

  Hi all

  I tried to add both a hyperlink text source and destination within my document using Grep, but I can't seem to do things. I'm looking to find the source text that has the style of paragraph "1HD" and begins with the word 'History', and then turn that into the source text for the hyperlink. Secondly, that the text "References" later to become the anchor of the text to the destination of the link. As a reference, here is what is defined:

  var myHeader = app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "1HD";
  var myHeader = app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "Historical \w*";
  

  as well as

  var myAnchor = app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "";
  var myAnchor = app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "References";
  

  I did experiment with information I could get my hands on in line, but I always feel to get an error or another. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  Regards and thanks in advance.

  app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "MN_first";
  var myFound1 = myDoc.findGrep();
  
  count = 0
  for(k=0; k
  To anchor text, use the code below:

• Use GREP to apply paragraph styles, character styles not only

  I have a body of text, and in it, I would like to apply a specific style to the paragraphs corresponding to a model. I did a GREP style that applied some changes formatting of paragraphs, I tried that it affects, but in doing so, I found that I couldn't Center these lines using a character style. (The corresponding lines should be centered, and the rest should be left aligned.)

  I was thrilled to learn that the GREP function, then completely disappointed with this limitation. InDesign offers the possibility to automate this, so I must not cross and Center each paragraph corresponding to the hand?

  Thank you!

  InDesign provides a way to automate this so?

  Yes and no. There is no dynamically linked paragraph styles to a paragraph about his boss, but he has at least two alternatives:

  (1) use Grep-F/C

  (2) use the script FindChangeByList or MultiFindChange which is basically automate operations F/C

• How to use GREP expression to group the last two words of a paragraph?

  Hi guys, I'm dealing with a document that is riddled with the orphan and want to use GREP to get rid of them all.

  I found this thread talking about how to group all the last 10 characters. But in my language, you can have up to 4 words together (almost a third of the sentence!) and still not break the limit of 10 characters. So if I use this expression, a sentence cut in half way, which make the whole paragraph looks horrible. I also tried the (\s\w+)? $ expression, but he left a few intact orphans (No. very random, model at all).

  So is there any other expression that can make the last 2 words of any paragraph together like glue stick?

  (\H+?\h ?) {2} $

• Can I use GREP to transform every fourth tab back?

  I have a huge file with tabs plus 5,000, and only every fourth tab must be changed for a return. Is this possible using GREP or ANY OTHER METHOD and pressing back another me having to manually select each fourth tab?

  This screen is pulled before running GREP? You don't mention he had already returns after the names in some places.

  You need the * after all the [^ \t] elements, but avoids the. +. [^ \t] is a negative class, that means anything that is not a tab, and the * means 0 or more times.

  And you said every fourth tab, so it's actually the tab after the postal code, and which seems to do what you ask. If you want to change the tab after the name on the first line, I this would address differently.

  Find ^(.*?\t.*?) (\t) (?!\(\d{3}\)) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph (if there is) followed by a tab and more characters (if there are any), then a followed by three digits in parentheses DO NOT tab, and change $ 1 which should only change the tabs after the names. It is, however to change the tab after the postal code if the following line does not begin with three digits in brackets.

  Looking at the ads, are you sure you want to change this tab for a paragraph, rather than just a forced line break return (you can do by changing to $1\n)? It depends on how your styles are implemented...

• How to add keywords to my images using DW?

  How to add keywords to my images using DW?

  Well, there is keywords, then there are "Key words", here is an example...

  .. .is completely obsolete for the reason that I suggest in this example of tag itself. There was a time, long ago in the age of darkness of web design, when the keywords meta was actually used to determine the content of the page to a certain extent. Developers immediately took advantage and started to cram what they thought in the , or even completely independent but of the popular search terms, in the hope that it would affect their classification. He did, for a time, until the more intelligent search engines and began ignoring totally the tag all together.

  "Key words" changed direction after that. Now search engines actually look at the content of your page and determine what your page is about. Keyword making rich, correspondent html text (not strange blocks of text random coma separated more) is one of the things (there are a lot of pieces for Search Engine Optimization or SEO) which determines if a person find using a word or phrase.
