Any attempt to create a GREP Style

I'm doing a GREP style to one of my paragraph styles, which will take the text from the beginning of a line to a colon and define a character style to it for "BOLD" in this part.

Example:

Step 1: Take bread

Step 2: Take peanut butter

Step 3: Spread over peanut butter bread

I don't think I got the syntax right.  I put ^ \:~h and ^: ~ h in the box ' text', thinking it meant "beginning of line until character ':' and at the end", but none of those who gave me the results I want.  Thanks in advance for the help!

Your trial:

^\:~h

1. you need to escape from the colon. It is one of the few characters who don't not need to escape and make them literal. (It doesn't hurt, you mind, but cleanliness etc..)

2. you don't need a ~ h - you only need that if you want to scan up to a manually "nested in the Style end here" code.

3. you need to allow a couple of characters between the beginning of the line and the colon. You can use the wildcard character 'not at all' (and use the shortest match, because otherwise it will engulf all until the last colon):

^.+?:

or be literal and don't allow 'Not' and a single digit:

^ \D step:

Either one will work for you.

  • Any attempt to create results by "Access denied" error zip file

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  I am logged in as administrator.  UAC is not active on this machine.

    Any attempt to create a zip file results in a dialog box stating "unable to complete the operation.  Access is denied. "
    If I select a file or group of files/folders, do a right click and say 'Send to Zip', I get this error.  Interestingly, while the error dialog box is still open, the zip file will be displayed in the current folder.  Clicking OK in the box dialog error cancels the dialog box and deletes the zip file.
    This seems to be some sort of permissions thing.  Can I create a zipfile by clicking right in the Explorer window by clicking on "new", then "compressed (zipped) folder", and it will create the file very well.  I can even give it a name.  Any attempt to copy anything in this new zip file generates an error "file not found or no read permission.  Try to delete the zip file says 'you need permission from administrators to make changes to this file.
    So now, I open the properties for the zip file and go to the Security tab.  It was there that I discovered that this file has no owner are entrusted to him.  I can then change owners, add my name as the owner of the file, assign full control to myself, apply the changes, and now the zip file can be read/written/removed normally.
    So whenever I need to create a zip file, I have to go through the steps of creating-> change the properties of the-> Assign owner-> Apply-> add files to the Zip file.  It's a royal pain in the keester.
    My question is: what changes to do to confide as the owner by default when a zip file is created?  This seems to happen with only zip files, any other type of file gives me this problem.  What happened since I got this computer brand new with Windows 7 64 - bit on it.  I can't say that it is a "Virgin" installation, he was photographed by a group of COMPUTER companies (I work for a fairly large company).  This group is a clue what happens and apparently others in our society do not report this problem.

    Solved! The problem is with the permissions on the 'TEMP' directory which is used during the process of zip. See this announcement and scroll down to "more useful answer.

  • Create a GREP Style with script? [AS] [CS4]

    Hello

    I am trying to ad a grep for a paragraph style style.

    It is easy to read/write properties that already exist, but how do I create a new?

    It is in applescript, CS4

    Rgds /Mattias

    In JavaScript, it looks like this:

    g = app.documents [0].paragraphStyles.item ("par"). nestedGrepStyles.add ();
    g.appliedCharacterStyle = app.documents [0].characterStyles.item ("smallcaps");
    g.grepExpression = "\\u\\u+";

    If you can find the equivalent of the AppleScript you're home and dry.

  • Any attempt to create 2nd instance and links for Ingres Oracle conversion

    I have an oracle instance called ORCL which has been implemented with a DB link to the Ingres database and it market. I want to create
    a second instance using the same binaries so that am not a developer. Using DBCA I created CONVERT.

    Here was my memory is faulty as to how the first case has been implemented. I have create a db link and also the entries in the
    ORACLE_HOME\hs directory for the init.ora I have a listener clocked at it lists two instances in the sid_list...
    then, when I try to query the ingres database I get

    ORA-28500: connection between ORACLE and a non-Oracle system returned this message: name [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source is not found and no driver specified default.

    My oracle database is on Windows. This is Oracle 11

    ORACLE_HOME is ORCL and CONVERT F:\apps\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\

    Db_2 is set up for the 2nd instance to only the redo logs and control files...

    db_1\hs has two files init... one for ORCL and CONVERT

    My pick is the instance to CONVERT as SYS...

    Select count (*) in test_table@SDFA_INGRES;

    and then I get the above error.

    What I'm missing or wrong? Can I have 2 HS services defined in a listener or a need to separate the listeners?

    Appreciate any assistance. Excuse my typos... I am on another system and can't cut and paste. So I might have
    a few typos... thank you.

    I don't know that it's a specific thing to Ingres. Maybe this helps:

  • Any attempt to create a keyboard shortcut causes crash hearing?

    I've been running hearing continued for some time.  No problems to speak of.

    I decided to create a keyboard shortcut now.  Instant crash.Screen Shot 2013-05-06 at 3.42.26 PM.png

    So, what are the exact steps series that follow you until the moment of the accident?  Also, could you send a copy of this report to crash OS X to [email protected] ?  You can find this file by launching /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and open the 'diagnostic user reports' whirl down on the right column.  Drag the most recent crash of hearing report in an e-mail message.

    One thing to try as well.  Open Finder, click OK in the menu bar, hold down OPTION and click on the "Library" folder (this is a hidden default folder).  Then go to Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/ and find an old one called "shortcuts" and rename the "Shortcuts.old" then start hearing and try again to create a shortcut.  Is there a change in behavior?

  • Any attempt to create an interactive map with flash - errors with my actionscript

    I currently have a problem by creating a set of buttons that are supposed to put the individual layers on and off.  The layers I have are: places of fishing, facilities, trails, map elements, aerial photo and car parks.  He is in error #s 1119 and 1120.  Anyone could explain the possible reasons I get these errors.

    It might be worth mentioning that I used a tutorial made with Flash CS4, but I write the code in CS5.  This is the exact code I use:

    spots._visible = false;

    facilities._visible = false;

    parking._visible = false;

    Elements._visible = true;

    First of all, your use of == versus = is correct, as you have.  == to test for equality, = is for value assignment.  As a shortcut under test for true false you can avoid it altogether however because the conditional is just test the value of what is inside the parenthesis... If (parking._visible is false) {may simply be if (! parking._visible) {}}

    The next thing, check to make sure that your publication settings are fixed for Actionscript 2.  Those who seem to be the AS3 error numbers that mean your file are implemented for AS3, but you use AS2 code.

  • GREP style: Find all the letters between

    I am trying to create a GREP style to deal with a signature of two lines like this:

    -Name of the author,

    Source cited

    I want the name of the author to be caps/sc and the font that I use has an established expert, so I need to replace only the lowercase characters of the name of the author with the sc. character style

    So far, what I did is creat a character style that is defined as the Roman. I then to my grep styles:

    peps.jpg

    The italic style applies to the 2nd line (after a forced line break) very well.

    However, I can't do it sc style to apply to my lc between the em dash characters and the comma. I can get the sc to be applied to the whole line, if I use '. ' for any character, but "\l" does nothing for me...

    Someone at - it advice?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Thanks for the help. You led me in the right direction.

    I was doing too complicated and I still don't have a firm grasp on what GREP may or may not do.

    I solved the problem with GREP styles:

    The reason that I can't apply sc for the first line is because the font I'm using is old and includes a set of expert. In police expertise, there are only small capitals. Strikes in uppercase are reserved for the factions, currency symbols and other glyphs not standards.

    Best,

    You will need to run the "fusion" in the context menu of a reg file, published as part of the solution to change some registry settings. On any folder, you'll get a context menu 'Take Ownership' which restores the property correctly. This solves a lot of problems installing.

  • GREP style quandry

    Hello

    I have problems with a piece of GREP style to a paragraph.

    The question is this:

    I have a long paragraph of information that is punctuated by coloned headers. There is no paragraph breaks between the inputs and the next kN, only a Euclidean space. Each subheader is different in number of words and some of the entries have barely more than 1.

    I used the following simple GREP to apply a 'fat' style for headers:

    (?<=\.). +?:

    This concludes the colon and the text fine, but the postanalyse positive for the fullpoint stop design merges if there is more than one fullpoint (IE more than one sentence) in the previous entry and will include all the text after the first fullpoint in the previous entry as well.

    That is to say, a section which is:

    ... end of the previous entry. Another: blah, blah. BLADY boo. Next: Boohoo. ...

    Makes me:

    ... end of the previous entry. Another: Blah, blah. Blady boo. Next: Boohoo. ...

    Instead of:

    ... end of the previous entry. Another: Blah, blah. Boo Blady. Next: Boohoo. ...

    It seems that the GREP is to see the first fullpoint (after "blah" as the only important and not close to the colon (the one after "boo").

    Unfortunately, you try to use the matching shorter codes before the postanalyse seems to break the GREP entirely.

    So the question is:

    Is it all the same to a positive (or equivalent) postanalyse this first fullpoint before the colon? Or I am in cloud cuckooland with this one?

    This was the crazy driving all week, because it seems simple, but this new man GREP can't break it!

    I tried a lot of combinations and even attempted a second GREP style to cancel the error in the first, but this due to its own problems.

    Thanks for any help/pointers and thanks for looking, even if you can't.

  • Find whole words with Grep Style

    Hi, need some help with this, he cannot know.

    I need to find some words in the style of a paragraph. I have created a character style to 'be bold' and you want to paraghaph style 'ainesosat' to use it when there are words in the paragraph.

    the words are for example

    Rasvaton maitojauhe

    Maitojauhe

    Juustojauhe

    Kerma

    VOI

    I know I can find these with this string:

    Rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe: Kerma. VOI

    but I don't want to find for example:

    Voimakassuolainen

    -includes "Voi".

    Also the words could begin with capital letter or not. I can of course dublicate chain and do both, with or without capital letters, but if there is a better solution for it, I'd be happy to hear...

    Tero

    1. add parentheses and word limits:

    \b(rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe | Kerma. \B voi)

    2. Add the flag "ignore case" at the beginning:

    (? i) \b(Rasvaton maitojauhe | Maitojauhe | Juustojauhe | Kerma. \B voi)

    See InDesign help | Find/replace for GREP options. You can use almost all the search commands in a GREP style, but does not replace those. ('Almost', because a GREP style, by definition, is limited to a single paragraph to work, and tempting to cross paragraphs automatically him will fail.)

  • Grep style short (non-greedy) modifier ignored

    I'm looking for confirmation of a possible bug I've had problems with InDesign version 5.5 upwards through the DC 10.0.0.70.

    What I'm trying to do is apply a character by a rule of grep style in a paragraph style that matches all through the first colon in a block of text. The goal is to make this text bold. My rule of grep is

    .+?:

    which means corresponds to one or more of any character, the shortest correspondence (non-gourmand in the terminology of grep), followed by two points. But the non-greedy modifier is ignored and it does match the text up to the last two points.

    Here is a screenshot.

    Screen Shot 2014-10-02 at 5.05.14 PM.PNG

    I came up with a work around, but it would be nice to make it work properly. I will report it as a bug if others confirm having the same problem. Thank you.

    It works just like it is supposed to - you aren't limited to the first occurrence of the colon, so it matches the first string through the first colon, then matches the following string until the second colon and so on.

    If you want to apply from the beginning of the paragraph to the first two points, you can use ^. + ? :, but it would be much simpler and more effective to use regular nested style through two points 1.

  • Loss of the GREP styles

  • GREP style allows text in square brackets

    I'm just starting to understand some ways that I can use GREP in the messy confusion of the documents that I have to work here, so patient with me...

    We have a load of technical writers here who do not necessarily have a lot of experience InDesign, but be used to enter text. A text must be "BOLD" to attract the attention of the end user, so I thought I could use GREPs for apply a bold style to certain words and phrases that occur in any of the documents. Such a forum is intended for users to renew the clips or bolts or similar, so I did what I think is a GREP which finds 'renew' and applies to every word between it and a return or a period (but exclude the word "renewed", because the other permutations that follows):

    renew (?.) Ed.*?). +(\.| \r)

    That works very well in most places. But I fell on cases where there is an image reference in parentheses after the occurrences of 'renew' in places (such as "you must renew the clips (see figure 6)'") and I would like to exclude the media and their content of style. But as a beginner, I had a little if bogged down hit brick walls trying to find ways to do it. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

    Thanks for any help.

    Doug, you use GREP (to find and replace) or GREP Styles? (by your description of what it does)

    If GREP Styles:

    1 no need to use (\. | \r) at the end GREP Styles automatically stop at the end of each paragraph.

    2. no need to use (?) Ed.*?) a simple (?.) ED) is enough here, as long as this corresponds to what didn't really matter if / what follows.

    Try it shorter:

    renew (?.) ED) [^ ()] +

    -This text makes bold to 'renew' and the end of the paragraph * or * up to the first parenthesis.
