Application updates in bold and in italics while doing a search/replace on the contents of merged data

Hello
Wonder kind knowledgeable people if you can help me with a question find/replace.

I'm doing a fusion of data of book content in indesign, where my data merge file is a simple text csv file that is delimited by tabs. I have two things (almost like here) I would like to make to specific parts of the text, but do not know how to achieve this.

-First of all, I would like to preserve the words/phrases of form 'italic', but it's obviously lost in a csv file.  Is there anyway that I can mark these words so a search/replace can make this italic of the word.  Im hoping that there is a solution that looks something like this;
for example.  Content of the book is 'the italics of the word needs to be adjusted.
Original content is modified to be "the word $Italic $ $ needs to be adjusted", so that a dollar sign encapsulates the word in italics.
Then I am able to merge data from the csv file and somehow make a search/replace words/phrases that are wrapped by the dollar sign.  So, do a find/replace all the words/phrases that satisfy this condition and then apply italic to all the words between the dollar signs.

-My other question is that I use the ' |' character in my text to determine paragraph separators.  I then do a find/replace after you import the text to replace all occurrences of ' |' for the paragraph separator (a kind of symbol $, a representative character in the menu drop down to the right of the change to). It works fine, but I would like to make a "BOLD" format paragraph separator so that it can better distinguish the separation of text sections.

But this is different from my problem "italic" above, since I am trying to apply a "BOLD" format to the character "change to", rather than something that exists in my original csv.

Hope I think, but I'd be happy to provide you with screenshots etc. (when I get home at )

two solutions.

for the solution of italics, I would say that the OP has answered his own question with one exception - do not use the symbols dollar, instead use = or another character that is not reserved by GREP.

the solution I would use for italics would be a GREP search once the merger completed. Take a look at the picture to see what I did.

the second solution: styles GREP.

This means that the text will have a paragraph style are entrusted to him. make a style and character called "BOLD" in this style, the only thing to change is located in basic character formats, set the bold font style. might even make the character another example cyan color is more easily strucure.

Then go to the paragraph style options, click on GREP styles and correspond to the following screengrab

the advantage with a GREP style is that once the vertical bar (|) is replaced, the GREP style bold is lost; and that means less post processing and not needing a second search of the text - it's all living.

  • The free upgrade to Windows 10 for new or existing Windows 7 SP1, Windows Update 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices qualified that upgrade the first year

    I had my laptop of HP 2000 for about 1 1/2 years, and had Windows 8 (not 8.1) preinstalled. The only problem: when you install the Technical Preview, my hard drive was completely wiped out and now I have no disk recovery plant. I would like to know if I can still qualify for the free upgrade offer for Windows 10.

  • I have a disc in my Mac and can not understand about where to go read the content?

    I have a disc in my desktop iMac computer and can't figure out how to break through the buttons right or my computer to read the content of the program?

    Double-click the icon of the disk on the desktop. I hope that you have installed an application that can read the content for you.

    If you don't see the icon of the disk on the desktop, open the Finder, then go to the Finder menu bar and click Finder > Preferences, and then select the general tab and then make sure: CD, DVD and iPods is selected.

  • Preferences (such as the 'general' and 'sync') windows appear more correctly. Much of the content is not displayed...

    Hello
    Because I can't view all the contents of the preferences window, it is no longer possible to set Firefox on all my personal preferences.
    Windows just stay too short, so much of the content is covered.
    I don't know when the issue began.
    Disable all modules and restart Firefox made no difference.
    Any suggestions?

    This could be a problem with the theme you are using.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • Update CC info and 10 drivers Windows does not solve the problem

    I'm on a Dell 64-bit computer using the Intel HD graphics driver.  I also have a creative cloud subscription.  Until a few months ago, I was able to use 3d in photoshop and had no other problem with one of the applications.  I started to receive an error message when you open Illustrator who told me that I have a driver was updated.  I foloowed the instructions, then each link and fact what ANYBODY suggested to try to solve this problem.  If it's on the internet and on this subject... I tried already.

    So, now I turn to you guys for asking the question plaguing my mind for over a month now... What's wrong?  Is this a problem of creative cloud?  What is my drivers?  What is my operating system? Is it me?

    I downloaded Intel update utility... it tells me that it cannot find the drivers for my product... but I know that they are there because my CC app preferences show that I use the Intel HD drivers.  I've also updated manually each individually about a week ago.

    I updated my operating system, I refreshed even my computer, all redownloaded and updated of the CC apps... but nothing works.

    Can someone tell me PLEASE in the right direction?  Thank you!

    Hi called,.

    I don't exactly know about you, but I can tell you that the Intel integrated HD graphics are not sufficient for use for most of the CC apps. You want to have a dedicated graphics card with at least 2 GB RAM video. This ability becomes more and more necessary, because the CC apps do more appeal to the graphics capabilities of the card. Photoshop is a good example, with each new version, the graphics card requirements have become more demanding.

  • Updates of patches and downloads for windows xp that took place after the release of sp3

    Is there or will there be any type of packs of update that I can incorporate into my windows xp pro sp3 install cd using nlite [or not] would make it easier to keep my system up to date when I Custom installed my system?

    I know that there is a very explicit "' response to sp4. I'm looking for the next great thing.

    It's one pain in the end have to install windows, then all the .net stuff, light silver, patches and other from windows update, and slipstream, and then in an installation using nlite, so I can have it later when I re-install the operating system.

    I think microsofts plan works however. I think to upgrade my xp system to vista sp2.

    Thanks to a witness of anomaly.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no Pack update that you can install to keep your computer up to date. The only option is to download and install up-to-date or patches updates manually
    After Service pack 3 because there will be no more service pack for XP.

  • I had to install Win XP because I replaced my hard drive there SP 1a and I'm trying to update to SP2 and then SP3 - I can't do it via the Windows Update site - do I need to do?

    It's a Dell Dimension 2400 and I have the original CD of the operating system (Windows XP Professional including Service Pack 1a).

    I also have the MS XP product key of the "label" on the side of the computer.

    Also, I use Norton 360 and who will download this machine as soon as I have the other updates that have been completed.

    After you install N360 follow these steps:

    (1) performance "Live update", may need to run it more than once to install the updates. Note: A reboot may be necessary.

    (2) run a "full system scan".

    (3) run a full scan of the "reputation".

    This will reduce the initial impact of any perception of a slowdown in performance. If you have N360V5 you are entitled to a free upgrade to N360V6.

  • A local application can be started and used on a page of Web site by the local user

    can we build a way for a user to a Web site to open a desktop application on the local computer and run it through a page window.  Just curious...  Thank you

    You could certainly have a desktop application open a web page in a browser, but not the reverse without the user giving permission for it. If you think to give the user the ability to use a web site without being connected to the internet, then look-up offline web sites/pages using browsers service workers.
