Can't add placeholder text data merge for all blocks of text on the document

I'm trying to put together a script that loops if all pages in an indesign file, search all text frames label caption1, caption2, caption3... (whenever you get to a new page, the number of text images label starts again from 1) and add a placeholder in the text data fusion: caption1, caption2, caption3... but this time, when you get to a new page the number continues to go... caption4, caption5 and so on.

Page 1 - image text = caption1 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption1 > >

Page 1 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption2 > >

Page 1 - image text = caption3 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption3 > >

page 2 - text = caption1 = image tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption4 > >

page 2 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption5 > >

Currently, the script is adding placeholder text merge data only for the two text frames first (out of 6) on a page (about 8 pages) and just the first image of text on the page two (out of 3)

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Here's the script:

myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

-SOURCE DATA CALLS FUSION

main();

main() {} function

myDataSource var = File.openDialog ("Please select a datamerge source", "text files: * .txt");

If (myDataSource! = null) {}

myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource (myDataSource);

myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergePreferences.recordsPerPage = RecordsPerPage.MULTIPLE_RECORD;

}

-MERGE OF DATA FIELD

function get_field (captionString, myDocument) {}

fields var = myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields;

for (var f = 0, l = fields.length; e < l; f ++) {}

If (fields [f] .fieldName == captionString) {}

Returns the fields [f];

}

Alert ("error: did not find all the fields with the name" + field_name);

}

THE TEXT - ADD PLACEHOLDER DATA MERGE

var countFrames = 1;

for (i = 0; i < myDocument.pages.length; i ++) {/ / TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES in the DOCUMENT}

var capPerPage = 1;

for (x = 0; x < myDocument.pages [i].textFrames.length; x ++) {//COUNT TEXT TOTAL IMAGES PER PAGE

If (myDocument.pages [i] .textFrames [x] .label < 0) {}

Alert ('can not find any image caption');

} ElseIf (.textFrames [x] myDocument.pages [i] .label == 'caption' + capPerPage) {//IF IT IS A TEXT LABEL of IMAGE 'caption1' EXECUTE

var captionString = "caption" + countFrames;

var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages [i] .textFrames [x];

var myDataMergeProperties = myDocument.dataMergeProperties;

var myTextFrame.parentStory = monarticle;

var myStoryOffset = myTextFrame.parentStory.insertionPoints [-1];

var myNamePlaceHolder = myDocument.dataMergeTextPlaceholders.add (monarticle, myStoryOffset, get_field (captionString, myDocument)); ADD DATA FUSION TEXT HOLDER TO THE TEXT BLOCK

countFrames ++; INCREASE THE NUMBER TO ADD DATA FUSION TEXT PLACEHOLDER FOR THE NEXT BLOCK OF TEXT

capPerPage ++;

}

Hello

To verify this change (replace for...) loop)

var countFrames= 0, currLabel, capPerPage;

for (i=0; i
Notice countFrames starts at 0.

How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms
Hello
How can we export itno csv data file for oracle forms
For example. I have the block called A.what never the data displayed on a block, when I click on a button, displays the block data, must be exported to the csv file.
My application is running on the unix operating system.
Please help on this.
First of all. What is your version of forms (for example: 11.1.2.2.0 not 11g). Finally, who will use the .csv file? If it is a user on their client computer - CLIENT_TEXT_IO TEXT_IO or WebUtil are standard packages used to export data to a file of Oracle Forms.
The amount of data to be exported? If you export only a couple hundred lines - export of Froms will be OK. If you export more lines than that (300 + lines) then the export will be extremely slow to your username. Keep in mind that forms is not designed to perform data exports - there are better tools available for this...

Those can be understand that the events occurred when the user change or remove the text in the document.
When the events are detected, they should provide what characters, words or phrases are added or removed from the document. In addition, they should provide the index of the text changes if they are able to do.
