ChangeCase [JS]

I have this piece of code

find = app.documents [0] .findGrep ();
for (i = 0; i < finds.length; i ++) {}
finds [i] .silence = finds [i].contents.toLowerCase (); }

That works very well for the lowercase and uppercase

Can someone tell me how to get TitleCase or sentence case to work please...

Use the InDesign changecase options:

discoveries [i] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.titlecase);

Make a case to sentence the words?

Hi I'm doing a script to change all the major changes we make in a document. I'm sure that grep will take care of this, but again, I am trying to combine about 6 different functions in a script. How would I go about changing the 2 lines of text in the event of conviction? The top line should be changed and the 2 bottom would need has changed because of the sentence. Is it possible to add this grep string in my script?

Fixing of capitalization of the index

I'm creating an index by working through the document, pointing out the words or phrases I want, press option 7 (CS4 on Mac). However, many of the words begin with a capital letter in the text while I'm envy them all lowercase in the index. I can fix it at registration. However, is there a way I could, once the index is finalized and I do not need to be updated more, change them to all lowercase letters as a batch? At that point, they will be just like another block of text.

Hi Mary,

If the first character in the origin of each paragraph in the story, which contains the text of the index, start with lowercase letters?

Then you can use an ExtendScript (JavaScript) to set the first character at the beginning of each paragraph of the selected lowercase text.

Select all of the text, which should be assigned, and run the following script:
```
app.selection[0].paragraphs.everyItem().characters[0].changecase(ChangecaseMode.LOWERCASE);
```
For usage, mounting and installation of ExtendScript scripts scroll down page of Peter Kahrel:

Change the case on several documents

Hello!

I'm very new to scripting, and I have the following script that is "Upper" text and change for real uppercase. I work with ID CS 6 on Windows XP.

The script works on a single document, if there is an open, if not, it asks for a file and process all INDD files in this folder.

That's what I have:

if(app.documents.length != 0){
    processDocument(app.activeDocument);
    alert("Done!");
    }
else {
    _folder = Folder('~/Desktop').selectDlg("Select folder");
    if(_folder == null) exit();
    _files = _folder.getFiles("*.indd");
    if(_files.length == 0){
            alert("No INDD files in the selected folder!");            
        }
    else {
        for (i=0; i<_files.length; i++){
        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
        _inddFile = _files[i]
        doc = app.open(_inddFile);
        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;      
        processDocument(doc);
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.yes);
        } 
    alert("Done!");
    }
}

function processDocument(doc) {    
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Red';
    var _results = doc.findGrep();
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;    
    _length = _results.length;
    for (i=0; i<_length; i++) {
        _results[i].texts[0].changecase(ChangecaseMode.uppercase);
        _results[i].texts[0].capitalization = Capitalization.normal;
        _results[i].texts[0].appliedCharacterStyle = 'Blue';
    }
}

The script works well on a single document, but for some reason any that it does not work on several documents. I try the script on 4 files with this content (the colors are added in the text only to help verify the results):

Whenever the first or the first two documents are processed correctly, the others are not processed at all. But I get no error message. Where is the problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Luca

I tried to recreate your problem once again and I don't have something similar. I know it's not normal, but mine started when I changed the variable i in the second. I see that they have a different scope, but somehow she made the difference. Could you try it by chance?

Hi John,.

".name" should be added at line 8 with appliedParagraphStyle. Change line 8 Jarek script as below.

find uppercase - change down

Hi all
I have a bibliography that contains many names in uppercase.
Is there a script or grep to find all of these words and change them alive in lower case only the first letter capitalized?
for example: MARK TWAIN > Marc Twain; G. ORSON WELLES > g. Orson Welles
I can find uppercase with grep "\u+" but I can't change them in lowercase.
Thanks in advance

Try this,

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\u+";

find = app.selection [0] .findGrep ();

for (var i = 0; i)<>

finds [i] .texts [0]. ChangeCase (ChangecaseMode.titlecase);

}

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

How to insert a signal to find out (all?) script is run?

This script works silently and without advice, but sometimes the double click is not well done.
And the only way to check if the output is export the file, which is a waste of time.
I would insert a line which confirms the action.
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\l\\l+";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item ("XX");
foundList = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);
for (i = 0; i < foundList.length; i ++)
foundList [i] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.UPPERCASE);
Thank you:

Hi Camilo,

At the end of the script, add this line:
```
alert ('Done!');
```
or, if you're desperate to know how many times the character style has been applied,
```
alert ('Found ' + i + ' acronyms.');
```

higher to lower the selected text

Change the THIRD character lowercase
Peter Kahrel wrote the original of the present.
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "list";
Third paragraph lowercase letter:
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» {3}";
found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i ++)
found [i] .characters [2] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase);
The script above (modified by Peter) works very well (ID CC), but would it be possible to make it work on a selected instead of level paragraph text? because we can always change the name of style (new paragraph because of export txt to other applications).
To be clear: select text and run the script for the selection.

Hello

Look at the two lines:

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "list";

Comment this line to turn off the status of .appliedParagraphStyle

found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

change the red part of the line to set another target for the findGrep() method, that is:

found = app.selection [0] .findGrep () / / if the text selected

or

found = app.selection [0].parentStory.findGrep () / / if textFrame selected

uppercase to lowercase in the list 'false. '

http://InDesignSecrets.com/convert-text-to-lowercase-with-grep-utility.php
Is a thread that I found. It converts the first char in a paragraph style "list bullet" in lowercase.
Works very well, but often we have lists for that, for several reasons, we cannot use the automatic feature 'list' (copy paste issues with other programs, etc.). The first tank is the - (alt + 0151) followed by a space (no tab) or • tank (alt + 0149).
I can't understand it with grep function, because there is no mention of the possibility of "tiny".
Any suggestions?

I was able to change the script of Peter Kahrel quite easily to change the third character instead of the first, which I think would be to do what you want.

Change the THIRD character lowercase

Peter Kahrel wrote the original of the present.

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "list";

Third paragraph lowercase letter:

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» {3}";

found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

for (i = 0; i< found.length;="">

found [i] .characters [2] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase);

I changed

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^." TO

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» {3}"; If she takes the first three characters of the paragraph instead of a single

and

found in [i] .characters [0] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase); TO

found [i] .characters [2] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase); then, it changes the third character instead of the first.

The script always depends on the text aving a named style applied (in this case I left it to the 'list') you may need to further modify to change the name of style to match your situation.

And if you wanted, I think you could probably change app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^." for app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + » ; to find all of the paragraph, and then change the index in the table to match any character position of your choice, but I don't think that a lot of purpose. One of the Scripting Guys could probably Jazz with an interface that asks the character you want to change.

Help: How to fix a line in this script (well almost) on the change of the actual text capital LETTERS?

app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\l\\l+";
app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item ("SC");
foundList = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);
for (i = 0; i < foundList.length; i ++)
foundList [i] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.UPPERCASE);
The idea is to choose the magenta words in salt to be set in uppercase.
The problem is the script (based in Jongware and P. Kahrel) is to convert all the texts for no capital letters not assuming that the condition to the style of characters 'SC'.
Instead, it evolves throughout the text:

Try:

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item ("SC");

I had wanted this script to work for centuries, as well, but I started studying javascript in InDesign several weeks reading Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with Javascript by Peter Kahrel. Even though it says CS3/4, he won't be in CS5. Not sure if Peter put updated recently or not.

In any case, thanks to that and Haakenlid and Manan help, I was able to update the script and make it work successfully. I the extent of change "app.findPreferences = null;" to "app.findTextPreferencess = NothingEnum.NOTHING;", but I was stuck on line 43 (myFinds = myDoc.search...).

Cleanup script

Hi all

Often, we translate indesign files using a cat tool to open the idml file. But most of the InDesign files that are sent to us was created by people who take a great many short cuts to get things to fit, that might be good for them but not for us.

We need a script that affect all kerning 0 or a constant value throughout a document, delete all text stretched and change something with true uppercase all THE CORKS.

There is a little more things to do to clean it upward which can take a few hours for a large document so it would be good that he had a script that could do or if anyone knows how to create one for us, we would be happy to work with you to create.

Here is a new version:

const kerningConstant = 0;
var doc = app.activeDocument,
stories = doc.stories,
story, text, s, t;

for (var s = 0; s < stories.length; s++) {
     story = stories[s];
     for (var t = 0; t < story.texts.length; t++) {
          text = story.texts[t];
          text.kerningValue = kerningConstant;
          text.verticalScale = 100;
          text.horizontalScale = 100;
          ChangeCase(text);
     }
}

function ChangeCase(text) {
     var i, found;
     if (text.contents != "") {
          app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
          app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
          app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.ALL_CAPS;
          var found = text.findGrep();
          if (found.length > 1) {
               for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
                    // $.writeln( i + " - " + found[i].constructor.name + "/"+ found[i].contents );
                    found[i].changecase(ChangecaseMode.UPPERCASE);
               }
