• Find/change Grep can't find one instance per paragraph, where wrong me?

  Hello

  I use a find/change Grep to find any price with a comma and change this comma to a thin space (the newspaper style).

  But the Grep considers only the first instance of this paragraph.

  Example of text...

  "$200 $200 000 000 $200,000."

  text at the beginning of paragraph $200,000

  $200,000 at the end of the paragraph text

  $200,000 tab. »

  In the sample, the grep would miss the second and third prize on the first line.

  I use...

  Find...

  (?<=\$) (\d{3})\,? ({\d{3})

  also tried (\$\d{3})\,? ({\d{3})

  Set up...

  $1 ~ <$ 2

  Is there anything I can add to find these last two prices?

  I use this in combination with script Batch find replace, so different greps are set up for 5, 6 and 7 digits starting by $.

  Thank you.

  Try this,

• Problem with find/change GREP

  Hi, try to run by default find/replace InDesign AppleScript script to solve many formatting problems in a large document. One of them is occurences of a two-digit dollar figure followed by a comma (eg. "$ 10") that needs to be changed to have no comma.

  Use GREP I can pick it up by searching for "\$\d\d", but when I replace it with '\$\d\d' I get the string "\$\d\d". IE. "$ 10" becomes "\$\d\d" instead of "$ 10." I'm misunderstanding how works the part 'change' grep? Can someone advise?

  FYI the line in the search/replace support .txt doc is:

  grep

  {find what: "-\\d\\d$,"}

  {change to: "\\$\\d\\d"}

  {include notes: true, include master pages: true include hidden layers: true, any word: false}

  Remove commas after the price.

  .. What includes the extra backslashes to escape the backslash which are part of the GREP expression.

  Any help much appreciated!

  Thank you.

  On Grep Pallette, use below syntax to find two or more digit dollar figure followed by a text of commas,

  Search: (\$\d+),

  Change of: $1

• Find format preferences in a script of find/change GREP?

  Hi all

  I create my first script to search/replace to run GREP queries several at once. But I am struggling to find how to specify the Format to find: preferably in the script that can be in the usual find/replace dialog box.

  Here is an example of a line in my script. What I want to achieve is for the line search for words/characters who currently have [standard paragraph] applied and then change the format of a paragraph style particular, I called "team name"...

  grep {findWhat: "(.+) ', appliedParagraphStyle: '[standard paragraph]'"} {changeTo: '$1', appliedParagraphStyle: 'The team name'} {} / / apply style name team

  BTW, I use the standard FindChangeByList script that comes with Indesign. Any help/comments are appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Marco

  Instead of the name of the style, try the object of paragraph style:

  grep {findWhat: "(.+)", .paragraphStyles appliedParagraphStyle:app.documents [0] [1] ""} {changeTo: '$1', appliedParagraphStyle: 'new style'} {}

• Of find/change GREP question

  Salvation of the Italy,

  I need to find each "2" in the words "CO2" and apply (only on the ' 2') index style.

  I can't figure out how. If I search all the 2 at the end of a word I also find 2002 and O2, if I find (CO) (2) and replace it with $12 style index applies to the "CO2" not only "2"...

  Can anyone help?

  Luca

  It's a classic: this forum for the shows "CO2 GREP" search this particular application is a good example of Advanced GREP trickery.

  Short version: you want to search for it:

• Find/change grep

  Hi all

  I need to insert a linebreak forced after the first comma in each paragraph. If the paragraph contains a comma, no problem but if theres more whether inserts all the af or the last (due to the nature of the grep).

  Is there a way to limit the grep for the opener?

  I tried the following:

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ' (. +?,)';

  app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "$1\n";

  and

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ' (. +?,) (. +?) [, *])';

  app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "$1\n$ 2 ';

  Hope we can nail; (o)

  molsted

  Search: ^(.+?),

  Change of: $1, \n

  The circumflex accent ^ stands for 'start of paragraph' so he and the lazy operator (as you have already done) combine to restrict the GREP to the first comma only.

• Table of clusters and the cluster is a bar counter, how can I change the color individually?

  Table of clusters and the cluster is a bar counter, how do I change the color of the bar individual meter for each element of the array?  I just realized that you cannot change the properties of an element of the array without changing everything.  For scale, I had to make digital for each graduation of the scale indicators so that each measure meter in the table in the cluster has individual scales.  I also had to do some calculations for each barmeter to display the correct proportions of 0 to 100% on the scale.  Now, I'm stumped on the color of the bar counter.  Basically, if the value exceeds a set value, the meter bar should turn red.  It must be in a table to be infinitely scalable.

  Thank you

  Matt

  And yet anothr approach...

  Right click on the bar of > Options to fill > maximum fill.

  

  The fill color of the same color as the background color, then make the background color transparent.

  Drop a box of color BEHIND the bar and the size correctly.

  He has this strange background 3D with flat bar, but what the Hey, his relatives. If its important a custom color box.

• GREP find/change - how to change time of uppercase letters to lowercase?

  I'm doing some final, proofreading and correction of the text in a book I helped design.

  I've had some success using GREP find/replace.  But I can't make it work in the following case.

  I want to do is find all occurrences of 'Nature' and change to 'nature '. (Uppercase to lowercase simple substitution.)

  BUT I want to exclude all instances of 'Mother Nature'. (Keep uppercase "n" in Nature.)

  Assistance from Adobe, I should be able to use a negative Lookbehind expression.  I tried to type in the search box... Nature(?<!) The mother)

  But he finds everything... 'nature', 'Nature', 'Mother Nature', which is not much help.

  Can someone please tell me where is my mistake and how to correct?

  Search: (?)

  Replace with: nature

• Urgent need help with find and change / GREP

  I'm working on a manual that contains more than a thousand paintings. I'm not quite familiar with GREP and need help to determine the right to coding/jokers to change the character style to a group of words/numbers on a global basis.

  For example, in Chapter 7, a paragraph style is applied to this line of text:

  TABLE 7.1: T4, T3, FREE T4 AND FREE T4ED

  I need to change "table 7.1:" for a character style and so of suite/so on up to "Table 7,150:"-while leaving the other numbers on the same line unchanged also.»» Is it possible to do without having to manually each table style number?

  No need for GREP. If "TABLE 7.1:" is text, you can create a nested character style that extends through the colon, in the paragraph style. "

  If "TABLE 7.1:" is created by a numbered list of automatic type paragraph style, you can specify a character style named for the part of automatic numbering in the drop-down menu Style of character, in the Style of numbering of the chips section and numbering of the dialog box Options of paragraph style. If the character style does not exist, you can stay in the operation of paragraph options by choosing 'New Style of character' in the menu. After you create the new style, you're back in the process of definition of the paragraph.

  Kind regards

• Text or Grep in the Find.change script by list?

  Want to use grep formatting in this request (instead of text), but the script shows the error:

  text {findWhat: ') '} {"changeTo: ')" "} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false}

  Why here coexist two ways of writing?

  How do you decide?

  @Laurent: Hey Hey. After this long history, I always pay attention to the original question...

  Mariana:

  ... because it can combine several characters in a search, for example find a space before the point, period, semi-colon, etc.. Or a space after (or before)...

  Yes, it is possible with GREP. Try this for the first:

  grep {"findWhat:" ([.,: ;])])} "} {changeTo: '$1'} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} remove the space before the period and al.

  (Don't forget that the script needs TABS between the sections, as in the original file).

  This is a little difficult. In fact, the period is a special character in GREp (it means "any character"), so normally you would need to escape:

  (space).

  to find a space, followed by a period. However, the square brackets [...] define a group of GOLD, and eliminates the magical properties of the time. Apparently, there is no use for a wildcard character in a group! (It would be something like: "the following characters are allowed: a comma, colon, not at all, a semicolon...") »)

  There is a more advanced method to remove the spaces like these. You want to find spaces that are followed by one of these characters and the replacement by anything. It would be

  {"findWhat:" (? = [.,: ;])])} "} {" changeTo: ' '}

  You can try this in the interface to see that it works.

  ---

  The second can be done by using the Unicode value for ellipsis ('\x{2026}' - find a different rating than in ordinary text), or with the special escape code "~ e". Well yes - there is a different escape character. The backslash is used by GREP itself, but GREP does not own InDesign special characters - include page breaks, single chip and double quotes, dash-to-here, cadratins and a few others. They can also be inserted in the menu on the right side of the search field. These characters need a tilde, so InDesign can 'translate' for something that GREP can be used internally, and GREP never sees. As the tilde is nothing special for Javascript, you can safely insert one in the script data file...

  To remove a space before or after an ellipse, you can use this:

  grep {findWhat: '? '} ~ e ? "} {changeTo: ' ~ e '}

  ... but in this case, it may still be easier to stick to the normal text mode (where you would use "^ e" for the suspension points, incidentally).

• CS3: GREP find/change with the character Style?

  Basically, all along of a wide catalogue, there are a lot of situations with lines of text like this:

  Is this possible?

  Thank you!

• Find/change the question numbers and create the Table of contents

  Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style so I can use them to create a Table of contents page.

  The sample numbers

  #12345

  #12345-5

  #12345-20

  #12345-ABC

  #12345/N

  I tried to enter #^? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? in the search/replace and but it is exactly 5 characters after the sign #. I wonder if you can find all characters starting by # and up until the last characters.

  Once I found all item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style to have these characters after the sign #? Because I only want to show item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.

  In addition, I have InDesign CS2, which have no function GREP maybe I can do this without the GREP?

  I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

  Are your numbers by themselves in a separate paragraph? OTHERWISE you can not USE the table of contents feature to list all the numbers.

  If are, then just look at # in find/replace, then set it to change formatting a new paragraph style (you must create this style in CS2) that you want to include in the table of contents, then as you say, you can use find/replace once more on the history of the TOC to remove the # of all numbers.

  I'm trying to back up my iTunes files, but my classical music has too long file names?  If I abbreviate the names of file, iTunes will find these files and play the songs? Also, what is the best way to change a name of file to an album at the same time?
