Export to text file paragraph Style

I have an InDesign document (several really), where I would like to extract all the text formatted with a paragraph style to create a glossary.

I looked at ChangeCaseofSelectedStyle ExportAllStories and Dave Saunder trying to cobble something together (my scripting skills are next to zero). I had that day, now I'm stuck and errors.

Any help?

If ((app.documents.length! = 0) & & (app.selection.length! = 0)) {}
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
myStringList = myStyles.everyItem () .name;
myExportFormatList = ['Text only', 'RTF', 'Text referenced InDesign'];

myDialog = app.dialogs.add var ({name: "ExtractParagraphByStyle"})
{with (MyDialog)}
{with (dialogColumns.Add ())}
with (dialogRows.add ()) {}
with (dialogColumns.add ()) {}
staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "Style of paragraph :"});})
}
with (dialogColumns.add ()) {}
myStyle = dropdowns.add({stringList:myStringList,selectedIndex:0,minWidth:133});)
}
}
with (dialogRows.add ()) {}
with (dialogColumns.add ()) {}
staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "export as :"}); "})
}
with (myExportFormatButtons = {radiobuttonGroups.add ())}
radiobuttonControls.add ({staticLabel: "Text only", checkedState:true});})
radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"RTF"});)
radiobuttonControls.add ({staticLabel: "InDesign tagged text"});
}
}
}
}


myReturn = myDialog.show ();
If (myReturn == true) {}
Get the values of the dialog box.
myExportFormat = myExportFormatButtons.selectedButton;
myDialog.destroy;
myFolder is Folder.selectDialog ("select a file");.
If ((mondossier! = null) & & (app.activeDocument.stories.length! = 0)) {}
myExtractParagraphByStyle (myExportFormat, myFolder);
}
}
else {}
() myDialog.destroy; s
}
}

myExportStories function handles the export of the stories.
myExportFormat is a number between 0-2, where 0 = text only, 1 = 3 = tagged text and rtf.
myFolder is a reference to the folder in which you want to save your files.
function myExtractParagraphByStyle (myExportFormat, myFolder) {}
for (myCounter = 0; myCounter < app.activeDocument.stories.length; myCounter ++) {}
monarticle = app.activeDocument.stories.item (myCounter);
myID = myStory.id;
{Switch (myExportFormat)}
case 0:
myFormat = ExportFormat.textType;
myExtension = 'txt '.
break;
case 1:
myFormat = ExportFormat.RTF;
myExtension = ".rtf".
break;
case 2:
myFormat = ExportFormat.taggedText;
myExtension = 'txt '.
break;
}
myFileName = "StoryID" + myID + myExtension;
CheminMonFichier = myFolder + "/" + myFileName.
myFile = new File (myFilePath);
myStory.exportFile (myFormat, myFile);
}
}
+++ Functions start here +++

function errorExit (message) {}
If (arguments.length > 0) {}
If (app.version! = 3) {beep()} / / CS2 includes beep() function.
Alert (message);
}
Exit(); CS ends with a beep; CS2 left silently.
}

The example script, export all the text to the file might give you some clues:

ExportAllText.jsx

text file. To do this, the script will create a new document,
combine the stories in the new document using export/import
and then export the text into the new document.

var myTextFrameA = myPage.textFrames.add ();
myTextFrameA.geometricBounds = [72, 144, 72, 288];
myTextFrameA.contents = 'This is story 1.';
var myTextFrameB = myPage.textFrames.add ();
myTextFrameB.geometricBounds = [72, 300, 228, 288];

}
function mySnippet() {}
//

  • Import without Adobe Tagged text files linked styles

    I have several weekly publications that have a lot of data where the link to all the files in text format that contains the Adobe tag have suddenly, paragraph styles and character styles stripped on hoisted.  I am aware of the issue of the default settings, where you uncheck everything and ensure that styles of character is none, and that doesn't seem to be the issue. More precisely

    • Work in CS 5 (Version 7.0.4)
    • Files in text format that contains the Adobe tag are exported from Excel spreadsheets
    • InDesign documents have links to the files in the referenced text in Adobe format, and updated link is used inside InDesign update the text when the file is exported from the spreadsheet.
    • When publications are open on my workstation, all files related to the Adobe Tagged text files are not imported properly, they return to the standard paragraph style.
    • These aren't new documents that I design or new text files containing the Adobe tag, this is part of a production process that has worked without problem for years.
    • The same documents are open on another post work, and put up-to-date used links, they come in perfectly, so it doesn't seem to be a document or file corruption problem, but a problem with my environment, or settings ID.
    • This isn't a specific document or file, it's every single document that has a link to a text file that contains the Adobe tag (and we have many, I tried several!)
    • I opened the text file in the text editor to check, but as I said: same document, the same files, I'm the only person who cannot be updated without stripping on styles.

    Thank you! Nancy

    Hi Nancy,.

    It is worth noting that you point out that you have configured your desktop to create links when placing text and spreadsheet files. This means that you don't him aren't placing, you simply update the links, right? Is that mean that you saw as not this window in a while?

    Suggestions only I can think of are:

    (1) place a file tagged text (Show Import Options) checked to you reassure remove text formatting is not enabled by default on your workstation

    or

    (2) if the machine everyone behaves properly, your InDesign installation may be borked. First try to replace your preferences; If this does not work, reinstall.

    Of course there is always

    (3) I hope someone who knows more about text InDesign containing the tag appears and records in your thread.

    Edit: Okay, maybe Peter will exercise option no. 3 above.

  • It is possible to refresh the bound text without paragraph styles?

    I know there are a quite similar, unanswered question. - But I need set the style for a text box.

    I had the word formats changed in my indesign formats easily.

    But when the palette of links and the record edition of the original document it back after removal simply a letter Indesign uses the word formats.

    Tried the options link without success.

    User error or a bug?

    Straight, after re - link a word document once (except the links palette) refresh does what it is supposed to do.

    After that he don't change not styles of paragraph any more.

    In my opinion, this behavior is not as unwilling. It is a Bug.

    (work with CS6, maybe it is in any case resolved to CC)

  • Automatically apply "next paragraph Style...". "in place of the text

    I want to import an Excel (arrow) line 8 500 spreadsheet into InDesign and have it add the necessary number of pages and text related frameworks can flow text AND format her, lines spare in 1 2 paragraph styles. I can do everything until it automatically formatting the text. Paragraph Styles are set up for "Style of next paragraph...". "but it doesn't seem to work on the text. Can anyone help?

    I don't know if this can be done with a table, which is probably what you get from placing your excel file. A table Style might work.

    If you convert a table to text, however, you can select all, right-click on the name of the first style that you need in the paragraph styles Panel, and then choose apply and following style.

  • Is it possible to automatically check the paragraph Styles?

    Changes to a paragraph style are indexed with a star. That shows you where the styles are not applied correctly - as long the cursor is in this line or paragraph.

    But is there a way to index changes automatically? As you can for example check and index wrong spelling by the correction tools or the low resolution of preflight...?

    To show all the "bad points" without clicking on each paragraph.

    You can create a custom preflight profile to check text replacements: InDesign help | Preflight files before transfer. The property that you want to check is 'Text', then 'Paragraph Style and character Style overrides'. Be sure to turn off all other controls, because they slow down the whole process.

    To check if all paragraphs will have a style assigned, search for [no paragraph Style]: InDesign help | Find/replace, scroll down to find and edit the text in the shape.

    With the text tool in the ready to type text block. Choose file > export > RTF (Rich Text Format)

    For all text to export text all images must be strung. If they don't you will have to do them individually.

    I have been working for several days on a long paper (paper) and have developed 12 paragraph styles, using two fonts - Garamond first Pro and Helvetica Neue LT and the document has facing pages.

    Yesterday, my client (the author) has asked all text flow on the odd pages, for illustrations on all pages, so I did all the text boxes thread directly downward of pages on the right (odd pages).

    The first three chapters were style before I changed the threading of text box. Now, when I open the document and begin to apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the text (nine more chapters, which automatically adopted the style of main text as soon as I stuck in the newly-threaded text boxes), ID crashes when I highlighted a section of text and click a paragraph style.

    I checked the permissions and preferences. The only thing I can think is from the document from scratch.

  • Paragraph style "Title" (~ 20 words), export to XMP "Title".

    Anyone knows a way, or where to buy a script for InDesign CS5 that will allow me to take a text box containing a PARAGRAPH STYLE called "TITLE" and have the cript run and put the same TITLE in the XMP TITLE area? We implement an asset management solution that will require that we TITLE key in the asset management database, and I would avoid as much re-work possible by having the Document that changes from the moment it is created for final approval, and he can go as a 'Welcome to the blue room' on the side of mangement of the sanction , but the final document of the ID will be "Welcome to the red room." So I'd rather have the ID of update file management of assets with XMP data file, it creates.

    If someone has an idea or a suggestion, I would be very grateful.
