• Find and replace grep Question.

  I'll put up paragraph styles and I'm changing anything with < CR > in a ^ p.  How do I do this with a string of grep?  I am wanting to add this string grep grep style in the paragraph styles.

  With GREP Styles you can not change the text, but the formatting of the text.
  You will need an action of find/replace with the TEXT or GREP find/replace.

• Need help to find and replace grep using Xml tags!

  Hello world

  I have a Textframe with value ($ 00.00) between two xml tags. a tag for "$" and another for a value (00 h 00).

  Now I find these value (00 h 00) and change value (24.10). If I run the script, removing the price tag XML and updated price.

  My expectation is the value of these update without deleting the XML tag.

  Please suggest me where I made the mistake in the code. Please find the code and screenshot for your reference.

  Before running the Script: After running the Script:                                                                                                             

  

  Code:

  var flgGREP="[$]\\d+[.]\\d+"
  var Price="$24.10"
  myLine=app.selection[0];
  FindReplaceValue(flgGREP,Price,myLine);
  function FindReplaceValue(findValue,replaceValue,Sapps){
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = findValue;  
      app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = replaceValue;
      Sapps.changeGrep(); 
  }

  This is because the XML (opening and closing of the representations) tag is a special character but a generic.

  So the above grep model fails because you have a text like [TAG] $[TAG] [TAG] 00.00 [TAG] is not picked up by the grep engine.

  However there is not (unless I'm wrong) a metacharacter which could identify the brands of tags. You can do this in text F/R, but of course it is not as smooth as grep.

  Bad news is that these special characters are not saved if you F/R on a labeled content (I mean in the above case).

  Good luck for you is that you seem to know the markupTag that host the price = copy_frame so I'd domething like:

  var root = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0];
  var copy_frame_tags = root.evaluateXPathExpression (".//copy_frame" );
  var tag;
  
  while ( tag = copy_frame_tags.pop() ) {
       tag.contents=="00.00" && tag.contents="24.10";
  }

• The difference between the "Find and replace" in the menu and FindChangeByList.jsx

  Hello! Please help me. Why this work ' find and replace ' (grep), but not working in FindChangeByList.jsx

  find	replace
  \r\d (.) \D\d	0$ 0

  This procedure find enter, any digit, any digit, any digit and replace all in 0, found.

  Example:

  front	after

  But it does not work in FindChangeByList.jsx (file: FindChangeList.txt):

  grep

  {findWhat: "\r\d (.)} \D\d"}

  {changeTo: "0$ 0"}

  {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false}

  And it does not work in the present:

  myDocument var = app.documents.item (0);

  app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

• InDesign, find and replace

  Hi, can anyone help with this problem, I have tried searching online a few times, but no luck.

  I have a paragraph with several capital letters in square brackets, for example: AAAAA (1) or (2) BBBB. If I need a "BOLD" of each of them, I will have to look for each other and manually "BOLD".

  Is there a function in find and replace that can auto search for this kind of texts and "BOLD" of all?

  Or GREP functions?

• Find and replace the script in Question.

  Hi all

  I searched for a way to show the amount of changes here?  My script to find and replace is working however, I would like to see if there are changes 0 or 100 so that we know how much if any of the corrections have been made.  Basically, I want to show him the same type of information as the (Native find replace in Indesign). If there is a link that talks about this please point me in that direction.

  I found it... «changes var = ' must be set to the line in function changeGrep()...» I've got an example of script grep for you that replaces the word "December" 'Months' and alerts as to how many changes have been made.

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "December";

  app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "month";

  changes in var = app.documents [0] .changeGrep ();

  var numChange = changes.length;

  Alert ("the changes have been made." + numChange);

• Find and replace categories m2 and m3 of indices

  Now I change in the m2 and m3 categories what in the Clipboard.  But it does not work when I have categories m2 and m3 in different colors and different fonts tru the lay-out.

  How can I find and replace the categories m2 and m3 to index m 2 and m 3 index?

  Only m2 not 2 only.

  Thank you very much

  Your "m2 only not the only 2" seems to contradict what you wrote earlier, but I guess what you want is style 2 and 3 only when they are preceded by m. If this is the case, follow these steps in the grep of the Find/Replace dialog box tab:

  Search: (?)<>

  Replace:

  Change format: select the index.

  (?<=. .="" .)="" is="" a="" so-called="" lookbehind,="" [.="" .="" .]="" a="" character="" class.=""><=m) means="" 'preceded="" by'="" and="" [23]="" stands="" for="" '2="" or="">

• Help to find and replace. Please

  I imported a text where there are in italic content original, but when put in IDCS4 italic text appears as _italic words_. It is under the Roman name with _ of the characters who surround him. Is it possible to find and replace. Needless to say that the text between the _s varies.

  I would like to try a find/change GREP searching (_) ([^ _] +) (_) and replace them with $2 all change to italic formatting (preferably in a character style).  This translates to seek a _, then everything that is not a _, followed of another _ and replace it with the content between the two. You can also use (_) (. +?) (_) that match the srting more runs between two characters _ in the same way (except it does not cross a paragraph break), but it will run a little slower.

  Credit for this should go to Peter Kahrel and his excellent introduction GREP...

• The powerful ' find and replace ' features are missing pages

  It would be good if the development team of Pages read the questions and the problems posted on the apple Support communities.

  Find and replace invisible characters (tabs, returns, etc.) have disappeared in the Pages for older versions.

  Other researchers suggest that the functions are in the NON Apple software. Duh. TextEdit not more and not pages. Disappointing, can not describe the feeling.

  The new Apple:

  "He Just (not!). Work' and 'where's the Hell... ».

  There is that one thing I use 5 Pages for: drawing, which can be fun in its limits. As a designer, I like he is aligned with the alignment that makes things very fast for me. Unfortunately, other sucks.

  Pages ' 09 is pretty horrible at drawing but great for the layout and productivity. The contrast between the two is remarkable, when I switch between them. If only I could have 5 Pages, in Pages ' 09 drawing tools, I could happily mix 5 Pages completely and be totally unaware of anything that does not work or works so badly she may as well not exist.

  2016 is coming with the editor of affinity, I hope it turns out as well as the designer of the affinity and Photo of affinity, but doubt that it will be the combination of WP, PAO and spreadsheet that makes Pages ' 09 so awesome to work with.

• How can I change a VI that is related to "NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel find and replace (str) .vi

  I need to create a new VI ' Excel find and replace (str) .vi ", for my own needs.

  LabVIEW does not allow me to do, because VI belongs to, "NI_Excel.lvclass."

  Instead of find and replace - I'd like to find him a string and tell me which column and row it is in.

  Thank you

  Have you tried to do this, even the jury of Exceldiscussion forums?

  You'll probably find what you want, or close at least something you could learn from.

  Can you open the VI you want to change?  Even if you are not allowed to copy, if you open it and see what it does, you can the recode yourself using the appropriate ActiveX functions.

• Find and replace

  Hi all

  One of my colleague working on a program with more than 100 cases of the same enum (without type def as a constant knot, of control and property).  It must update the enum (surprise), so he needs to make the change on all the enum 100 +.  I showed him how to do a type-def, and he could replace the 100 + with new enum type FED.  It's a lot of work manually, so I tried to use search and replace, but it won't let me choose the new enum type-def we want to replace the enum 100 + with.  If I do find and replace, I can exclude the property node?  If I, the field node would get linke for the new enum?

  What is the best way to accomplish this task?

  1. I was able to find all the constant enum and replace them with something else.  Is it true that I can replace only with similar data type?  For example, I can't replace a constant enum with an add function.  I tried to change the enum to the ring to digital and numeric Enum.  They worked, but sometimes there is a glitch, where I have to find me and replace twice to make it work.  Have you seen this before?

  Yes, there are replacements that don't work because they are not simply doesn't make sense.

  2. I was able to easily find the enum constant, but for controls of the enum, I needed to go under others-> terminal façade.  I found the controls, but there is a slash sign beside him.  I assumed that meant cannot be operated.  I tried to replace the enum with some other control, and I can't.  How do you do search and replace on a control of enum (not constant).

  The search and replace has some limitations, and you met a. You can do what you want to do by the script. See attached example, which replaces the controls that have a label that starts with 'cc' with the typedef. The criteria for which controls replace yours. I just chose that according the example VI that you have provided. Modify if needed.

• Find and replace variables

  Hello world

  Setup

  I have a line that connects two cycles in two different VI.

  The vi share the queue by a reference.

  Now that I changed the format of the queue of the enum element to a cluster of enum and date

  my queue reference has changed as well.

  Question

  How to replace (rebind) all variable instances of variables of refnum "old_queue" with "new_queue" refnum queue queued?

  What I tried

  I tried to use 'Find and replace' but it doesn't let me do: in text mode, it displays an icon crossed close to all

  He found bodies, and in graphic mode, that is not has such an option, as substitute a variable refnum.

  First: a lesson for next time. Check the data type of the queue a typedef. Now, the problem goes away. Change the typedef and all references.

  Lesson for next time bonus do not transmit queue around references. It is not necessary. Queues can be appointed. For another reference to the same queue, all what you need to know is its name.

  To answer your basic question, you can't. You'll just have to follow the wires around and replace them manually.

    Can you tell me what I try next? Thnks a lot and sayonara for now the guy-Jack McElwee / keimanzero the Scion of the Anime in Brookhaven PA - USA

    OK I tried everything and nothing works! Only added beginners are updated browser Opera 10.63; IE9 (Beta); Firefox 3.6.12 and Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 and Java 22. Of course like everyone else in the world, I had to uninstall/enable and disable/download again and reinstall new Adobe Flash 10 and 11 of the shock wave and they keep crashing too! Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

• Find and replace function in file names?

  Is it possible to do a find and replace in the names of files, rather than the office or similar?  I have a large list of names of files that all have a problem with them I want to replace, but I don't want to pass by and do each manually!  A better way to do it?

  Hello exoticdisease,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Select the files in Windows Explorer, press and hold Shift and right click on them. Choose copy from the menu in the path. Paste the list in any editor you prefer. You get the full path for each file, but a simple find/replace will clean up if necessary.

  I don't know if it of what you're looking for or not.

• In Vista, it is possible to find and replace a specific name that I used many files on the hard drive?

  My apologies if someone already asked this (I couldn't find the answer however). I used the name of a person to dozens of (mostly Word) documents that are kept in many different files on my hard drive. I know that I can dig each document separately and then use hidden word and replace the tool to change the name. But this will inevitably take time. Is it possible to do a through - computer find and replace so that I don't have to do this exercise once? Any help gratefully received. Thank you.
