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

• counting in a find change grep

  I have a script that runs several find change greps and alert how many each grep search were made.

  This is the code:

  See section function () {}

  app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "the (section\\s +?). \\d+ ? [ \\.\\d+]?)";

  var changed = app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "$1";

  Reference of the changed.appliedCharacterStyle = "cross";

  var changes1 = app.activeDocument.changeGrep ();

  If {(changes1.length = 1)

  Alert (changes1.length + "instance of 'the section' became 'article'.");

  } else {}

  Alert (changes1.length + "instances of 'the section' changed to 'section'.");

  }

  };

  No matter how many changes I know she took it returns 1.

  It also does not apply the character style to the entire reference. The character style is supposed to underline the Word section \d.

  He pointed out only half of the section of Word:

  section5

  Do not know what is happening.

  (1) make sure of course, you have the same name "cross references".

  (2) when checking a condition use double ==

  If (changes1.length == 1) {and NOT so {(changes1.length = 1)

• 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

• 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?

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

• 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.

• 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).

• If I change a file name in my ITunes library, iTunes will find changed leadership and play the song?

  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?

  I'm not as familiar with the Windows platform, but if your main drive and the system supports file names that are long which is why your backup drive? You use a different format on your backup disk?

• From find/change Palette resize InDesign CC

  I use ID find replace a lot. I stuck a longer string of text in there today and the window resized to fit the width of the content. (not normal behaviour).

  Now I can't reset the palette to its normal size. I have to drag the block in a WAY left off my screen to access the functional buttons on the right; i.e. find then change all. So frustrating.

  I tried fixing it by:

  Top left option buttons using

  By dragging the lower right

  Cascading windows

  Resetting my workspace

  Restarting my computer

  Thoughts on what more I can try?

  Trashed my ID preferences and all is well now.

• InDesign Find/Change...suddenly no search option of the 'Selection' or 'Story', etc.

  Hello world

  Last week, I noticed that all of a sudden I'm not able to find or find/replace in one the 'selection' or 'history', etc. The only option that appears in the search option is looking for 'Document '. I took the ths same problem with 'GREP' and 'Glyph' research last week, but today they seem to work (in the sense that I can search for "selections", etc.) but I'm still not able to search for a 'selection' when I'm trying to find/replace text. I use this feature a LOT, and have only begun to encounter this problem this week. Other than rsetting InDesign preferences, is there anything else I can do all of a sudden pain which is the cause?

  

  Thanks in advance for your help :)

  Best,

  Christine

  UPDATE:

  OK... I could no longer bear it and reset the preferences and everything works :) I would have just done that in the beginning :)

• 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.

• OSD version 4.1.1.19 is not formatting out of the Script as planned

  After upgrading to 4.0 of OSD, I noticed that when I use the output of the script window, it wraps the output of the script to about 80 characters.

  When I use the command 'SET SQLFORMAT ANSICONSOLE' it seems to provide me with the long expected rows of data including the headers I expect.

  When I close my OSD and restart the packaging back.

  
  I also found that I can not use the performance indicators and to make them work.

  SELECT /*csv*/ * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT /*xml*/ * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * html * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * delimited * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * Insert * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * charger * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * fixe * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  SELECT / * text * / * FROM scott. EMP;

  I remember at one point several months back I opened SQLPlus and he did a window exit changes but I wasn't expecting to have an impact in the OSD.

  I am running the OSD 4.1.1.19 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
