Find/replace 3 space selection

• Batch find replace in the selected text?

  I'm on Windows using DW CC 10.

  I want to be able to select a block of text and replace several characters it contains both.

  For example: select the channel CAT and replace the C and T with a B and M.

  I can do that in an entire document by following these instructions reformatting of files in Dreamweaver: series of files (search and replace) .dwr batch consecutively, but when I change the value of setUpFindReplace() of document selectedText searchWhat and run the command, only the first searchstring (the C in the example above) is changed so that the T is not replaced. I have run the command a second time to replace the second string. Here is the code I use:

  // JavaScript Document
  function canAcceptCommand() { 
      return true; 
  } 
  
  function commandButtons() { 
      return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()"); 
  } 
  
  function doIt() { 
    
      dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({ 
          searchString: "C", 
          replaceString: "B",
          searchWhat: "selectedText", 
          searchSource: true, 
          useRegularExpressions: false 
      }); 
      dreamweaver.replaceAll(); 
       
      dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({ 
          searchString: "T", 
          replaceString: "M", 
          searchWhat: "selectedText", 
          searchSource: true, 
          useRegularExpressions: false 
      }); 
      dreamweaver.replaceAll();
       
      window.close(); 
  } 
  

  Thank you!

  This is how works "Selected Text", however.  It limits the search to just that area of highlighted text and nothing more.

  If you want to F & are the entire document,

  Find at: Current document.

  Find:     CAT

• InDesign CC Grep find/replace to replace the character of space per paragraph (fly)

  Hello InDesigners,

  I'm trying to clean up a 99 page document. In the file, titles of chapters, in capital letters, followed by a space, which is then followed with text more uppercase there. This always occurs at the beginning of a paragraph.

  I'm trying to target the space character that appears just after the number of chapter and Exchange to a number (fly).

  For example:

  
  

  CHAPTER 22 SUNDAY UNDERGROUND

  I want the Grep to change this as follows:

  CHAPTER 22

  SUNDAY UNDERGROUND

  I know that to do this job, I need to use positive look behind and positive Look Ahead, at first, I just tried to isolate CHAPTER 22 using the following:

  ^ \u{2,}\s\d+

  It worked. However, as soon as I cut and paste into P.L.B., find/replace says that it does not match.

  (?<=^\u{2,}\s\d+)\s

  
  

  The culprit seems to be the comma that comes just after the number 2. If I take, I get a match, but just not the one I wanted.

  
  

  Why P.L.B. does not accept the comma as part of the range in my definition grep?
  

  
  

  (FYI, I prefer to use wildcards with a specified scope, rather than literal text).

  It is indeed the comma, and the reason why it does not work because the flavor of InDesign's GREP does not allow a variable length argument in its lookbehinds. And the construction "has {x, y}" indicates a variable length.

  "Chapter" only you know how many characters to uppercase, and even the exact text, you can use

  (?<=^CHAPTER>

  the first chapters to a number, then

  (?<=^CHAPTER>

  for the rest. In your version of InDesign, I guess there is also a possible solution with the fairly new \K "forget - me" operator but I have not yet enough experience with that. It should look like this:

  ^ \u{2,}\s\d+\K\s

  but you will have to experiment a bit to see how to work with the replacement string.

  In addition, you should only use the name of "fly" for a character that looks like this: "¶". The code that you insert will call it a 'return' or 'paragraph return. Initially, I took your question literally, and it sounded as if you were after this result: "CHAPTER 22 ¶ SUNDAY UNDERGROUND"

• Find/replace a Word and a space with an em dash

  I imported the text in there: "title:" (note the space after the colon)

  I wanted to replace the word, colon and space by an em dash.

  But InDesign is not letting me do. I can find/replace "title:" without the space. But I want to replace this space, too! How can I do this? Thank you!

• Select a specific area to convert a tab using GREP or find/replace

  Hello

  I'm working on a very long list that always has a space to be converted to a tab. No one knows how quickly using find/replace or GREP?

  Example:

  2068 characteristics of fallers vs Non-abatteurs in individuals receiving Services in a hospital-based home health agency: case report

  The space after the 4 digits must be converted into a tab. I have hundreds of them to do, always a space after 4 figures to be a tab.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Enter in the search field: ^ (\d{4})# (replace ' #' with a space!))

  Replace with this: $1\t

• Do find/replace multiple records at the same time?

  Hello

  I wonder if there is a way to apply the options find/replace, I select all the records that I have given merged in my InDesign file.

  Reserved spaces will not import my database spaces, example if I

  Model InDesign: < < bird > >

  < < beak > > < < beak value > >

  .csv:                              bird's beak,,, value of beak

  Eagle, beak:, Hung

  I get

  InDesign after the merger of data: Eagle

  beak: hung

  No spaces came with the merger.  If there is an option to preserve the spaces, it would be the simplest solution. However, I'm not finding such a command, so I would like to add a special character after my colon in the .csv and then use ID to find/replace this character in each of my files in a space or two.  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Edit: even on a single record, find/replace is not applied to my output document, either... Its release the special character that I wrote in the fields of .csv instead of space, it is supposed to transform.

  Yes.

  Make sure that you set the scope of the search and replace of the Document. He may have missed the selection or history.

  HI Brendan,

  You don't need an advanced find and replace for it.

  In the search box, press, then space.

  In the box replace by, press option-return.

  Then click Find and replace and find until you are finished.

• object contains no text for find/replace

  I am trying to run this script to select text if it is found, but he said that there is no text, even though I have wrapped them in an if statement.

  See section function () {}

  app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

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

  app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "$1";

  The app.changeGrepPreferences reference .appliedCharacterStyle = "cross";

  If (app.activeDocument.findText ()) {}

  found. Select();

  };

  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'.");

  }

  };

• Find/replace, highlight found text script

  Hello

  I wrote this script and it works fine. But what I want to do is to go through each word found individually (as in the Find/Replace dialog box with the button "find next").

  This is an excerpt:

  app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
  var what = app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "ensure";

  app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "make" sure;
  var found = app.activeDocument.changeText ();
  If {(found.length = 1)
  Alert (found.length + "instance of"ensuring"changed");
  } else {}
  Alert (found.length + "instances of"ensuring"changed");
  }

  I want the script to each instance of "ensure" my active selection that I can see where they are before I change.

  Thank you

  Hi guys,.

  try this one:

  app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "ensure";
  app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "make sure";
  
  var allFounds = app.activeDocument.findText();
  for (var i = 0; i < allFounds.length; i++) {
    var curFound = allFounds[i];
    curFound.select();
    app.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage = app.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage;
     if(confirm("Do you wish to change this instance?",undefined, "Find/Replace")) {
       curFound.changeText();
    }
  }
  
  app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
  

  Disadvantage of the confirm dialog box: there is no exit button.

• GREP find/replace + paragraph Styles

  Hello

  I'm editing a long document and have benefited from the assistance of the community already, but being new GREP Style, find/replace, I need to ask for additional help.

  Below a screenshot of the script (original). Two blocks of text you see anticipated by the icons have have styles of different paragraphs. Icons are placed like custom glyphs.

  Now, the last line with C2, 9, 14,... is the target of this post. They are buses of London and I created a paragraph with another icon. The copy that I work with unfortunately is as you see. Buses will follow «;»

  Resulting to place a \r after the semicolon and assign the new paragraph style. The item to work with is (probably) the last "," before the registration of the bus. All entries have it in the same way, where a search/replace global grep should work fine.

  My attempts:

  I used of a previous debate (? < =------;)) [^ ;] + $ to match everything from the end until the last semicolon, but then I found the problem preserving the matched characters and placing \r (using the (? < =-;). start at the beginning and stops at each point comma + space)

  So question: how to stop at the first semicolon at the end and replace the space with \r to create a new paragraph?

  Then, it is two question :-)

  From my previous attempts, I noticed that when you replace the semicolon + space with \r, and change the style of paragraph at a time (from Rail to Bus) caused the Rail paragraph style change (logic) to the style of Bus. So I tried to say the paragraph style of the track "Following paragraph Style is style of Bus" (and not to change the paragraph style in find/replace), but in a way that no longer works.

  Second question is: given to split the find/replace in two steps, how then transform / apply to newly created paragraph the correct style of Bus?

  Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance. So far, the community has been great!

• How to replace the spaces before and after a Word with tabs using GREP or search - replace

  Here's the scenario:

  I have a paragraph with spaces (can be 1 or more) at the beginning (before the first word) and a single space after the first word (is be a number if this matter - which may be a single digit or more).

  I'm looking to replace the spaces before each paragraph with a single tab and replace one tab so of space after the first word (number). In addition, I would like to apply a paragraph style to it.

  Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can find a solution. It sounds like a solution of some sort GREP but can't nail. Thank you.

• 'Wild card' in find/replace changes 'any number' to ' ^ 9' instead of leaving as is.

  During a search, find/replace in indd, using the generic specification for any number (^ 9), I would have thought the change would leave the numbers in their original state but it change them all to ' ^ 9' - how can I find a large document and remove all values in dollars using find/replace - e.g. AUD 3 234 to 3234 AUD?

  Given that you have at least InDesign CS3, use GREP to search instead of text search:

  Search: AUD (\d+)\h(\d\d\d)

  Change from: AUD $1$ 2

  Or probably even better, change to: $1, $2 ~.<>

  $1 and $2 rely on the conclusions of the first and the second parenthesis.
