• How to get the GridAddress of a given character position?

  Hello

  My starting point is that I know the startposition of a character in an ITextModel. So I can test if the given position refers to an object in a table or in a regular textframe:

  InterfacePtr<ITableModel> tableModel (Utils<ITableUtils> ()->GetTableModel(txtModel, startPos + 1), UseDefaultIID());

  {if(!tableModel)}

  Do things in a textframe (I don't suppose it's text on a textpath, for simplicity)

  } else {}

  Do the things on the table with

  }

  I am stuck on the "doing things on the part that contains the table. I want the cell containing text (the gridaddress, I guess?).

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Bart Devos.

  Bart-

  To find the cell of the table of the insertion point, you can use something like:

  InterfacePtr storythreadp (txtModel-> QueryStoryThread (startPos + 1));

  InterfacePtr cellcontentp (storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());

  If (! cellcontentp) {}

  Not a table cell, then see if it's the main thread (kTextStoryBoss/ITextModel).

  InterfacePtr threadmodelp (storythreadp, UseDefaultIID());

  If {(threadmodelp)

  This is the main thread...

  }

  else {}

  It is something else with an ITextStoryThread (note, notes, etc.).

  }

  }

  else {}

  Of the insertion point in a table cell (kTextCellContentBoss).

  InterfacePtr tableModel (cellcontentp-> GetTableModel(), UseDefaultIID());

  GridID gridID (cellcontentp-> GetGridID());

  GridAddress gridLoc (cellcontentp-> GetGridAddress());

  .. and so on.

  }

  Hope that this help get you where you want to go.

• Question in GREP re: character style

  I'm trying to take a block of text and change everything in this text to a certain style of character. What is the correct expression GREP to do that? I know I could just strong of the text in question and apply the style of character, but I need to use it in a script of FindChangeByList, so I need to do it using GREP expressions. Thank you.

  JoJo Jenkins wrote:

  I am trying to build scripts that automate this for me, but maybe there's a much easier way to think about this issue.

  He is a. Select all of the text before you start styling and choose the character Style [no]. Alternatively, you can apply all of your paragraph styles, and then select all of your text and choose clear overrides from the paragraph Style dropdown.

  To get the default character style to be [none], make sure your cursor is selected, and then choose [none]. That applies to all future documents, make this change WITHOUT documentation open.

  Hope that helps,

  I want to get the chain between second and third underscore concerns underscore, i.e. "MEGAMART".

  One way is to use SUBSTR and InStr.

  INSTR ( str,
        , '_'
        , 1
        , n
        )
  

  Returns the position of the n-th point in str.

  WITH     got_pos          AS
  (
       SELECT     str
       ,     INSTR (str, '_', 1, 2) + 1     AS pos_2
       ,     INSTR (str, '_', 1, 3)          AS pos_3
       FROM     table_x
  )
  SELECT     str
  ,     SUBSTR ( str
              , pos_2
              , pos_3 - pos_2
              )      AS part_3
  FROM    got_pos
  ;
  

  You don't need absolutely the subquery; You can repeat the INSTR expressions as arguments to SUBSTR if you wish.

  In Oracle 10 (and more), you can do ITI with less code, but once again the execution, by using regular expressions:

  SELECT  str
  ,     REGEXP_SUBSTR ( str
                  , '[^_]+'
                  , 1
                  , 3
                  )          AS part_3
  FROM    table_x
  ;
  

  Are you sure the chain will always at least 3 ' _? Everything would change if the channel started by a '_', or the 2nd '_' came immediately after the 1st? Post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results that you want the data and explain.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

• [JS] CS6-&gt; how to insert character at the first location of text style range

  Hello

  I have a string of text that has a block of text, anchored in the first character position of a range of text Style.

  The I normally updated text is to insert text around the ankles and that works, but I can't seem to make it work if the anchor is located at the first character.

  Example, where [a] represents the location of the anchored object (the special character):

  [a] my text

  new text:

  Under the pretext of [a] my updated text

  If this is not possible, then it is possible to move the anchor point?

  Any ideas? Thank you

  Hello

  Because you selected the frame, you can try to feed the fist PointInsertion content:

  App.Selection [0] .insertionPoints [0] = .silence 'before the anchor. "

  Thank you
  Guy

  I see guys. Fortunately, there is almost always more than one way to skin a cat!

  It is possible by simply using to DECODE, but you will need to enter in nested DECODE which might be a problem depending on how the string you test against or may need to test against the future.

  If you are simply testing the existence of one of the following strings, how about you do this:

  decode(instr(L, 'FY11 Ov') + instr(L, 'Pts') + instr(L, 'Rev') + instr(L, 'Sys'), 0, 'CHECK', 'OK')
  

  He add the character positions (if found) for each of the channels of test, and if the sum is 0, this means none of the channels found test - if the sum is nothing else, it means that at least one of them has been found. It has the advantage of your being able to add strings in the future while now decent readability.

  Hope this helps,

• Kerning in Indesign

  I work with a police crénée particularly badly during the use of capital letters and a design strategy that requires that all caps typography. Anyone know if there is a script that will apply the specific from kerning to paragraph styles and character-level?

  My resolution for this issue, was to create GREP styles for combinations of characters problem; keeping in mind, the question is specifically using all caps formatting; kerning around some caps (A, X and W are particularly bad offenders within this police) within a specific font family. Small letters and caps and lowercase combinations seem not to have too many questions. What look like the GREPs is as follows;

  

  So you can see, the GREP (s) seeks Positive Lookahead and Lookbehind positive occurrences. For example, the first GREP (?<> ) is the search for any occurrence of a has lower or capital which is followed by lower case or caps of C or Oand apply then the character song + 50style.

  GREP second to the bottom of this [a |] A] ( ? = [m | M | n | N | t | T]) is the search for any occurrence of a low or a hat has preceded lowercase or M, Nor T plugs and applies the character + 25-songstyle.

  In addition, the character style is applied underscore so that I can immediately see where kerning was applied; each tracking value having its own color assigned. After that I checked all kerning pairs in the book, I can then turn them off to a style of uniqueness (since I am huge on correctly related styles) to turn off all the features of underscores in the file. The only thing I could do is do not attempt to place any exceptions tracking in a single command GREP (as I do here)... its becoming a little management nightmare trying to remember the values that have been applied where when you scroll just GREP.

  But, there you go! So far so good. Not expensive printer to generate a custom table of kern. And, not to the management and script debugging and monitoring values are built in the style, so they cannot be accidentally blown away by re - apply the paragraph style. And, if I organize my styles to paragraphs correctly, I have to build these substitutions once (that is, paragraphs which are uppercase and use a specific tracking value, all use the same combinations of substitution GREP, so if I base them all off a master paragraph style, then any changes made to the ripple of master through the whole document...) I love the option based on!).

  I just have to wonder if there is an upper limit of how many GREP styles may exist in the single paragraph style. Assuming that I do one of these GREPs for each combination of characters... what?... 650 GREPs to define? Made my head swim just to find the language Positive Lookahead and Lookbehind.

• uppercase to lowercase in the list 'false. '

  http://InDesignSecrets.com/convert-text-to-lowercase-with-grep-utility.php

  Is a thread that I found. It converts the first char in a paragraph style "list bullet" in lowercase.
  Works very well, but often we have lists for that, for several reasons, we cannot use the automatic feature 'list' (copy paste issues with other programs, etc.). The first tank is the - (alt + 0151) followed by a space (no tab) or • tank (alt + 0149).
  I can't understand it with grep function, because there is no mention of the possibility of "tiny".
  Any suggestions?

  I was able to change the script of Peter Kahrel quite easily to change the third character instead of the first, which I think would be to do what you want.

  Change the THIRD character lowercase

  Peter Kahrel wrote the original of the present.

  app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

  app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "list";

  Third paragraph lowercase letter:

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» {3}";

  found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

  for (i = 0; i< found.length;="">

  found [i] .characters [2] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase);

  I changed

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^." TO

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» {3}"; If she takes the first three characters of the paragraph instead of a single

  and

  found in [i] .characters [0] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase); TO

  found [i] .characters [2] .changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase); then, it changes the third character instead of the first.

  The script always depends on the text aving a named style applied (in this case I left it to the 'list') you may need to further modify to change the name of style to match your situation.

  And if you wanted, I think you could probably change app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^." for app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + » ; to find all of the paragraph, and then change the index in the table to match any character position of your choice, but I don't think that a lot of purpose. One of the Scripting Guys could probably Jazz with an interface that asks the character you want to change.

• Contact information for text in TextArea

  I am writing a custom control that extends a text box and provides IDE-style AutoComplete functionality. To do this, I need to position a menu drop-down below the beginning of the word being modified.
  
  So, I need x and is coordinated to a specific index in my TextArea. I was hoping some kind a TextRange object would give him to me, but it's not.
  
  Any suggestions?

  The textField to text objects property has an getCharBoundaries method. This property returns a Rectangle object describing the coordinates of a nth character in the text.

  I used this to draw rectangles that cover certain words in a textArea. By getting the rectangle of the first and the last charcters of the word, I could calculate the necessary coordinates from that. The main statements were of this form:

  var myRect1:Rectangle = myTextArea.textField.getCharBoundaries (n);

  where n is the index of character.

  I'm pretty new to Flex and do not know if there is another way to achieve this. If there is, I'd love to hear.

• Problems saving a DAQ task, in Labview and besides running

  I'm trying to use DAQmx Save Task.vi in LabView to save a generation of simple signal task, so I can open it later / elsewhere. However, the problem I have is when I try to open the task in MAX. The task is presented in MAX, but when I try to run the task 200552 it occurs to the DAQ Assistant.

  200552 error has occurred in the DAQ Assistant

  Possible reasons:

  Specified string is not valid, because it contains an invalid character.

  Invalid character position: 4
  Invalid string: Dev1/port0/$line0

  It seems that the problem has to do with the character ' / ', but I don't know how to create a line of output in LabView that does not include the character ' / '. Is it all the same around this problem in either LabView or Max?

  I have attached my LabView program. Thank you for your help and your patience.

  OK, I understand now.

• [JS] How to delete characters in a block of text?

  

  Hi

  I want to remove a character from PointInsertion.

  I tried to code below.  But he wasn't able to get the results I want.

  Please any advice for me.

  Thank you.

  //app.selection[0].remove();    // "app.selection[0]" is current insertionPoint.
  //app.selection[0].characters[0].remove();
  //app.selection[0].texts[0].remove();
  

  It's a little trickier that you might have thought:

  App.Selection [0] .parent. Characters [App.Selection [0] .index - 1] .remove)

  In other words, first of all, you will find the story of the mother of the PointInsertion. Then, you will find the nth character of this story, where n is the index of the selected PointInsertion. Then remove 1, you want to remove back, if you want the character before the PointInsertion.

• The function of enter the characters of left, right or middle of the member name?

  Does anyone know of a function or set of functions I can use to enter characters in a member name in a similar way to the functions of Excel RIGHT, LEFT, or MID? I would like to be able to write a rule to retrieve only certain characters in a member name.

  Hello

  If you look briefly into the ref of technology so you can find @SUBSTRING (String StartPosition [, EndPosition])

  StartPosition

  Beginning at the character position in a string to be included in the substring. An integer greater than or equal to 0, where 0 is the first character in the string, 1 corresponds to the second character and so forth.

  Final position

  As an option. An integer greater than or equal to 1, where 1 corresponds to the first character in the string, 2 corresponds to the second character and so forth. If the end position is not specified or is less than StartPosition, Essbase returns all other characters in the source string. Note that this is a different numbering scheme that uses the starting position.

  Now, I hope you have a good naming convention.

  Kind regards
