• GREP: Search and replace

  Does anyone know if its possible to take a list (shown on the lower part of the image) and run a GREP search and replace to create the list of tabs (shown on the picture)?

  I know that the majority of it can be made with the regular search and replace: separate the first and last name; MD and MD #; Postal code and telephone number.

  What I was not able to understand is how to add a tab forward and backward the state abbreviations 2-digit, the Middle Initial, phone number and more important even if there is a way to add tabs in when there aren't the same amount of lines, such as the field of specialty.

  I know that I can use the GREP search and replace to add a tab before each paragraph back, then remove the tab where there are 2 paragraph after each game returns, then substituting a tab and a paragraph back to just a tab, together running all the rows in each set.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if there is anywhere I can learn more about GREP, I would love to learn it.

  Thank you

  Peter, try this...

  Find:------.<>

  Replace: \t$0

• GREP search and replace question

  Jin

  Here's my problem,

  I have a huge list with names, each name is one or more words, divided by a space,

  each name is divided by a tab.

  now I want to do the following, each tab 7 should turn into a return.

  so eventually I'll end up with a list of 7 names in a row.

  now, it looks like this:

  name [tab] name [tab] [tab] [tab] name name name [tab] [tab] [tab] name, name [tab] [tab] [tab] name, name [tab] [tab] name [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] name

  This should be:

  name [tab] name [tab] [tab] [tab] name name name [tab] [tab] name [ENTER]

  [tab] name [tab] [tab] [tab] name, name [tab] [tab] name [ENTER]

  [tab] [tab] name

  Thank you!!

  It's perfectly doable! It should work: search

  (([^ \t]+\t){6}[^\t]+)\t))

  and replace with

  $1

  It looks like any sequence of any number of non-a-tab, followed by a tab, all in a group of 6 and followed by another sequence of not-a-tabs and then a final tab which is going to be the little pig is not to go to the market today.

  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.

• GREP: date/time search and replace

  Hello world

  I frequently import XML files into InDesign. The XML structure always contains the following, among others:

  start date

  start time

  end date

  end time

  For example, it looks like this:

  21.08.2013

  09:00

  25.08.2013

  18:00

  Now, I need to reorder these fields in a single line, like this:

  21.08.2013, 25.08.2013, 09:00-18:00

  I already found a way to do it through GREP, but I need to go one step further:

  If the "start date" and "end date" is the same (for example, both are "21.08.2013"), I would like to move the "end date" in the output. It should look like this:

  21.08.2013, 09:00 - 18:00

  Is it possible to do it through GREP?

  Thanks in advance!

  This will do

• How can I use search and replace to replace the title of the doc with copy of the h1 content?

  I have a site with about 300 pages which have the same title. I need to replace this title by the same text that appears in the h1 tag on the page (each page is different). Of DW search and replace it? If so, how? I don't really want to go have to go to each page and copy/paste.

  jeffsure wrote:

  Is there a way to tell him to put only the first h1 tag in the title?

  I'm really motivated now to learn regex!

  Yes. Just use the following regular expression instead of the previous:

  [\S\s]+?

  )([^<>

  The field is to replace the same.

  The question mark is the [\S\s]+ a lazy search, stopping at the first]

  rather than doing a greedy research that concludes the last

  in the page.

  The regex for learning is difficult, but it can be very rewarding. I would only like the best.

• How to include a div with search and replace

• [CS5 JS] excluding the Notes of search and replace

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to exclude all text within a Note of a search/replace, text or grep operation?

  I went through and systematically all the findChangeGrepOptions that had the word "include" in false:

  includeLockedStoriesForFind: false

  includeLockedLayersForFind: false

  includeHiddenLayers: false

  includeMasterPages: false

  includeFootnotes: false

  just to check, but nothing has worked. myText.changeGrep () has again changed the text in the note.

  Of course, it would be pretty easy to write a wrapper function

  var myChangeGrep = function( textObject, checkNotes ) {
     checkNotes = checkNotes || false;
     results = [];
  
    // Go through and run changeGrep on all the 
    // parts of the textObject that are not contained inside Notes, 
    // (or just run it on the entire textObject if checkNotes is true),
    // and push the results to the results array as we go along.
  
    return results;
  };
  

  but it has the disadvantage that it returns a table and not a collection of InDesign, as does the regular changeGrep. In addition, as simple as it may be, it would be easier if there was a preference somewhere to take care of this.

  Any idea?

  Thank you!

  There is no preference for that: the scope of search and replace can be set only with five preferences that you have already tried. (In the same way, you can not include/exclude tables.) findGrep() and changeGrep() return an array, for that matter, not a collection.

• Search and replace in files

  Behavior of the interrogator:

  I learned to click Save (or save everything) before attempting to search and replace in files: somehow the HR application can't handle "the currently open section" and I repeatedly got stuck in an infinite loop of the contextual dialog "this file has been modified outside the multi-fichiers (sic, old term) find and replace.» You want to reload the file? "- and it does not matter whether I click Yes (or maybe that's not serious, but I don't know the terms of Yes and no).

  It's frustrating, especially when he's stuck on a single file. After dozens of clicks. I get a popup of RoboHelp HTML (with a red ringed X) which States that "the parameter is incorrect.

  Second, maybe it's my imagination, but there was to be a rocking this user activated (de) select all... and this ability seems to be lost: if I want to limit my edit 'multifile' to tell the 3 files, I need to manually disable all other 500 topics that I don't want to change. Sorry, but I don't have a folder structure that allows me to limit my search in a folder... and reorganize the existing entries will destroy... the table of contents, the see also of hyperlinks, etc.

  Thirdly, the ability to drag the subjects of the list of topics in the current page to create a hypertext link seems to have disappeared. Maybe I dream here, as well, because the list of topics and the current page were not visible at the same time (in a previous version of HR); However, I have to are used to the click and drag the ability for the creation of hypertext links to other topics and I don't understand why it works in some cases (list of projects, TOC) but does not work for the list of topics.

  This is perhaps a few referrals, or maybe someone knows some tips of use that I am not aware... Can anyone offer insight?

  Hello

  To avoid the message about the file being modified, close everything in the editor before you start find and replace operations. The message is produced because you have the aforementioned subjects to open in the editor.

  As you mention "search and replace in files", I assume you are referring to version 8. I just opened version 8 and carried out a search and replace to confirm. There is a button allowing you to cancel all.

  

  By clicking and dragging to create a link, it never worked that way. You can just drag from the pod to the list of topics to do. But you can leave the pod project manager. Perhaps you should consider submitting a form wishes to request the ability to drag and drop the pod of the list of subjects to create links.

  As far as rearrange your subjects in different folders, as long as you do from within RoboHelp you shouldn't be destroying all the links. RoboHelp updates the references for you when you move things. The only question is if you automatically create the structure of your table of contents based on the structure of the project. But usually it's a one time shot. From there to the front, you just handle things by using the table of contents Editor.

  Hope this helps... Rick

• Search and replace the string formatting

  Hello

  I try to do a search and replace the formatting of a string.

  In the example, I'm looking for the string 'SUCCESSFUL', but it must also begin by usbflash and some number + PASSED.

  I can't get the format to have a number between 1 and 99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].

  Make a right-click on the function search and replace the string.  There is an option to use regular Expressions.  Then give it a try.

  

  EDIT: You need to set the entry replace all to TRUE.

• Search and replace, unadulterated second character?

  I'm doing a VI that communicates with an external device via a protocol consisting of images. I made a couple of subVIs that put these images together as hexadecimal strings which are then converted into numbers and passed to the device. The protocol uses an escape character to avoid sending a constant BOF or EOF at the wrong time. I did a Subvi, which is supposed to do this by using the search and replace. Initially, it looks quite elegant, but it has a fatal flaw, if one of the characters it is supposed to hide is written on the edge of a byte, it will always be replaced.

  Example:

  11 01 00 CE 0D 05 08 EA

  is replaced by

  11 01 00 05 08 EA 0D E7

  C0, C1, 7 d are the characters to replace, the 7 d is the escape character.

  Now I wonder, is it possible to do a search and replace function search only every second character in a string?

  Hi Tzench,

  Why you do not work with numbers of converts? It should be easier (and safer) to replace some U8 values instead of search (errors) & replace in a string...

  You should also be careful when you give examples. So in your example, the "hex" number is separated by spaces, search & replace should not create problems with "byte-border '!

• RegExp search and replace, keep the formatting of the original text

  Hello!

  Will have to perform the Search and replace within a framework of text using RegExp.

  And to retain the original formatting of the text block.

  How is it possible?

  Bad example-, it converts all the text formatting to the format of the first character:

  var reg = /a/gmi;
  var replacer = '*';
  var fr = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
  fr.contents = fr.contents.replace (reg , replacer);
  

  

  Thank you!

  I has not yet been tested your code.

  But why you did not play with my code snippet, use something like this:

  // regex_changeContentsOfWordOrString_RemainFormatting.jsx
  // regards pixxxel schubser
  var s = /arguments/gi;
  var replacer = "other string", result;
  var atf = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
  
  while (result = s.exec(atf.contents)) {
      try {
          aCon = atf.characters[result.index];
          aCon.length = result[0].length;
          aCon.contents = replacer;
          } catch (e) {};
      }
  

  Try it and have fun

• Search and replace for the color gradients?

  Just discovered new "Find and replace" tool which is very neat. However, I can't make it work with gradients.

  Hi Evilbob0,

  Search and replace for color, supports only solid colors.

  Gradients are not supported (in - Flash Pro CS6 and CC).

• Reformatting of files in Dreamweaver: series of files (search and replace) .dwr batch consecutively

  I have to do a reformat complicated of an entire site. It is simplified to a series of search and replace tasks for each file. Each search and replace string was recorded in a .dwr file. Currently, I load and run each .dwr file.

  How batch or automate this task in Dreamweaver? In other words, a series of files .dwr to consecutively run the tail?

  OK, here we go.

  This example, a simple command of Dreamweaver Extension, run two find and replace commands in a go. (It can be any number of commands find and replace).

  The first command replaces 'the' and 'this' "phe" and "phis". The second paragraph command replaces

  ...
  ...
  . (These can of course be all find and replace.)

  You need two files: an HTML file (for the UI) and a Javascript file (for actions). I named the 'Find and replace Test.html' and 'find and replace Test.js. (They can be any name).

  Find and replace the file Test.html

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
       
  Are you sure?
   
  
  
  

  Find and replace Test.js

  function canAcceptCommand() {
      return true;
  }
  
  function commandButtons() {
      return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()");
  }
  
  function doIt() {
      dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
          searchString: "th(e|is)",
          replaceString: "ph$1",
          searchWhat: "document",
          searchSource: true,
          useRegularExpressions: true
      });
      dreamweaver.replaceAll();
  
      dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
          searchString: "<(/?)ul>",
          replaceString: "<$1ol>",
          searchWhat: "document",
          searchSource: true,
          useRegularExpressions: true
      });
      dreamweaver.replaceAll();
  
      window.close();
  }
  

  Basically, you can call any number of this pair of functions in the script:

  dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace(findAndReplaceObject);
  dreamweaver.replaceAll();
  

  Place these JS and HTML files in this directory:

  Application Dreamweaver/Configuration/Commands Directory.

  Then in Dreamweaver, open the window "insert." (You need to open an HTML file in order to make the active insertion window.) Above the insertion window, there is a drop down category ("Common" etc.). Do alt + click (ctrl + click) - then you'll see a 'Reload Extenesions' element at the bottom of the drop-down list. This will load this extension of DW. (Alternatively, you can restart DW to load the extension.)

  It is now ready to run the Extension. Open an HTML document that you want to change. Go to the 'orders' in the menu bar. At the bottom of the drop-down list, there is an article "find and replace Test." Select and enjoy

  Notes

  • This example is configured to perform the search and replace on the active document. You can change the scope to the whole of the site, or the files selected, etc., as in the dialog box find and replace. The doc of the API is here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed a.html
  • You can use dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace (xmlQueryString) command instead. xmlQueryString is essentially ... in your .dwr file, you can copy files .dwr. However xmlQueryString must be a continuous string (no line breaks), which can be a pain in the doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed 9 html
