How can I make a long list of search - replace only the master

Hello world

I had this script:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

myDocuments var = app.documents.everyItem ();
var myLayers = myDocuments.layers.everyItem ();

Locked text on master blocks spreads are not affected.
If you want to unblock, please add something like this:

Unlock all elements of each document page on is spreading and Captain spreads (optional):
myDocuments.pageItems.everyItem (.locked = false);

var myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads = myDocuments.spreads.everyItem ().pageItems.everyItem ();

Unlock the layers (optional)
myLayers.locked = false;

Lock all elements of page level first on normal spreads
This leaves the elements on the page on unlocked master spreads:
myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads.locked = true;

Now for the GREP part:
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = true;
app.findGrepPreferences = changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\b20\\d+\\b";

Research on "all open document" level
Which returns an array of arrays:
var myTarget = myDocuments.findGrep ();

Flattening of myTarget Bay:
var flattenedFoundArray = [];

for (var n = 0; n < myTarget.length; n ++) {}
flattenedFoundArray = flattenedFoundArray.concat (myTarget [n]);
};

Change the content of the texts found in flat table:
for (var n = flattenedFoundArray.length - 1; n > = 0; n-) {}
flattenedFoundArray [n] .silence = String (Number(flattenedFoundArray[n].contents) + 1);
};

Unlock all objects on normal spreads:
myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads.locked = false;

Reset search GREP and edit the prefs:
app.findGrepPreferences = changeGrepPreferences = null;

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

I change in this, to make a multi elements of search - replace only the master

myDocuments var = app.documents.everyItem ();

//===============================================================================

only what I can do is to repeat and repeat again

is this another perfect solution to do?

Thank you

Try this,

findChange("USA", "CHINA");
findChange("Washington DC", "Beijing");

function findChange (findWhat, changeContent){
    var myDocuments = app.documents.everyItem();
    var myLayers = myDocuments.layers.everyItem();
    //Locked text frames on master spreads are not touched.
    //If you want to unlock them you have to add something like this:
    //Unlock ALL page items in every document on spreads and master spreads (optional):
    myDocuments.pageItems.everyItem().locked = false;
    var myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads = myDocuments.spreads.everyItem().pageItems.everyItem();
    //Unlock the layers (optional)
    myLayers.locked = false;
    //Lock all first level page items on normal spreads
    //That leaves the page items on master spreads unlocked:
    myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads.locked = true;
    //Now for the GREP part:
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = true;
    app.findGrepPreferences = changeGrepPreferences = null;
    if(findWhat)app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = findWhat;
    //Do the search on "all open document" level
    //That will return an array of arrays:
    var myTarget = myDocuments.findGrep();
    //Flattening the myTarget array:
    var flattenedFoundArray = [];
    for(var n=0;n=0;n--){
        if(changeContent)flattenedFoundArray[n].contents = changeContent;
        };
    //Unlock all objects on normal spreads:
    myPageItemsOnNormalSpreads.locked = false;
    //Reset GREP find and change prefs:
    app.findGrepPreferences = changeGrepPreferences = null;
}

What I would do is to backup your data on an external drive,

Restart the mac while holding the ⌘R until the apple logo appears and wait until the boot process is completed. It may take more time to start.

Once in recovery mode select your preferred language, click on update or reinstall a copy of OS X., select your drive and wait for the process to do. (Also click on continue and accept all that)

One time did Shutdown and finished reinstall then start in recovery mode again (⌘R) and then click on restore Time Machine backup and then use the backup that you have saved on your external drive. Do you know how to use time machine to back up data in system preferences?

Best regards

How can you make records open or preview when plane of the mouse on them?

I would like to find a way to create a folder, in particular on the desktop, that would popup or show somehow its content just with the mouse hover to say a second or something. Something similar to how the start menu can transform files to the right in the menus that can be done from there. I want to put several shortcuts in a folder to save space on my desk but I want to show them with just a mouse pointer so that its essentially the same functionality that have it on the desktop without extra clicking involved or appear a window of the Explorer.

Hello

Unfortunately, this is not possible. If we hover over a folder or a file, it will show us the default information that is by design. You can publish your comments on the following link:
