How find/replace just a story of VB script.

Hi all

I use a lot of find/change grep options in my VB script. But find/replace replace always in each textframe I have on my current document. I would like to define just to do this on a story (which would be on the selected text blocks). Can anyone help? I try to find that in virtue of
FindChangeGrepOption, but I see this is not the place. I have attached the screenshot so you can see what I set in my VB script.

Thank you.

The trick is to target the research of history of interest. In JavaScript, I would write something like this (with the first installation the find/replace):

myStory.changeGrep ();

  • How find/replace in italics in a PDF?

    I would change all the italics in a PDF document to a different font, so they will recognize when I convert the PDF into an InDesign file. For now they are fake italics of an embedded font, so when I convert the file they disappear and turn into regular text. I will change the fonts once I converted so I don't necessarily have to keep a font italicized, just something different, so I'll be able to change them later to italics. I tried a few sentences and makes them Times New Roman instead of Janson Text 55 Roman and when I converted they remained as Times New Roman and I could make them italic font. I was wondering if there is a way to search the entire PDF file and do a find/replace mass rather than scroll through the entire novel and change them manually?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • How to replace just one on 3 identically linked images?

    Hello

    I looked for a solution for several hours now, and I couldn't find a way to solve this problem.

    1. I created a PSD file in which I placed 3 pictures (all related to the same external image).
    2. Then I needed to replace one of these three images, linking to a different external image. But this is not possible: whenever I highlight a linked image in the layer panel and choose to replace its contents (you can also re - link), all the 3 images are replaced.

    It seems that Photoshop doesn't care image that is highlighted, it always takes into account that I want to replace myimage.jpg in one place, I would also like to replace in other locations.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem? (I use Photoshop CC 2015)

    Ah, I've found a workaround: contrary to what I wrote "file and incorporate" works if that's how you insert images right from the start.

    However, if you insert images with 'place and link file', and then stir through the context menu - the replacement ghost effect is still there. Stupid.

    (In fact, it is also stupid for linked files. "But at least I have now a workaround).

  • How can I Print "Find/replace" results?

    I use "find/replace" to locate all JPEG files currently used within a site.  How can I print the search results. Tróchez and paste does not work it would be useful to print the result, because they can number in the hundreds for the largest sites... Write the results is a real pain.

    The only solution I can think would be open to the top your search results Panel completely and do a Screengrab with screen printing, SnagIt or wisdom-Soft Screen Hunter Pro.

  • How to use styles to characters in find/replace JavaScripts?

    First of all, good luck to Ole. It has been so useful (and a good writer, too). All the best!

    My JavaScripts find/replace run trouble in line 159 of the ExtendScript Toolkit. The script is looking for a particular font, it is expected to then apply a character style. I use the format that I see in the example text 'FindChangeList' to Adobe, but the script is always hit a wall. What I am doing wrong? I wish I had a working method for research, not only for fonts, but also to find a paragraph or character style and apply a new style.

    Simple stuff, but I'm roadblocked.

    Here's the script until now:

    This script applies the character style DFKai to the Arial Unicode font.


    text {findWhat: "', appliedFont:" Arial Unicode MS", fontStyle:"Regular"} {appliedCharacterStyle: 'DFKai'} {include notes: true, include master pages: true include hidden layers: true, any word: false} find Unicode fonts; change the style of character DFKai.

    Thanks for your help!

    Gary Niemeier says:

    {include notes: true, include master pages: true include hidden layers: true, any word: false}

    This not is not valid JavaScript, it looks like it was copied from a script AppleScript but not changed properly. Keys property for options must not contain spaces, they must be written:

    {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}
    
  • Instructions on how to replace a keyboard on a Portégé M800

    Hello

    I messed up my original keyboard by flooding with water, then drying it up to the point where some keys melted.
    I know it's a stupid thing to do. But, what I can say...

    I tried to ask a technical center to fix, only a few buttons were unresponsive. Everything else works fine.
    Without really looking in detail, they wanted to change the whole motherboard and a number other parts for a price close to that of the computer laptop itself.

    So I bought a new keyboard on eBay. However, I am lack of instructions on how to replace it.
    On the net, I found the instructions for older versions of Portege and unfortunately there is no place for the M800.
    Can anyone, please, help?

    See you soon,.

    / Numidic

    Hello

    I think that you will not find instructions how disassemble a Portege M800. You can download just the user's manual and technical manuals are not for the public, I think that they are no longer available for s ASP.

    Anyway, as far as I know to remove the keyboard support and two screws they secure the keyboard. Then you can delete it.

    But to be honest I recommend to contact a technician from the laptop to help. Computer laptop disassembly isn't easy, it s a little more delicate and you need to remove a large number of screws. If you are on the safe side because M800 is fairly new to laptop. ;)

  • Find + replace text (string constant) does not work for screw Statechart module

    Hello

    I tried to do a mass find + replace a string in my code. Using Ctrl + F, LabVIEW 2012 correctly locates all the places where this string exists, including within the States transitions guards who have paths in this form:

    XYZ.lvsciagram.vi / Transition: Guard - diagram, Transition, data/part

    However, when I've specified that a replacement string, then click on 'Replace all', only 'normal' instances of screws replaced - instances in my diagrams had not changed.

    What is going on? Is there anything else I need to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like those that does not include how to find and replace is implemented in LabVIEW. You can try to replace just the statechart and see if that makes a difference, but it may simply not work.

  • conditional text find/replace problem

    Hello!

    For a few hours, I'm trying to solve this case: I want to apply conditions (conditional text) to all paragraphs according to the name of the applied style. So, for example, text with paragraph called "BODY" style should have "BODY" of the conditional text etc. I figured out mechanism, but I can't solve the problem with passing to find/replace.

    Here is my code:

    (function() {
        if (app.documents.length > 0) {
            processDocument(app.documents[0]);
        }
        function processDocument(aDoc) {
            var paraStyles = aDoc.allParagraphStyles.sort();
            for (var j = 0; paraStyles.length > j; j++) {
                var currentStyle = paraStyles[j].name;
                if(aDoc.conditions.item (currentStyle) == null){
                    var varConditions = aDoc.conditions.add({name: currentStyle});
                }
                doFindChange(currentStyle);
            }
        }
    }())
    function doFindChange(currentStyle) {
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
        
        app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = currentStyle;
        app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = currentStyle;
        
        app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    }
    

    I know what's wrong, but I have no idea how to change.

    Could someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    You have some problems in the code:

    1 move the actual paragraph style (and not just its name) to findGrepPreferences (your variable, currentStyle is a string, although this can work, it is better [especially for paragraph in the groups styles] to adopt the paragraph style real itself).

    2. Ditto for the appliedCondition: give changeGrepPreferences the condition itself, not just its name.

    3. it seems that changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions expects a range of disorders, then give him a table even if it has only one member.

  • Where can I get the downloadable templates where I can replace just the info?

    I'm confused how to find and download templates already made (with examples, images and text), where I can replace just the info/images, so I don't have to start from scratch with html and css.  There is really not with my CS5 (CS3 had some) and I was wondering if there is an online source of adobe which is recommended.  I tried to download a random but he had several files and I didn't know how to open up or who point to click Open the template.  I also want a model that is friendly for mobile devices.

    THANKS much for any help you can offer.  I built a site css scratch years ago and I need to update to a mobile and I don't want to go through all the hassle.  I'd start rather cool.

  • 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"

  • Slideshow: How to replace on the arrows 'Next' and 'Previous' with custom arrows?

In want to replace their previous custom and buttons that I created in Photoshop.

    1. go slideshow options and uncheck the Edit set.

    2. Select the next button and click complete to open filler panel.


    3. click Add picture and select the image you want to use. Also select the type of connection as "Scale to fill" or "scale to fit"and make the 'Center'. "

  • Find/replace for text formatting

    Hi guys,.

    How to use find/replace for text formatting changes? I would like to change a text of entire book to try an another typographical options. The book is currently typed in text of Lyon. The problem is when I change to Sabon will make it overides the italics and the word "BOLD".

    I tried to find/display

    Search

    Lyon text regular italic

    Change

    Sabon italic

    Captura de pantalla 2015-02-18 a la(s) 10.17.19.png

    but it does not work. Most of the text of this book is not formatted with the character to italic Style, for example, just a paragraph Style General to make it easier to work with.

    What I am doing wrong? Any help or ideas?


    Thank you!

    All of the text has a paragraph style that applies the formatting of basis for the whole paragraph. ALL text that deviates from the General formatting of the paragraph should have a style of character applied somehow, either directly, or as a nested or style GREP, which overrides the formatting of paragraph and gives what you want. The paragraph styles that do not change the font family are much more useful, for example a style that just changing the text in italics, as they continue to work when you change the font family of the paragraph style in the basic text format section.

    Character styles are used ONLY to change the part of the text in a paragraph. If the paragraph has the same formatting, it should have a paragraph set for this format style.
