How to find and replace text in the index entries?

Hello

Recently, I copied a manual to create a new one for another product. After a global search and replace the product names and other texts, I needed to replace a specific word that appears in the index entries.

I noticed the search box would allow me to search the text of the marker, but I had to replaceme the word by hand - cut and paste the new Word, click on change the marker to save it and then find the next occurrence.

It's with frame 7.2. Does anyone know a faster way to do this?

Yours,

Michael F.

Peter,

Thanks for the lead.

I downloaded the zip file and all it contains is a DLL file, but no instructions.

What should I do to make it work and how do I know that it works?

Yours,

  • Find and replace text in documents invisibly

    Hello

    here in this forum I found the Russ find/replace function in ExtendScript, with which you can find and replace text. The script works perfectly when the documents are opened. In the case of invisibly open documents, that the script does not work since TextSelection is obviously applied. Refer to link:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/message/4032650#4032650

    I want to find and replace text within a structure of book, it would be useful if I could do it in documents that are not visibly open (Constants.FS_MakeVisible = false). Does anyone have an approach to find and replace in documents that are not visibly open? Or can someone confirm that this is only possible with TextSelection, which means that it does not work in documents open invisible?

    Thank you very much!

    Concerning

    Apollo102

    Apollo,

    I looked into this and I was able to reproduce the problem. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a perfect solution. Running in the debugger, I found that the failure occurs with the Find() call. All paragraphs, the text ranges, etc. are valid... it's just that the Find() call fails to find anything.

    I found that if you turn on/off the display, all of a sudden the Find() operation works with the hidden document:

    doc. IsOnScreen = true;

    doc. IsOnScreen = false;

    I don't know if this is a practical solution and of course, you may as well open visible in the first place. Would be of no help to just disable the updates with the interface?

    App. Display = false;

    Just be sure to return true at the end of the script

    I'm sorry I couldn't find a complete solution. It might be possible to appeal to something that makes the hidden document searchable, but I did not understand it.

  • How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, one

    How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, request adobe livecycle to settle. Help, please.

    Best way to do is the following:

    -Open the PDF in Acrobat.

    -Go to tools - form - form more Options - export data.

    -Save form data in an XML file somewhere on your system.

    -Open the XML file in a plain text editor (I recommend Notepad ++).

    -Let's say you want to replace all the years in dates "2013" to '2014 '. Do a global search & replace '2013-' to '2014' - (I added the dashboard in order to ensure that only the date fields are changed).

    -Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).

    -Go back to the PDF file and now go to tools - forms - more form Options - import data.

    -Select the modified XML file and import it.

    -Fact!

  • Find and replace text with formatted text.

    I am trying to replace the text ' ^ 2 ' with '2' on photoshop by a search and replace, because there are many cases that on my image, but I can't seem to access any feature in photoshop which can do a search and replace for anything other than simple text. Is there a css solution, or a plugin that would allow me to do this? I have not sought on anything either on google search, although I will update this thread if I find something

    Google found this discussion Forums Adobe with different versions of the script.  I don't know exactly what made the script, but maybe it would work.  You probably want to make a backup of your documents before you run it:

    How to add and edit text in the form created by adobe acrobat 9?

    Actually, that's exactly what you should do, you don't need to create

    all fields again.

    After you have edited the original and create a new static PDF, open the old

    version and use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages

    those in the old file. This will keep all the form fields in tact.

  • Find and replace Question (skipping the code block)

    Hi, I worked on it for a few days now and can't seem to make it work. I read through the tutorials page Trent Mueller, etc., but it does not work just the way I need to. I'm really starting to get a little goofy to manually place images based on finding the unique product code. I'd appreciate any help really.

  • Find and replace text

    Hello

    I need to find and replace the string below. can someone please help.

    I have a 9E20300349013 string

    If the second character is E or G, then I need strip of the first two charecters like 20300349013.  I tried like, but is there a better way to do this in a single sql statement.

    IF REGEXP_SUBSTR ('9E20300349013', ' [A - Z] +', 2, 1) = 'E' OR
    REGEXP_SUBSTR ('9E20300349013', ' [A - Z] +', 2, 1) = 'G' THEN
    --
    VAR_PCN_SCRUBBED: = REGEXP_SUBSTR ('9E20300349013', ' [0-9] +', 1, 2);
    --
    END IF;

    IF SUBSTR ('9E20300349013', 2, 1) = 'E' OR
    SUBSTR ('9E20300349013', 2, 1) = 'G' THEN
    --
    VAR_PCN_SCRUBBED: = SUBSTR('9E20300349013',3);
    --
    END IF;

    Hello

    As Nick suggested, you can use only 1 operation instead of 2 = operations.

    Instead of IF, you can use CASES.

    Using regular expressions, you can also search for 'E' or 'G' at the same time, like this:

    var_pcn_scrubbed: = REGEXP_REPLACE ('9E20300349013'

    , '^. [EG] (.*)'

    , '\1'

    );

  • Find and replace all of the odd numbered lines?

    Is their way to search for and replace or delete really, all the odd numbered lines in code view? I have about 12,000 lines of code but you don't need that things on the even lines.

    Thank you very much for the help!

    The odd lines contain random numbers and letters, that's why I can't just find and replace. If they were embedded in a tag, say a 34341 is the way for me to tell dreamweaver to remove all the interval and ? That would solve the problem.

  • How to find and replace a URL in the content

    See the following page:

    http://democraticpartyofgeorgia.org/events/index.cfm?fuseaction=week & SM = 9 & SD = 9 & SY = 2007

    He pushes the margins way because some people type in long URLS in their description of the event (see the meeting September 10). I would like to be able to analyze the event description and replace that long url with a hyperlink where the long url is in the attribute href, but which is related is something link 'see link'. Is it possible to do? I can search for the instance of "" http:// ' of course, but can't seem to find a way to tell where the ends of the link... "

    Look at the ActivateURL udf to
    http://www.cflib.org/UDF.cfm/activateurl

    It's really more a question on a very long word of packaging. The URL is not packing, and it's what drives your margin. You need the column to encapsulate your column is a bit more liquid.

    Use the wrap() function CF.

    You can also go the road CSS, but the best solution I found only works on IE.

  • Find and move text within the existing framework of anchored

    I have a great story that spans several pages text. It contains a number of paragraphs that have the following content:

    [empty anchor for an existing character, but the anchor text frame] [important book that contains NO tab] [TAB] [intermediate text containing NO tab] [TAB] [end text containing NO tab] [empty anchor for an another existing character, but the block of anchor text]

    I need a script (Javascript, preferably) that:

    1. find a paragraph that starts with a character of anchor;

    2. find and cut the main text between the character of the anchor and the first TAB after

    3. Paste the main text in text anchored at the beginning of the paragraph;

    4. in the same paragraph, find the final text between the second (and last) TAB and the character of the second (and last) anchor at the end of the paragraph;

    5. glue the final text under text anchored at the end of the paragraph;

    6. repeat 1. -5. for the paragraph all in the same article that starts with a character of the anchor.


    I'm a JS programmer advanced, but new scripts CreativeSuite. I just understood how to search for some text, and I know that the 'parent' of an anchored object is a 'character' - but now to I access the contents of an object anchored to its parent character?


    Even better:

    function movetoanchored(find) {
      var myText = find.characters.itemByRange(1, -1).texts[0];
      var myFrame = find.characters[0].textFrames[0];
      myText.move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, myFrame);
    };
    
    function main() {
      var myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^~a\\S+";
      var myFinds = myStory.findGrep(true);
      for (i = 0; i < myFinds.length; i++) movetoanchored(myFinds[i]);
      Window.alert(myFinds.length + " moves performed");
    };
    
    app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "MoveToAnchored");
