How to find specific text in a cell and remove it?

I'm wearing an intensive series of data in tables. Some have a "NULL" which should be removed with the cell that containsthe value.

Based on a similar script to remove lines containing the text I tried without success to the following:

var doc = app.activeDocument,

_cells = doc.stories.everyItem ().tables.everyItem ().cells.everyItem () .getElements ();

If (_cells.contents == "NULL") _cells.remove ();

}

Since I'm a newbie to script; can you help me figure our what's the problem? Thank you!

Well, you need to think about how you would do this in InDesign UI. And just as it is impossible to 'delete' a cell of a table in the user interface, so it is impossible to do it via script.

What you could do in the user interface is to merge the cell by another, or remove its borders if it has one. If these operations can be done via script as well.

But to remove a cell? No such thing!

  • How to put the text in the cell and support in detail in read-only?

    Hello world

    In Hyperion 11.1.1.3, nobody knows how to put the text in the cell and the support of the details read-only after that the budgeting process is done in order to avoid people to change their comments.

    Thank you!

    There is no way to restrict the entry of text in the cell
    If you specify the description to charge you like details in support, which can be made read-only.
    but cell text comments to review, which can be changed. Even if you only read your form, users will be able to enter the text in the cell as long as they have access to the intersections of data...

    You can do a process to enter the descriptions of the charges, as supporting details only...

  • How to display the text in the cell for CDA on the report

    Hi all

    I use en-Studio of reporting. Now my requirement is I want to show the text in the cell that I added under CDA - column Variance in the report. So for this I used the text of the cells and within this function function, I gave the line, column and page number. But it does not show the text in the cell that I added for hyperion planning on the report. But if I am referring to another cell text that I added to the variance of Yeartotal I'm able to see on the report.
    Can someone tell me why I'm not able to see the text from the cell that I added to the variance of the CDA?
    Pls tell the way by which I can return.

    My formula looks like this-

    < < TxtCase ("Grid1", 78 H, 1, $CurrentMonth = "October") > > I am very confused about the last parameter. No error or the kind of argument not valid message, but it still all just empty.



    Thank you

    I think you're out of luck on this one.

    Cell notes are stored in the planning of the HSP_CELL_NOTE and HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM tables. Done HSP_CELL_NOTE refers to a member for each dimension that is pointing to the intersection where the note should be linked. YearTotal is an intersection, even though it is dynamically calc would be in essbase. Each HSP_CELL_NOTE NOTE_ID points to one or more notes that are stored in HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM. This means that although you can save a note in YearTotal, it does not display when you report on the Y-T-D (Oct) which is purely dynamic. It does state that when you reference specifically an intersection that is stored in HSP_CELL_NOTE.

    It would be nice if you could see all the notes stored in Jan: Oct when your report contains a Y-T-D (Oct), but it doesn't.

    You can always write a stored procedure to go against the tables and the report in excel.

    Hello

    in the case that a cell is empty, script will cause an error with my documents, because not every cell has a text.

    You should try my documents shortcut to:

    My documents = app.documents.everyItem ().stories.everyItem ().tables.everyItem ().cells.everyItem ();

    or even better:

    My documents = app.documents.everyItem ().stories.everyItem ().tables.everyItem ().

  • How can we find persistent cookies stored on Vista and remove them?

    I note that, although when I set my privacy settings to block cookies, some cookies still 'place' or persisted in previous sessions.

    In Vista you cannot access the Documents & settings "junction", apparently because it is not a folder. I want to access all cookies on my computer and of course I want total control on whether to keep or delete.  There are laws - many sites (no adults) do not clear and open rules!

    (1) how to find all the cookies, including the hidden "Cookies\Low", and how can I remove them?

    (2) why Microsoft has ultimate management and control cookies so difficult for its customers under Vista? If the control has been designed to be transparent and intutitive, I thought now!

    PS We customers deserve an answer that isn't gobbedlygook. I don't know how to use the location information such as:

    Directory Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wiindows\Cookies

    Directory Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wiindows\Cookies\Low

    Still, you may be unable to delete the files from the Explorer because of additional security introduced in Vista to prevent websites to access the files on your computer.

  • Is it possible to add text to the cells and apply the character style in the cell

    I work in InDesign on Mac 5.

    I have two tables of formatting with information that will be eventually combined. I implemented the scripts I found on these forums to add the columns needed, merge lines and fill the cells merged with the appropriate color, but can't two remaining tasks.

    1. is it possible to add text to a cell of some?

    2 and it is possible to apply a character style to cells? (different cells than those that I need to add some text)

    I played with this code but do not know if it is even close...

    {

    table. Rows [0]. Cells [0]. InsertText (' CS/PS");

    }

    {

    table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .appliedCharacterStyle ("bold");

    }

    Here are the scripts that I have combined so far for the table...

    Add column

    myTable = app.selection [0];

    MyColumn = myTable.columns [1];

    for (a = 0; < 1; a ++)

    {

    myTable.columns.add (LocationOptions.AFTER, myColumn);

    }

    Merge lines

    table = app.selection [0];

    If (table.hasOwnProperty ("baseline") table) = table.parent;

    If (instanceof cell table) table = table.parent;

    If (instanceof column table) table = table.parent;

    If (instanceof row table) table = table.parent;

    If (instanceof Table table)

    {

    table. Rows [0]. Cells [0]. Merge (table.rows [0] .cells [1]);

    }

    {

    colours alternating in merged lines

    r = table.rows [1];

    n = app.activeDocument.swatches.item ("orange");

    b = app.activeDocument.swatches.item ("PANTONE 3005 C");

    for (c = 0; c < r.cells.length; c ++)

    {

    If (c & 1)

    r.Cells [c]. Properties = {fillColor:b};

    on the other

    r.Cells [c]. FillColor = n;

    }

    }

    Hello

    1. If you want to add the text, go further in:

    table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .insertionPoints [0] .silence = ' CS/PS;

    2 similar with application of styles:

    table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .texts [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = "bold" / / If this style is present in your doc
