• help with search and replace the script please

  Hi all

  I wrote a javascript that uses various find/change GREP and text to copy text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the head of the race and feet), and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do. If I was doing a search/replace manual (with nothing selected) it would automatically choose the first para in the first text box, but when I run the following:

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + $» ;
  app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo ="";
  app.activeDocument.changeGrep ();

  It is all the records and removes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to remove the first paragraph, then again to remove the other (first new) paragraph. My JS skills are weak, but I'm very uncomfortable with GREP. Can someone point me in the right direction for how I achieve what I want? If I made a loop for surely I would just do the same thing but more than once!

  Much to my surprise the rest of the script works even if it hurts my brain!

  Thanks for your suggestions,

  Iain

  The command 'changeGrep' is a 'change everything' - there is no equivalent of the buttons "change, following" and "find next".

  Normally, all that is necessary is to remove the first paragraph of a story asset is the following:

  myStory.paragraphs [0] .remove ();

  (and I'm sure you can work, because you are already copying him) but just for fun, you can try this solution Pure GREP:

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\A.*\r";

  Once again replacing it with nothing.

  (It is preferable to use the function 'delete', however).

• How to automate the actions of search and replace?

  Hi, dear ALL

  TestStand has the utility "Find/replace" (Edit menu). Is it possible to run this tool through the TestStand API? I want to select a set of steps in sequence and pass the result to the tab "find the result 1"...

  Kind regards

  Max

  Two things to mention:

  (1) OutputMessages that may have locations are associated with, so that when you double-click it, the sequence editor goes to the location. You can set the location after you create the outputmessage with Engine.NewOutputMessage () (do not pass a context of sequence in this case) and before posting (i.e. before calling OutputMessage.Post ()). To add a location, the easiest method is by calling myOutputMessage.Locations.AddFileLocationByObject () and passing the reference you have to step. See the online help of the API for more information.

  (2) I strongly recommend take you a look at TestStand 2010, there is currently a beta version, you can sign up for:

• 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.

  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.

• Help with GREP search and replace

  I've never used grep before and I'm stumped.  I have a document that lists the times for different classes.  Times are variously listed as 9-10, 9-10, 9-10 or 9-10, to get examples.  The problem is that there may be no space or a space on the left or the right of the hyphen.  I want it all the time as 10:30 - 11:30, for example.  In other words, the link must have a space on each side of it.  I think that this could be accomplished with GREP search and replace, but I don't understand the syntax well enough to make it work.

  Can someone tell me how to write the search and replace expressions?  (Of course the real time could be any hours).

  Thank you!

  It is tempting to add spaces of * all numbers separated by a dash. If you don't know all time have some minutes, then it is safer to use this:

  (?<=:\d\d)>

  .. Replace with space hyphen space.

  He seeks the "settler, any digit, any digit" (which is * found * not * included *), followed by 'optional of a space, a hyphen, optional space' and must be followed by 'any number' (again, not counting this one). Since the figures before and after are * found * not * included *-which is due to the (? xxx) syntax - all that needs to be replaced is the dashboard itself. Making the space before and after the optional dashboard (using a single "?" immediately after each), no matter if it * is * a space or not, all the combinations will be found and replaced.

• text-align: center in div with images and text

  If I put a div with text-align: center, and includes annother div with text as an image inside, will be the text and the image centered on the page in all browsers?

  , It works very well on fire fox but so do a lot of things! Ive tested the net IE rendering (http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php) and it seems to work fine. IM worried however as Ive read the tutorials that use means much more complex centering images and text so im wonding if it has some problems.

  Thank you

  It works fine in all browsers.

• How to make a form with report and a form of inclusion in the same page?

  Hey, guys:
  
  I was wondering if you could have any link or examples to show how to make a form with report and a form of inclusion in the same page, these two forms are related to the same table. Our customer wants that a user can add a new row to the table in a form and see all lines created by this user in a report, the report should provide link change as well. the problem is: whenever I inserted a new line or change a line or delete a line, and submitted and return to this page, all hidden elements lost their values, this report is empty, and some display only items also lost their values. Could someone give me any suggestions?
  
  Thank you very much!
  
  Sam

  So, the problem is essentially with page elements lose their session state values when re-loading of the page. How do you define values for the elements of the hidden page? You have default values defined for those? They are based on the database column? What is the "Source" parameter for these items on the page? It is set to "Always, replace any value in session state"? You have any process of 'Empty the Cache', which is reset these values to null element?

  What is your version of the Apex?

  I would recommend that you have installed for example in apex.oracle.com. This would help to better understand the issue.

• [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.

• 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

• 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

  

  Peter, try this...

  Find:------.<>

• Multiple search and replace missing.

  I had a search on the forums and cannot find a similar thread so forgive me if this is already there or there's a blinding problem.

  I recently installed RH8 and am in the process of upgrading our current 20 or so other authors to RH8 of RH5. However, I was unable to find multi-fichiers find and replace tool. I opened the box pod tool, and there is a list of tools, neither of which is the multi file find and replace.

  I know there are other search and replace tools/software out there but our platform is variable with air and it's a real pain to downloaded software.

  So my question is should be there the old find multi-fichiers and replace in the Toolbox pod and if it should be there, how can I get it?

  I re-installed RH8 etc to see if it was a problem, but it made no difference.

  It's just an executable file. OK, you will need to ensure it has been installed on each PC RH8 but then you could just add to your Toolbox pod while it was still available because he was with RHX5. Just a thought.

• I can't seem to make the "search and replace string" works as expected.

  I forgot to turn on 'regular expressions' in "Search and replace the String" VI.

  After having turned it on, it works as expected.

• 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.
