How to write the script to apply the character style?

Hello

I'm on a Macbook pro and without a numeric keypad, so I can't assign a shortcut to character styles. I heard a roundabout solution where you can assign a shortcut to a script that applies the character styles. Can anyone write this script?

My character style is called "features"bold. "

I am new to scripting, sorry if this is a stupid question.

See you soon

Hello

1. save this code as a file inside your Script Panel folder .jsx

2. apply a shortcut using the menu Edit: shortcuts...

Option to choose:

  • suggest you choose an option 'background': 'Text', so you can use several shortcuts that are occupied in other contexts.
#target indesign
if (app.selection && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baselineShift") ) {
  var cName = "Features bold";
  var mCstyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(cName);
  if (mCstyle.isValid)
       app.selection[0].applyCharacterStyle(mCstyle);
  else
       alert ("CharStyle: " + cName + " not found");
  }
else
  alert ("Some text supposed to be selected...");

    If you want to determine the id of the target account your opening assignment statement must be:

    Account = fdmRow.getString ("ACCOUNTX")

    As if - elif-instructions else keep lowercase stream operators. If you continue a command on multiple lines, then place parentheses is

    If (account == "113101") or (account == "113201") or (account == "113301") or (account == "113401") or (account == "113501") or (account == "113601") or (account == "215101") or (account == "215201") or (account == "215301") or (account == "215401") or (account == "215501") or (account == "215601") or (account == "252111") or (account == "156101"):

    fdmResult = "21_ADNIP".

  • How to apply the character style to table cell

    I'm sure it's basic, but I can't find any references on how to do it and my attempts have failed.  I use VB and CS5.5

    Basically what I'm trying to do is to select a table cell and apply a character like this style...

    MyCharacterStyle = myDocument.CharacterStyles.Add set

    myCharacterStyle.Name = "TH2".

    myTable2.Cells.Item (1) .appliedCharacterStyle = "TH2".

    with this code, I get a "object does not support this property or method.  myTable2.Cells.Item (...). appliedCharacterStyle ".

    I tried several other versions without success.

    Can someone tell me what would be the proper syntax to apply a character style to text in a table cell, or if it's still the right path to follow on that?

    I have to select the text in the cell rather than the cell itself, and if so, how do you do that?

    Thank you

    You do not need to select the text in the cell, but you need

    to target rather than the cell. It is true that in the user interface, you can

    Select the cell and apply a style of tank, but not with a script. Thus, in

    JavaScript is:

    myCell.texts.item (0) = .appliedCharacterStyle

    app.activeDocument.characterStyles.itemByName ("MyCharStyleName")

    It must be something similar in VB also.

    Of course, you can target the text in different ways:

    myCell.characters.everyItem () or myCell.paragraphs.everyItem () etc etc.

    but I think that the text is the most basic of the lot.

  • Open XML, how to write the path

    Hello

    I'm new to the Blackberry development and I hope you can help me with my problem. I try to work with an XML file, and so far, all that does very well as long I had the xml file, I work on, in the folder of my java application and deyployed using the desktop software. Now, I tried to put the file somewhere else on the Blackberry and I don't know how wirte the path to the source code. I tried the following, but it seems to be bad:

    private static String _xmlFileName = "file:///store/home/user/documents/test.xml";
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                InputStream inputStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream( _xmlFileName );
                Document document = builder.parse( inputStream );
    

    I hope you can give me a hint, how I write the correct path?

    Thank you very much!

    Best regards, jtr87

    PS: Sorry for my bad English, but I did not use it very often.

    You need to do something like that to get your InputStream:

    /** * @return an open InputStream for a file, or null if file does not * exist. * @throws IOException if there is an error opening the file */InputStream getInputStream(String name) throws IOException {
        FileConnection fc = null;
        try {
            fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open(name, Connector.READ);
            if (fc.exists()) {
                return fc.openInputStream();
            }
        } finally {
            if (fc != null) {
                try {
                    fc.close();
                } catch (Exception ignored) {
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
    

    Notice that you must close the FileConnection at some point, regardless of if the call to openInputStream worked.

    where AM columnname between 5 May 12 02:57:00.000' and ' 02:59:59.999 6 May 12: ';


    Please do what is necessary...

    Pavan Kumar says:
    QUERY = (columnname scott.test: "where between 5 May 12 02:57:00.000 h ' and ' 6 May 12 AM 02:59:59.999'")

    Who will fail in databases, because you assume nls_date_format. How it is difficult to put to_date() surround channels? Rather than play with quotation marks, using one parfile thusly.

    query=table_owner.table_1:"where business_date between to_date('20120505025700 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am') and to_date('20120505025959 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am')"
    query=table_owner.table_2:"where business_date between to_date('20120505025700 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am') and to_date('20120505025959 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am')"
    query=table_owner.table_3:"where business_date between to_date('20120505025700 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am') and to_date('20120505025959 am','yyyymmddhhmiss am')"
    

    You do not have to have all the clauses in a single line, as they are side by side parfile, which would be enough. For this reason parfile is better than the command line in order to avoid all the back-citing dance.

    These Xtras can cause a lot of havoc when used with the intent to hurt.
    What you can do is to write with setpref and store a list of backups and the
    registers itself separately. Next, you need to build your own save/open
    dialog box for the user:
    * Choose a previously saved file to load or replace
    to create a user type the name of a new file to be saved.

    The only thing that remains is that the user can't decide where files
    are saved.

  • Apply the character style to the part of the paragraph

    I am inserting text in a block of text with the following code:

    Dan - BTP says:

    ... the size in points and attack can be different on each page...

    You are able to find a rule of these differences?

    ...

    What do depends on what type of rule could be defined

    ...

    The size of reference point that is 1.5 PT lower than the point size of the paragraph, whatever.

    Close to the end of the script, you can code for example:

         //     Your target is "reference" which is a text inbetween tabulator and end of story (or other criteria).
         //     So you could define:
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;      // just for clear it
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\t).+\\s\\Z";     //     to catch text following tab in last para of story
         //     and after:
    mFound = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
         //     so all desired text objects are in an array "mFound".
         //     you could iterate (backward) through it:
    len = mFound.length;
    while (len-->0)      //     ">0" in case of nothing found
         mFound[len].pointSize -= 1.5;
    
         //     whatever that is - is 1.5 smaller
