• GREP find/replace + paragraph Styles

  Hello

  I'm editing a long document and have benefited from the assistance of the community already, but being new GREP Style, find/replace, I need to ask for additional help.

  Below a screenshot of the script (original). Two blocks of text you see anticipated by the icons have have styles of different paragraphs. Icons are placed like custom glyphs.

  Now, the last line with C2, 9, 14,... is the target of this post. They are buses of London and I created a paragraph with another icon. The copy that I work with unfortunately is as you see. Buses will follow «;»

  Resulting to place a \r after the semicolon and assign the new paragraph style. The item to work with is (probably) the last "," before the registration of the bus. All entries have it in the same way, where a search/replace global grep should work fine.

  My attempts:

  I used of a previous debate (? < =------;)) [^ ;] + $ to match everything from the end until the last semicolon, but then I found the problem preserving the matched characters and placing \r (using the (? < =-;). start at the beginning and stops at each point comma + space)

  So question: how to stop at the first semicolon at the end and replace the space with \r to create a new paragraph?

  Then, it is two question :-)

  From my previous attempts, I noticed that when you replace the semicolon + space with \r, and change the style of paragraph at a time (from Rail to Bus) caused the Rail paragraph style change (logic) to the style of Bus. So I tried to say the paragraph style of the track "Following paragraph Style is style of Bus" (and not to change the paragraph style in find/replace), but in a way that no longer works.

  Second question is: given to split the find/replace in two steps, how then transform / apply to newly created paragraph the correct style of Bus?

  Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance. So far, the community has been great!

• Find/replace the numbers?

  I like very much all my numbers in small caps, but always manually go through and change them all. Can I find/replace all numbers with a number of small capitals? CS3/Mac

  You can do this by using a GREP.

  1. go in the tab GREP in the FInd\Change dialog box find it what field type in \d

  2. in article Format change click on the empty area and in the dialog box that opens, go to the tab "Basic character Formats" and chose small caps of the case drop down. OK to the dialog box

  3. change all

• [win] [js] [cs4] find/replace the paragraph styles without losing the replacements the

  Hi guys I need some help here.

  I created a javascript script that will find and replace paragraph styles for the DOCFILE with indesign paragraph styles. everything works fine but the problem is that, when she applies paragraph styles, he loses all replacements the. I tried:
  
  changetext (false);
  
  but his does not work, this is a kind of conditional parameter that I can put in the function changetext() so that it used clear local overrides?

  Thank you.

  Use findGrep() (or findText()) instead of changeText(). This returns an array of items found. Then, you can loop through the array and apply a paragraph style without erasing the replacements (the 2nd parameter must be false).

  Example:

  Main();
  
  function Main() {
      var foundItem;
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
      app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "Body text";
  
      var foundItems = doc.findGrep();
  
      for (var i = 0; i < foundItems.length; i++) {
          foundItem = foundItems[i];
          foundItem.applyParagraphStyle(doc.paragraphStyles.item("Body"), false);
      }
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  }
  

• can I find/replace the leader tab character?

  I have a Word document that I'm slope in ID and there are a lot of different tab with the leaders of the dot stops. The dot leaders are a simple point, but I want not a 'space-point' in order to spread them out more.

  I can't understand how to find a tab with a character specific point leader and change to another - if it was a uniform set of rules of text I want to make a Style with what I wanted and find/replace all, the problem is, is that there are a few pieces of text with two tabs three and four as well as "BOLD" and regularly mixed in so I have to make a Style for all versions of tab stops and it's longer than I want to take with it.

  So, is it possible to change only the leader? What is Grep something?

  TIA

  I think that may have to be scripted?

  However, you can do a search for "^ t".

  And increase the tracking/kerning in the change format (200 should do)

  Maybe do a replace/find so you can't change something unexpectedly.

• I'm looking for links Hypertext in find/replace the dialogue (without applying a character style).

  I have 7000 hyperlinks in my document, with different character styles ("italic", "bold" and "italic +"BOLD""). I need to apply the blue color to each of them. If I ask a new character style "hyperlink" to all, I'll lose my formatting.

  Is there a way to find hyperlinks (for themselves, not their format) dialog find/replace in order to create and apply 4 different character styles ('hyperlink_regular', 'hyperlink_bold', 'hyperlink_italic' and ' hyperlink_bold + italic")?

  Sorry for my English, thanks for the help!

  Use Javascript!

  You can use this Javascript, for example. (Instructions on how to use a JavaScript in InDesign can be found elsewhere).

  blue = app.activeDocument.swatches.item("Blue");

• REPLACING THE CHARACTER FROM THE RIGHT.

  Hey everybody,

  The replace() function replaces a character "." from the left by default.

  var txt:String = "2.5.";

  
  

  If (txt.indexOf(".") == 1) / / aid (txt.lastIndexOf(".") == 1) does nothing.

  {

  txt = txt.replace(".","");

  trace (txt); 25.

  }

  There must be a simple method to replace "." from the right so that the vectorised result is "2.5".

  If the point is always the last tank:

  txt = txt.replace (/ \. $/, "");

• Find/replace a character between 'any number'

  Greetings

  I'm working on a long document in Norwegian that contains many numbers with decimal places, like this: 45.3

  However, in Norwegian, is the correct way of separation of decimals with a comma, like this: 45.3

  What is the best way to find and modify all instances of this?

  I tried a text search using ^ 9. ^ 9 (any digit. any number) who works in a way. The problem changes the results so that I keep the numbers, but change the period to a comma.

  Obviously I can't just look for a period, because they are everywhere...

  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

  Hey!

  You can do it with GREP find change:

  

  Hope that helps.

• How to find "font family" in the character Panel?

  I'm sure this used to be the "failure." I'm having a problem that, when I use the character Panel to search for a particular font family, I am obliged instead to apply a font as well as the family of fonts (see image).

  

  As you can see above, I'm looking for "Cambria". I don't want to make my choice, but only the font Cambria one family bold or italics (or any other font). I don't know I used to be able to do this and the font of the selection have been preserved (so that the fat remained "BOLD", remained regular regular, etc., provided these fonts exist within the family of fonts), but for the life of me I can't find the option to change and no amount of research has turned up of everything related.

  Can someone help me?

  Well, after you have selected the options that don't seem not related, it seems that I stumbled across the solution. Rather than keep to myself and go, I'll post it here in case a person always has the same question.

  

  As seen here, I changed the option "search first word only." Then allows me to search only the font family:

• GREP does not not in the first word of a paragraph. What's wrong?

  I'm having a small problem using GREP in a paragraph style. It does not apply the requested character style if the word is in the first paragraph. This is the condition:

  ( ? i) Data: | Description: | Hora. Monday: | Information: | Local: | No site. Object. OBS.: | Telefone. Type:

  
  

  Nobody knows why, in what's happening?

  Maybe every other word that data must leave a space in front of her to match.

• Do find/replace multiple records at the same time?

  Hello

  I wonder if there is a way to apply the options find/replace, I select all the records that I have given merged in my InDesign file.

  Reserved spaces will not import my database spaces, example if I

  Model InDesign: < < bird > >

  < < beak > > < < beak value > >

  .csv:                              bird's beak,,, value of beak

  Eagle, beak:, Hung

  I get

  InDesign after the merger of data: Eagle

  beak: hung

  No spaces came with the merger.  If there is an option to preserve the spaces, it would be the simplest solution. However, I'm not finding such a command, so I would like to add a special character after my colon in the .csv and then use ID to find/replace this character in each of my files in a space or two.  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Edit: even on a single record, find/replace is not applied to my output document, either... Its release the special character that I wrote in the fields of .csv instead of space, it is supposed to transform.

  Yes.

  Make sure that you set the scope of the search and replace of the Document. He may have missed the selection or history.
