InDesign GREP - add without changing character

• GREP query that changes character format

  I am trying to create a GREP query that finds an uppercase K surrounded by parentheses - like this: (K). I was able to do this, while in the GREP find what I \(K\)

  I need to change that to (K) with the letter K, changing to a different font or a character style; the bracket must remain in the same font as before, correspondents in the rest of the paragraph. I see that I can change the format in the dialog GREP, but if I do, it changes the format of the parenthesis as the K. The police that I need to change the K is a police photo.

  If anyone can help with a suggestion on this, I would really appreciate it.

  A small detail, I hope. I left out that the Lookbehind/advanced search functions are functions of Research , does not replace.

  The text to search for in the field of text GREP find, not in the regular discovery. Then, make sure you change for the field is empty - drag your mouse above and if you see something selected, press DELETE. Just because you put something in the change of Format, InDesign knows he should not replace the text with nothing, but apply to the formatting instead.

  It should look like this:

  

• Since the update Firefox 6.0, some websites do not load correctly. I suspect it has to do with the Java being disabled because of the compatability modules. When I try to go to Tools/Add-ons, I get the message "Loading" for several minutes without chang

  Update Firefox 6.0 is useless to me because many websites I visit are not displayed properly, I guess because the Java modules are disabled because of incompatibility. They appear correctly in Internet Explorer.

  In addition, the add-on from Trend Micro is not compatible, which leaves me with a positive feeling.

  When I try to check to see if these modules can be updated, the menu item Tools/Addons just goes to a page with "loading" and stays there for several minutes without change until I close it.

  I would like to know the procedure to regularize this version of Firefox to my previous version that worked.

  Firefox 5.0/5.0.1/4.0/4.0.1 and earlier 3.6.20 all contain questions of security and stability that will not be corrected. You put your system at risk by using any version of Firefox that 6.0 or 3.6.20. Any person who displays a link to other versions is to be irresponsible, in my opinion.

  Java
  
  If the incompatible extensions in Add-ons > Extensions are Java Console, you have no need them unless your doing Java development. Most of the users have not yet installed, but Java will install Java Console with each update. You can delete them manually:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions

  The only thing that affects the functioning of the sites/Java applets on the web is the plugin (Add-ons - > Plugins) "Java (TM) Platform SE (version)". Do not forget that it is enabled and that you have not all extensions which affect/block "scripts".

  • Check commonly used plugins: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
  • Update or install Java (aka, next generation Java plug-in for the Mozilla browsers): install or update Java in Firefox

  Trend Micro
  
  You must contact Trend Micro or go to the forums on their website to inquire about their plans to update the add-ons/toolbars they install in Firefox.

  Problem with the display of the Add-ons Manager
  
  The Add-ons Manager gets in a loop of loading due to the recent update of Firefox 6 and servers being overloaded because users and update process are looking for updates to the add-on. If you stay away from the "Get Add-ons" selection on the left of the screen of the add-on Manager, you should have no problem with that. This situation is expected to resolve when the overload of Firefox 6 update is complete. I do not always use this "Get Add-ons" option, instead, I go to the website of modules and the search for what I want from there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=clone & cat = all & x = 0 & y = 0

• Grep to add the tab character after the first character?

  Hello

  GREP assistants are able to help with a question?

  I am trying to add a tab character after the first character in line in a paragraph style. So, for example, I would like to a tab after the I, D, O and N in the following poem...

  Can Wincy spider climbed up the spout
  Down came the rain and swept away the spider
  Is out the Sun and dried up all the rain
  Now can Wincy spider went up the spout again

• InDesign GREP CC: Indication am Zeilenanfang erganzen

  Hallo zusammen,

  Wenn ich in Indesign CC mit nach GREP ' ^ ' (naturally ohne Anfuhrungszeichen) suche und als Anderungsausdruck 'blabla' eingebe, würde ich erwarten, dass vor jede Lutherischen der line "blabla" Favorites wird (naturally auch ohne Anfuhrungszeichen). Passiert aber nichts - see Screenshot.

  

  In meinen Texteditoren works dieser regulare Lutherischen aber in jedem fall. ICH mache was GREP please?

  Danke und Gruss

  Holger

  In InDesign GREP, you find something here to change it.

  trying to find ^.

  Replace by bla $ 0

  This will search the first character to your paragraph and replace it with blah , followed the found character. The net result is that blah is added to the front of the paragraph, and the found character remains.

  

• Add the tab character before the content of particular paragraph style

  I have to add the tab character before the content of particular paragraph style

  app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("IDX2");

  list = app.activeDocument.findText ();

  // 2. For each found the point...

  for (i = 0; i < list.length; i ++)

  {

  App.Select (list [i])

  App.Selection[0].insertionPoints[0].contents="\t".

  }

  But the code above only works in the first instance. But I must add the tab character all the content of the paragraph applied

  How to do this

  Hello

  Another way without GREP...

  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var myStories=doc.stories;
  var J= myStories.length;
  
  while( J-- ){
      var mStorie = myStories[J];
      var K= mStorie.paragraphs.length
      while( K-- ){
          if  (mStorie.paragraphs[K].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "toto") {

• Need a Grep Expression to change a space between braces.

  Hey all -

  I know that it must be ridiculously simple for someone who knows about Grep.

  I have a string of text between braces, like this:

  {namevalue = 'Firstname Lastname'}

  And I would like to add a special character or a word between the first and last name, so I can make some additional changes to the structure via find/replace.

  So, I would like to change to this example:

  {namevalue = "first name last name$ $$"} or this: {namevalue = "FirstnameKAPOWLastname"} or this: {namevalue = "Firstname12434Lastname"}

  You get the picture. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
  

  
  

  Like this:

  ({"Search: (\{namevalue=".+)? \s(?=.+? "\})

  Replace with: $1 @.

  (/ / start capture)

  \{NameValue=' / / literal {namevalue ="

  .+?                       followed by one or more of any character.

  ) / / end of capture

  \s / /... until the first space...

  (?=.+?" \}) {/ /... but only if followed by some characters ending by}

  It might be simpler-

  Search: (\{namevalue=".+?) \s

  Replace with: $1 @.

• Thunderbird freezes, it does not solve thunderfix. MosBackup do not restore or backup, I have deleated several emails without change

  I use Thunderbird for several years with no problems, while I can still receive/send emails, the program freezes. I tried 'Thunderfix' without change, Mozbackup stalls 'calculate the required space', also fails to restore the last backup or previous backups. I have reduced the number of e-mails, including mail, has also increased from 350 MB to 500 MB disk space. I also began with all addons turned off. It freezes again

  Does anyone have suggestions more?

  To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:

  • Restart Thunderbird with disabled modules (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click "restart with disabled modules. If Thunderbird works as usual, there is an add-on or theme interfere with normal operations. You will need to reactivate the modules one at a time until you locate the offender.
  • Restart the operating system in safe mode with network. This loads only the basics needed to start your computer while allowing Internet access. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX

  If the safe mode for the operating system to resolve the problem, there are other software on your computer that is causing problems. The possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as updates of the program.

• Clip name without changing the name of the original clip

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to name a clip without changing the name of the original clip.

  For example:

  I have a clip called D066_140825_001_AA1663, I need to keep. But I would add one more name in a different area.

  Ideally it should look like this:

  Name Description
  Erica D066_140825_001_AA1663 moves the couch
  Erica D066_140825_001_AA1664 is conducted

  Erica D066_140825_001_AA1665 and John encounter

  etc.

  I see that in the draft of the first window there is a line named Description. Is there a way for me to add a description of the clip of prelude, or appoint the clips in any other way?

  Hi SMOlsen,

  Please see the link below and check if it helps.

• How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  When I try it myself my gradient everything turns black.

  To add to the above, you can just set the angle. If you want to use other existing parameters, you need to get from the layer. The code in this other thread shows a way to get them.

  But if you do not have the values for any other reason, you can get the handle to the layer, make a duplicate of it with all the settings and just crush those you want to change.

  It is a way to just change the angle while keeping the other existing settings.

• Adding a preset to a photo already changed without changing the edit

  Check that "change artistic" preset only includes the necessary adjustments. If, for example, he

  should add a vignette effect, and then make sure that the preset does not include other settings such as exposure, because that will make the predefined substitution exposure carefully chosen in the beautiful clean version.
