Need help with GREP expressions

I know - KNOW - there is a way to do it, but keep my GREP expressions.

I want to add an em dash before any sentence that is in a paragraph style. So I obviously want the em dash to be in the 'start of the paragraph' location. Lack of keep all my GREP searches. Can anyone help?

Adobe of the 'start of the subsection' implementation is just a little off the coast of standard GREP (which, in itself, is less a set of hard and fast rules but rather as "guidelines"). Yes - you can Search for beginning of paragraph using plain ^, but you cannot use it with a replace operation.

The trick is to give something to look for in InDesign. Search

^.

(it's just - a wildcard just after the start of a paragraph). You don't want to lose the character it finds, so replace it with

~_$0

where the first 2 codes is your dash and the last 2 is 'the text together. This is your original found generic character!

Don't forget to put your paragraph style in the box of formatting to find.

Of workaround works around the failure of implementation, because indeed, you want to add something to an existing text. Unfortunately, another pretty standard GREP to search for empty paragraphs-^ $-does not work, because then you have no room for a wildcard... (and Yes, you pouvez use a hard return instead of code \r is first or last, but then it will not work at the beginning or at the end of the story). It's one of those things that I wish to see corrected with CS5.

[Edit] HA! Peter beat me to it, but he has made a typo. In addition, my story is longer.

  • Need help with regular expressions

    Hi all

    I need your help, because I have no ideas more...

    I have the following problem: in the column of the database table, I have the string with the names of files already uploaded to the database. For example: + File1_V01.txt +, + File1_v02.txt +, + File1_01_v01.txt +, etc. The string _vxx * + or _Vxx * + (non-case sensitive) represents the version of the file.

    Now the problem: I'll upload the file with the name + File1_v02.txt + (already exists in the table).
    If the file name already exists in the table the pl/sql function should get the name of the file with the following version number. In my case it takes + File1_v03.txt +.

    Is it possible to do this using SELECT with regular expressions?

    Best regards and thanks!

  • Need help with regular Expression (RegEx)

    Try to wrap your head around a regular Expression for the following format example: 0022-C-4452 OR 0022-C-4452-C


    * The 4 digits are always numbers

    * The last 5 digits are alpha numeric

    * Last (if used) digit is always 'C' (in reference to the second structure)

    Hold the dashes for "auto fill" if possible? This would be in the Custom Format? Sequence of keys? Or Validation? I appreciate any help!

    I still think that you did not correctly describe your problem.

    1 figures of 4 characters.

    Optional separator.

    Then 6 alphanumeric characters and ' - '.

    OR

    1 figures of 4 characters.

    Optional separator.

    Then 6 alphanumeric characters and ' - '.

    Optional separator.

    Character 'C '.

    Note that the "-" is not a number and not an alphabetic character. It is a white space character.

    Try:

    function {MyRe (cString)
    var cFormatted = "";
    var RE_MyCode0 = /^(\d{4})[-.]) {0,1} ([A-Za-a0 - 9-] {6}) $/;

    cFormatted = RegExp. $1 + '-' + RegExp. $2 + '-' + RegExp. $3;
    }
    Return cFormatted;

  • Need help with GREP query-extract

    Hi people,

    I'm trying to harden a GREP query, I have reconstitute.

    This discovery channel allows me to search for text in the < ex > tags and remove the tags themselves. We then apply the Exchange my extract paragraph style field.

    ( ? s). (< ex > *) (.+?) (* < /ex >)

    What I need to do is add a blank line above and below the excerpt. In addition to the string?

    TIA

    Yes, by changing to \r$2\r

    BUT this text is already a paragraph? If this is the case, it would be preferable to add a space before and after as part of the style. If this isn't the case, I'm not sure that adding the returns in the same operation will not change the text from which it is extracted, then you want to find all first . +? change \r$0\r without change the formatting and then run that you now have to change the format on the excerpt.

  • Brochure... need help with GREP

    Hello people.

    I'm working on a brochure in InDesign (CS4). It is a brochure of jewelry with wholesale prices (W) and the suggested retail price (SRP).

    Unfortunately they have been entered backwards, through the entire document, then all wholesale prices appear suggested retail price and vice versa.

    Is there a way to use GREP to crawl through the document and return the price? I've attached a screenshot of the price line. The "BOLD" is a character style.

    Thanks for the tips!

    Screen Shot 2012-04-16 at 8.49.34 PM.png

    She worked here, so there's a good chance there is something different about what you typed in the price line and as I walked, and I think I see. I left out the colon after the SRP. Sorry about that.

    Try this way: (\d+(\.\d\d)*) (\(SRP\): \$)(\d+(\.\d\d)*)

    If it still does not respond, it's probably the spaces (there is an ordinary space before and after \(SRP) :) and you could use (\d+(\.\d\d)*)(\s\(SRP\):\s\$)(\d+(\.\d\d)*) that will pick up any sort of white space where there is a fixed width space or a tab.

    You don't even need regular expressions

    INSTR ( ',' || col1 || ','
      , ',' || col2 || ','
      )

    will be greater than 0 if (and only if) co12 is one of the elements of col1.

    If you're curious, a way of using regular expressions is

    REGEXP_LIKE ( col1
         , '(^|,)' || col_2 || '($|,)'
         )

    but it will be less effective than Instr.

  • I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    Hello
    I'm suddenly needing help with my browser Firefox (6.0.2)

    (OS: I use Windows XP).

    When I open the browser, I don't see is a totally white screen of white, with all the toolbars at the top.

    I know that my physical connections are very good: I have tested the modem, turned the pc market etc and I can also receive/send emails.

    This problem started today, September 8, 2011 and has never happened before.

    Is it a coincidence that Firefox itself to day before I disconnected yesterday evening? Could this be something to do with this particular new update?

    I also noticed that just before I "opened" Firefox, I now get a small box indicating:

    [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION]
    Handl exc in Ev: TypeError: this oRoot.enable is not a function

    This never appeared before - I hope that it offers a clue has what is wrong.

    The browser not be stuck in Mode safe, said by the way.

    Of course, I can't find solutions to the problem on the internet, I don't physically see all Web sites!
    (A friend sends this request in my name from their pc)

    Any light you can throw on this problem of confusion would be much appreciated. I'd rather not have to uninstall and reinstall Firefox if possible.

    If the only option is to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from your site, I'm also in trouble (I can not see the internet or download).
    In this case, would you be able to send the .exe file as an attachment to my e-mail address? In the affirmative, please let me know and I'll give you more details.

    Thanks in advance.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • I need help with an installation failure to interpret and troubleshoot a Setup log.

    Background: A few years ago, many editors of cinema used Final Cut Pro 6 (also contained in Final Cut Studio 2) for their editing projects.  Shared Apple Final Cut X uses a different format that is not compatible with FCP6.  Sometimes, these editors are called to work on a few historical projects that have been published in FCP6 and need this version to run now.

    Starting with OS X Lion, FCP6 would install not in Lion and thereafter.

    According research by Jeremy Johnston as noted on his blog, he discovered that Apple has inserted a file in the folder CoreServices in the Library folder of the system folder that causes versions the version Final Cut Pro X (and other older Apple programs in the same situation) do not settle.  He suggested changes to this file that would seek to prevent interfering with the installation of FCP6 in Lion, many users of final cut PRO 6 were successful in their efforts to install in Lion and work with it.

    Later in a discussion update on installing FCP6 in Mavericks, HawaiianHippie determined that the simplest way to perform the installation of FCP6 was simply copy this file and remove it from the system folder, install FCP6 and then restore the copied file:

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/26309669#26309669

    I used this method with success to install FCS2 in Yosemite:

    [click on images to enlarge]

    However, in my attempts to install FCS2 in El Capitan, it fails in the last 5% to install the first DVD:

    First of all, I need advice on how to display an extremely large Setup log in this thread (on MacRumors, it is a method to insert a 'code' in a small box that can be the object of a scrollbar if necessary to read all along).  I am unable to find such a method to post here.

    Then once approved, I need help to determine which component is causing the installation to fail and perhaps this element can be omitted from the installation:

    If this element is not required, then maybe FCP6 can be installed successfully without it.  And if that omitted element is necessary, perhaps a manual method to install it can be determined by pacifists.

    It is my goal to help those who need to install and use FCP6 on their new Macs running El Capitan.

    Here is the post on MacRumors with pre-installed Setup log:
