Once again on alignment to the right reference numbers with GREP

For some jobs, I want the reference numbers in the notes align with the period that I have Options of IDCS4 reference Add (with an en space) as the separator between the number of note and the note text.  Not much so I set the paragraph style reference with a tab 'Match point' and then insert this tab at the beginning of the note.  I recently stumbled on this thread of 2009 where RodneyA that describes more in detail, and Eugene Tyson added a GREP search to automate the addition of tab: replace (~ F) with \t$1.

I can't get this to work in IDCS4.  It worked in earlier versions?  Earlier this year, Jongware explained that GREP can not replace a reference marker, only to watch in front of or behind the marker to replace anything.  Unfortunately, in my notes nothing before the marker reference of GREP replace until I manually put my tab there.  Addition of these tabs to hundreds of notes by hand is not if bad (jumping with Ctrl + arrow keys) and ID's of the propensity to consume a way occasionally note, I need to check all the same.  But I was mistaken in thinking that if I want to automate the addition of tabs I you do this via JSX?

Thank you

David

David, indicating when that you can't get something working, I must also tell you why

But when I tried your "replace (~ F) with \t$1 ' for me it became real obvious right away: the code ~ F is not only 'the footnote reference number' but also the note itself in the text. So, it all works in the sense that you get a tab before the code of reference number, you get loads of additional tabs in your text as a bonus.

There are several ways around this. The most obvious is to limit the operation replace all paragraphs in style with your reference style. If it is a single (mine is usually), it will work immediately. It is the first response of Eugene in the previous thread - possiblly you forgot to put this paragraph in the field Format style find.

Another way is to add a tab only when the code of reference number is the beginning of a line:

^ ~ F

replace it with

\t$0

(You're right noticing the trick 'postanalyse' cannot be reversed for an advanced search for just "opening of the line followed by the code of reference numbers". "It's the special flavor of an InDesign GREP Limitation).

This may fail if you have a note at the beginning of a paragraph

Still another way is to try to make use of the vertical position of the code reference number. If your references are superscript (which is fairly regularly) and the numbers in the notes themselves are not (that they may or may not be), you can search

~ F (+ position: normal)

and replace with himself more a tab before, as shown above. (A variation would be to use a style of character for referrals by exposing and seek [none] style to pick up those inside notes characters.)

  • Change the format of numbers with GREP?

    Hello

    I'm sure it's easy, but I just can't get my head around it.

    I have a large table in ID4. I need to change all the format of all the more than a thousand numbers.

    For example, 1234 becomes 1 234 and 12345 becomes 12 345, but it leaves all smaller numbers (IE up to three digits) that they are.

    I've tried a few things, but all fail to get the results I need

    Help!

    Maybe something like this:

    Search: (? )

    Change of: , $0

    Run several times to get everything changed.

  • Menus are aligned to the right

    For some reason, the drop down menus under Windows 7 (Enterprise edition) are all aligned to the right (normally aligned to the left). I have never seen this before, and it's all about a relatively new installation of Windows. See a screenshot: http://www.hostanyimage.com/files/51145352950874579372.png.

    After some googling, I tried to adjust HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuDropAlignment to different values, nothing helps. Any help? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    There are a few problems with this behavior. First of all, if you are clicking very near the right edge of the screen, the drop-down menus will appear left everything simply because there is not enough room on the right side of the menu.

    The other problem is that the parameter 'Handedness' has become corrupted or changed. To change this, follow these steps.

    Press the Windows key + R logo to bring up the run dialog box. In the Open line, copy / paste the following text line.

    Shell: {80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}

    Press OK.

    This will start the configuration of the Tablet PC settings dialog (even if you don't have a Tablet PC).

    Select the other tab.

    In the right-handed/left-handed section, place a check in the option Left Handed .

    Click OK.

    This should place the menus on the right side.

    Let us know the results.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Align to the right numeric field

    I'm trying to align to the right of the numeric fields in a table of results. I tried the two numbers and strings and cannot get the numbers to align to the right. I even wrote a method to manage alignment, and nothing works.

    in my table of results, I made the following

    in the controller class adds:

    on top
    Import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.table.OATableBean;
    Import oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataObjectList;

    within the existing class
    ' Public Sub processRequest (pageContext OAPageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    +{+
    super.processRequest (pageContext, webBean);

    OATableBean = tableBean
    (OATableBean) webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("*MyResultsTable*");

    tableBean.prepareForRendering (pageContext);

    DataObjectList myColumnFormats = tableBean.getColumnFormats ();

    field 1
    oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData = myFieldColumnFormat
    (oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData) myColumnFormats.getItem (pageContext.findChildIndex (tableBean, "* MyField *" "'));
    just do something with the area now...
    myFieldColumnFormat.put (CELL_NO_WRAP_FORMAT_KEY, Boolean.TRUE);

    After doing that, the number of 'My domain' field is shown just aligned.

    Please change MyResultsTable and MyField as you see in the browser of your object.

    If you need more of a field, please copy the section "/ / field 1" accordingly.

    Hope this helps

  • I lost the right scroll bar with the arrow on my monitor.

    I lost the right scroll bar with the arrow on my screen.  I also lost the clock on my toolbar at the bottom.

    Check the resolution of your screen. If you are using Windows 7, you can right click on your desktop and click on the screen resolution - make sure that the correct resolution for your monitor is selected.

    If it is a desktop computer with a monitor, you may also reset the default settings of the monitor using the menu key. Depending on your model, the steps will be something like those here.
