Reformatting of files in Dreamweaver: series of files (search and replace) .dwr batch consecutively

I have to do a reformat complicated of an entire site. It is simplified to a series of search and replace tasks for each file. Each search and replace string was recorded in a .dwr file. Currently, I load and run each .dwr file.

How batch or automate this task in Dreamweaver? In other words, a series of files .dwr to consecutively run the tail?

OK, here we go.

This example, a simple command of Dreamweaver Extension, run two find and replace commands in a go. (It can be any number of commands find and replace).

The first command replaces 'the' and 'this' "phe" and "phis". The second paragraph command replaces

    ...
    ...
. (These can of course be all find and replace.)

You need two files: an HTML file (for the UI) and a Javascript file (for actions). I named the 'Find and replace Test.html' and 'find and replace Test.js. (They can be any name).

Find and replace the file Test.html




Find and Replace Test



 

Are you sure?

Find and replace Test.js

function canAcceptCommand() {
    return true;
}

function commandButtons() {
    return new Array("Go!", "doIt()", "Cancel", "window.close()");
}

function doIt() {
    dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
        searchString: "th(e|is)",
        replaceString: "ph$1",
        searchWhat: "document",
        searchSource: true,
        useRegularExpressions: true
    });
    dreamweaver.replaceAll();

    dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace({
        searchString: "<(/?)ul>",
        replaceString: "<$1ol>",
        searchWhat: "document",
        searchSource: true,
        useRegularExpressions: true
    });
    dreamweaver.replaceAll();

    window.close();
}

Basically, you can call any number of this pair of functions in the script:

dreamweaver.setUpFindReplace(findAndReplaceObject);
dreamweaver.replaceAll();

Place these JS and HTML files in this directory:

Application Dreamweaver/Configuration/Commands Directory.

Then in Dreamweaver, open the window "insert." (You need to open an HTML file in order to make the active insertion window.) Above the insertion window, there is a drop down category ("Common" etc.). Do alt + click (ctrl + click) - then you'll see a 'Reload Extenesions' element at the bottom of the drop-down list. This will load this extension of DW. (Alternatively, you can restart DW to load the extension.)

It is now ready to run the Extension. Open an HTML document that you want to change. Go to the 'orders' in the menu bar. At the bottom of the drop-down list, there is an article "find and replace Test." Select and enjoy

  • File save to preserve search and replace queries when reinstalling?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall CS6. I have a large number in search and replace queries that would be extremely difficult to redefine. How do I save these as well as other features such as the areas of work or Actions in PhotoShop?

    Your saved queries find/replace are in a folder in your library to the user or the user's profile (depending on your operating system). You can find the path to where they are stored in the information provided for the InDesign Defaults file to replace your preferences. The folder queries saved is in the same folder as the InDesign Defaults file. Note that this is a HIDDEN on all recent operating systems folder.

    There was also a case of workspaces in the same place for ID. Similar records should be found for other programs under their respective application folders to the same location of the user's library/profile.

  • Search and replace in files

    Behavior of the interrogator:

    I learned to click Save (or save everything) before attempting to search and replace in files: somehow the HR application can't handle "the currently open section" and I repeatedly got stuck in an infinite loop of the contextual dialog "this file has been modified outside the multi-fichiers (sic, old term) find and replace.» You want to reload the file? "- and it does not matter whether I click Yes (or maybe that's not serious, but I don't know the terms of Yes and no).

    It's frustrating, especially when he's stuck on a single file. After dozens of clicks. I get a popup of RoboHelp HTML (with a red ringed X) which States that "the parameter is incorrect.

    Second, maybe it's my imagination, but there was to be a rocking this user activated (de) select all... and this ability seems to be lost: if I want to limit my edit 'multifile' to tell the 3 files, I need to manually disable all other 500 topics that I don't want to change. Sorry, but I don't have a folder structure that allows me to limit my search in a folder... and reorganize the existing entries will destroy... the table of contents, the see also of hyperlinks, etc.

    Thirdly, the ability to drag the subjects of the list of topics in the current page to create a hypertext link seems to have disappeared. Maybe I dream here, as well, because the list of topics and the current page were not visible at the same time (in a previous version of HR); However, I have to are used to the click and drag the ability for the creation of hypertext links to other topics and I don't understand why it works in some cases (list of projects, TOC) but does not work for the list of topics.

    This is perhaps a few referrals, or maybe someone knows some tips of use that I am not aware... Can anyone offer insight?

    Hello

    To avoid the message about the file being modified, close everything in the editor before you start find and replace operations. The message is produced because you have the aforementioned subjects to open in the editor.

    As you mention "search and replace in files", I assume you are referring to version 8. I just opened version 8 and carried out a search and replace to confirm. There is a button allowing you to cancel all.

    By clicking and dragging to create a link, it never worked that way. You can just drag from the pod to the list of topics to do. But you can leave the pod project manager. Perhaps you should consider submitting a form wishes to request the ability to drag and drop the pod of the list of subjects to create links.

    As far as rearrange your subjects in different folders, as long as you do from within RoboHelp you shouldn't be destroying all the links. RoboHelp updates the references for you when you move things. The only question is if you automatically create the structure of your table of contents based on the structure of the project. But usually it's a one time shot. From there to the front, you just handle things by using the table of contents Editor.

    Hope this helps... Rick

    I use ASP.net for backend coding, I use PHP. If you want to stay with Microsoft technologies, and then you would like to use ASP.net. and a Microsoft server.

    When you have a Web site that contains many pages with similar content structure, the practice is to store all content and all variables in a database. It is possible to create a site that has hundreds of 'pages', with many variations in the pages, so they don't all look like clones, and yet all this might be based on a single web page. A website as Amazon.com has millions of 'pages', but may actually have only a dozen basic page structures.

    Convert what you now have a system like this would be a fair amount of work, but it's the way to go now.

    Peter Spier It turns out that the screen resolution is the issue. A friend mentioned that Illustrator has problems with greater than a certain number of screen resolutions. I had recently changed my screen resolution and forgotten. So, Yes, it is preferable to keep the resolution of the screen down in order to keep the Adobe products to act weird. Mine is of the order of 1400 now.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Rename files using find and replace

    Is it possible to rename the files in LR CC to aid search and replace? For example, I would like to rename all selected photos by replacing the IMG_ by ABC_ string. It is such a basic need that I can't believe that LR does not support.

    LR filename + original number would almost be an acceptable substitute, but it fails if the file name is IMG_9999_HDR because Adobe assumes that the number of original file is always the last string in the name of the file and fails to find the number if is not at the end.
