Remove empty lines Datamerge

After the merger of a csv file that has empty fields for different data of the objects I have blank lines in my document merged - he leans on envelopes. So, here's what the data looks like when it is merged

NAME

< blank line - carriage return >

Address

City, State Zip

Y at - it a command GREP that flipping through the pages of 2000 and will remove this empty cart/line back and pull up the rest of the text?

I looked everywhere and have not yet find and commands GREP that will do it. I have a book on GREP this weekend.

The remove blank lines option works (if they are really empty), and it's probably OK for this application. The problem is that it screw up paragraph styles, so it can be a disaster if you need to use styles for something like a Table of contents.

There is a very long thread at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5866698#5866698 you might find interesting. During the discussion, Uwe Laubender worked on a script that removes the markers of merge field, and then blank lines and another for screwing the individual images in a single story, if you need to do.

  • Remove empty lines in the merged table

    I'm looking for a script that will find and remove empty lines from a table that contains fields of fusion.

    I have a table of data with about 800 cases. This table is used to merge a page report which shows the various components of the employee's income. There are about 20 lines in the table and 5 columns. I apply the merge fields to a table in my .indd file and merging works perfectly. However, there are several features/components of income who share not all employees. Therefore, all pages of the 800-page report contains several blank lines should I have deleted so that the remaining data lines to snuggle up to each other.

    I need a script that will find blank lines in an .indd table and delete them. I found the script that did this and works perfectly on an ordinary table with blank lines. However, it seems that a table cell that contains a merge field (< < myField > >) is not necessarily 'empty', even if the data in this field is Null. I found that after the merger, I can highlight a blank line, press DELETE, run the script, and the line disappears, as needed. But it manually thousands of times would frustrate the purpose of the script. Also note that I've rubbed my data file to ensure that no hidden formulas, characters or spaces. The "Remove blank lines for empty fields" option does not work on the fields in the table (it seems to me. If I'm wrong, let me know).

    It seems that I really need script which will remove references to empty merge fields after the merger. I could run and then my other script.

    I have spent hours on this and hope someone can point me in the direction of a solution.

    Thank you!

    You can remove the markers of merge field by doing a search and replace of TEXT PLAIN for and replace it with nothing. That should allow your script to work.

  • How to remove empty lines of chain between the relevant data?

    I have problems with the removal of empty lines of final my data output string.  I know this is simple to do, but I'm stuck in the same train of thought.  The file is a converted hex file that is written in a series of recordings.  Convert lines it is result in fa all that data should be deleted and the number of records adjusted accordingly.  I have the code to take the file, convert, delete all of the records with F and adjust the number of files, but I'm left with a gap in my file no matter my approach I can't remove the empty spaces regularly.  I have attached the file with spaces and the goal is to remove the spaces between the blocks of code, and spaces is not always in the same direction.  Thanks for any help.  If needed I can join the code I already developed if necessary.

    Darrick

    You can read the file line by line and write back only if the length of the string <> 0.  (or maybe <> 1 in the case of the character line appears in the string to a blank line.)

    However, there is probably a way to change the code you have now so that he does not write blank lines.  Without seeing the code, it is difficult to help.

  • Remove empty line in Selectonechoice

    In my LOV I get currently a first blank line before the 2 points in the LOV and the default value is empty. I need the default to be the first item in the list and do not want the empty line.

    My lov looks like this-

    < af:selectOneChoice id = "soc1" simple = 'true '.

    autoSubmit = 'true '.

    value = "#{pageFlowScope.Bean.var}" >

    < af:selectItem label = "first" value = "First" id = "si1" / > "

    "< af:selectItem label =" Second"value =" Second "id ="si1"/ >

    < / af:selectOneChoice >

    I can't use label not selected because that would give me an extra row in the LOV I want.

    I can't set value = 'first' I need the features as it is implemented now gets the current value selected by the user from the value field and I can't change that.

    Any suggestions?

    If this has been answered on another post, please point me in the right direction and accept my apologies!

    Hello

    The simplest thing would be to use LTRIM. (or TRIM, if you need to remove them from the end of the string, as well).

    If you want a regular expression:

    SELECT     REGEXP_REPLACE ( tester
                     , '(^|' || CHR (10) || ')' || CHR (10) || '+'
                     , '\1'
                     )
    FROM     test_tab
    ;
    

    This might be easier to understand if you do x stand for CHR (10):

    SELECT     REGEXP_REPLACE ( tester
                     , '(^|x)x+'
                     , '\1'
                     )
    FROM     test_tab
    ;
    

    It's easier to understand: \1 is either the beginning of the string or x. When it comes to imeediately followed by x 1 or more additional, then replace the entire model with \1 (in other words, remove the additional x).

  • Avoid writing empty lines or remove the empty string between data lines

    Hello

    I have this problem...  I write as a 4 x 4 witch table comes from a graph of intensity in a file. But when I write, regardless of the method that I use out it somehow unusable when I try to read more later.

    Right now I got change for a 1 x 16 table witch I later convert back to 4 x 4 again shown in the graph of the intensity.

    The problem is that I have empty lines between the data I want to remove to display correctly.

    Maybe to be clear in my explanation I will post screenshots of how I write and how I like to read...

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you!

    Why do you use a loop to create a string to write to the file? In LabVIEW 8.x writing on a spreadsheet file is polymorphic, so you can select the instance of 'Double' and simply connect your table 2D directly to it, without a loop or anything like that. On playback, even select the instance 'Double' for your return values exactly as you wrote them.

  • Button to remove all empty lines

    I am trying to create an interactive form that has a button that adds lines for the user to enter questions and another to add follow-ups to the authorities. There are 3 different sets of these. However, we do not want to add a button to remove all lines, in order to allow the accidental deletion of data already entered.  I would like to create a button that deletes all empty lines, including all subforms.  Either that, or to save the document, would be deleted all empty lines - depending on what would be easier. Help, please!  It seems that this will be a complicated task and I'm not well versed in LiveCycle to figure this on my own.

  • iOS 10 calendar widget shows empty lines

    IOS10 running on an iPhone 5s.

    Occasionally (not always), the calendar widget will display blank lines instead of the tests.

    for example, there could be 2 tests and 1 bday to show, but the widget will show 2 empty lines and a 3rd with just the icon bday, but no text event in one of them.

    3 empty lines reproduced above, match 3 events in 3 different calendars.

    I noticed that if I try to type in the focus area (just make it appear) and make disappear immediately, the widget will not re - make and events text will display correctly.

    Anyone else seen this?

    Hi 0 - ing.

    Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

    It seems that your calendar widget does not display the text of your events at the start. Let's try some troubleshooting to see if we can dispel this behavior.

    First of all, restart your iPhone If you have not already -restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

    Next, try to remove and re-add the widget calendar-using the Widgets on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

    Sincerely.

  • remove the line spacing of a string

    In the attached VI, I expected my output to a long chain, but instead, it's a chain with what looks like inserted line breaks. This is my output looks like:

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    and what I want is:

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    Is there an easy way to remove the line breaks?

    Thank you

    Just do a "find and replace String" with LF as search string, empty string (or probably a space if necessary) as string to replace and replace all instances set to true.

    Hope this helps

  • Table of contents with empty lines at the end

    Hi all

    I need to get rid of these annoying two empty lines at the end of any table of contents.

    Is it possible to prevent them from getting inserted? Or remove automatically after the update?

    This is crucial for me, because the text box (for OCD) adjusts its height automatically to the content (line numbers)!

    Thank you.

    concerning

    Achim

    In my view, this is a bug. And I have pointed out. But it has not been fixed in versions a little.

    My problem with him is if I delete the extra return, it comes at the time when I update the table of contents. And if I have the framework contract to the exact size of the TOC shortened I get an overflow when I update. And I HATE to send anything with an overflow.
