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.

  • 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.

  • How to remove a line in the database

    Hello

    I want to remove a line in the database... I used the (drag and drop the data control), delete operation when I push the button in the page it removes just in the session not on the database,

    This means that when I reload the session or I check line in the database, that I always find...

    I use jdeveloper 12.1.3.0.0 and business components.

    You must press the validate after the delete operation (from data controls drag / move validation operation).

    If you want to run Remove and validate the operation in a single action, in your page, you can add the button and in the action of the button write this code:

      public String DeleteAction()
      {
        OperationBinding operationBinding = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().getOperationBinding("Delete");
        operationBinding.execute();
    
        operationBinding = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().getOperationBinding("Commit");
        operationBinding.execute();
    
        return null;
      }
    

    Make sure that the "Delete" operation point to the desired pageDef VO. and don't forget that "Commit" operation existence in pageDef.

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0

    I have a table with facet detailstamp enabled. Each line is to have an arrow icon to expand this line.

    My problem is that line expand action seem to work independently with the selection of rows in the table. When I develop a line, it does not only rank as current. I tried with the code below to make the line of the current table, but could not do.
        public void makeCurrentRow(RowDisclosureEvent rowDisclosureEvent) {
            usersTable = (RichTable)(rowDisclosureEvent.getSource());        //usersTable is the binding of the table on the page
            RowKeySet discloseRowKeySet = usersTable.getDisclosedRowKeys();
            usersTable.setSelectedRowKeys(discloseRowKeySet);
    
            AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(usersTable);
        }
    Please let me how can know I do the table row under the current name on the expansion of this line.

    2. change the value inside elements of the af:inputText of columns.
    3. tap on restore.
    4. the values of the selected line remains the same.

    If I select another line, before the restore, the restore will work as expected.

    I want to when you press the button cancel the values of the selected row to be rollback-ed as well.

  • Small square boxes, which appear on empty lines (UPDATED) - the question is, how to get rid of them?

    As for my display name "all I tried were in use"-when I registered on the Adobe site to use the Lab browser, I tried something like 10 or 12 user names and finally gave up and is gone with ' all I tried were in use "-my name is Bob

    ------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------

    The problem, small square boxes showing on the lines Freetext tool reviews, is not limited to blank lines, as I originally reported here. These boxes are appearing at the end of each line. It does not matter whether or not the line break is hard or soft, if the line is empty.

    Please read the original message, taking into account the fact that the problem occurred at the end of all lines.

    Also - Here's a screenshot of part of a comment area, showing the square lines. I didn't show the entire box because the material above the area I'm showing is a tad private or confidential. Here is the picture showing the boxes - note that there is no box at the end of the last line in the comment.

    -Original message-

    We have a copy of Acrobat 5.0. and so far he has done what we need, which is not much more to add bookmarks, links, and some retouching. I know it is very old and I know that things are changing. I hope that this has nothing to do with the version we use. I think it is a problem of compatibility if this is a problem with the newer versions of PDFs with reader 'edition' with 5.0.

    I have small square boxes appear on empty lines. (read my update above -boxes are at the end of all lines, conditional jump or jump) )

    I'm a programmer (37 years and more and more aspects of the processing of data) and I decided to learn PHP programming "language" to add some treatment of some of my web sites on the server side. So, I found a pretty good php to PDF manual and would use.

    I quickly found that the PDF didn't have one link and no Favorites, so I've been adding them as I search for a particular topic. I am also add comments and notes to document things not in the original manual or add comments that would help other programmers (who know other languages) to fit like the PHPs think - for example: in all the other languages I know (perhaps two dozen) to get rid of a file, 'delete you '. In PHP "unlink you" it.

    I added a lot of comments and notes like that and when I view the PDF in Reader (on this computer I 9.4.2) I see little boxes square on empty lines. The lines were created when I pressed ENTER twice to insert a blank line between paragraphs. (again, read the update at the top of this message - boxes are at the end of all lines, conditional jump or jump)

    How can I get rid of them?

    They are not present when I open with Acrobat PDF, only when I use an Acrobat Reader.

    They are also not present if I look at the comments using the comments navigation panel - in other words, they always show on the page, but they do not show in the copy of the comment displayed in the navigation panel.

    They are not present in the Notes or when I use one of the shape tools (square, circle or line tool) to create notes. They are no longer present in the Comments of Freetext tool

    They clearly show where there is a line successive characters feed/carriage return - but how can I get rid of them?

    I JUST THOUGHT of SOMETHING - I realized that I had not printed the pages on which I placed the comments and I was wondering if the boxes appear when you print the PDF file with reader - they don't. They are not present if I use Acrobat, not a reader, to print the same page.

    You can provide any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Please don't tell me to get a newer version - an expense that is simply and completely out of the picture. For us, it is a depression, not a recession - we are independent and our businesses have been severely hammered since 2006 - we are at about 1/4 of our profit before the big players trashed the economy.

    P.S. Do you know that you can have a heart attack without pain in the chest, shortness of breath, or left arm pain? Well, you can! I had two and one almost killed me because I had no idea it was a heart attack. You can read about it here first one. Convey this, it could save a life.

    My second heart attack took place October 4, 20112 - he started, about 03:15, as did one, with a headache. It turns out the implanted stent in 2002 had been completely clogged by too many cultured tissue. The doctor put another stent inside one.

    Problem solved - it is a police problem. Apparently Acrobat cannot manage specific fonts and it is best to stick to a very small selection of font - Arial, Helvetica, Times Roman.

    I have not test a large number of fonts. If I do, I'll post there results here.

  • 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 a line in the user interface of the table of the adf

    I have a table of ADF, displaying the data I need to filter. Basically there is a column that indicates whether it should be displayed or not. Unfortunately, the query runs very inefficiently when a variable binding is applied on it. Therefore, I would like to return all the lines to the UI and then simply not display a line if it does not meet the criteria.

    Is there a way to do this? I looked at the table component, but I saw no way to get there.

    Thank you

    Hello

    the table does not allow you simple to hide the lines in this way. You wonder what makes the variable binding working slowly in your case. I think that adding a view criteria to the query that form you with a variable binding should run as fast as it does in SQL Plus.

  • 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

    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.
