• [win] [js] [cs4] find/replace the paragraph styles without losing the replacements the

  Hi guys I need some help here.

  I created a javascript script that will find and replace paragraph styles for the DOCFILE with indesign paragraph styles. everything works fine but the problem is that, when she applies paragraph styles, he loses all replacements the. I tried:
  
  changetext (false);
  
  but his does not work, this is a kind of conditional parameter that I can put in the function changetext() so that it used clear local overrides?

  Thank you.

  Use findGrep() (or findText()) instead of changeText(). This returns an array of items found. Then, you can loop through the array and apply a paragraph style without erasing the replacements (the 2nd parameter must be false).

  Example:

  Main();
  
  function Main() {
      var foundItem;
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
      app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "Body text";
  
      var foundItems = doc.findGrep();
  
      for (var i = 0; i < foundItems.length; i++) {
          foundItem = foundItems[i];
          foundItem.applyParagraphStyle(doc.paragraphStyles.item("Body"), false);
      }
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  }
  

• Script of the current paragraph style

  Can someone tell me what is the code to return the paragraph style for the current position of the cursor.

  Also I can I ask something to the current paragraph is not using paragraph styles.

  For example, what would be the code to "make the current text of paragraph Red.

  Help would be much appreciated as we see questions that I'm a complete Newbie in scripting.

  if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length === 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
       // return the paragraph style for the current cursor position
       alert("Paragraph style: " + app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name);

       app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].fillColor = "C=15 M=100 Y=100 K=0";

• Script to create an example of each paragraph Style?

  Hi all

  Has anyone seen a script that generates an example of all the paragraph styles that are loaded into a document (the name of actual paragraph style as style would be a plus)?

  I have a script to export all paragraph style settings, but it would be nice to show all my co-workers who are preparing to move to INDD what each style looks like actually. It would also eliminate all duplicate with different names.

  Thanks in advance!

• script to duplicate the standard paragraph style, and then change the size of the character point

  I want to create a script that will create a cascade of paragraph based on the style settings [standard paragraph] styles. My goal is to point size of each new paragraph style character as a percentage of the original [standard paragraph]. So if [standard paragraph] is 100% (point character size 10pt), the script would create a paragraph style called 120% ' that has a point size of character of 12 points. Then 133%, 140%, and on and on. I modified a script found on this forum to generate these new styles, but I don't know how to be based on the [standard paragraph]. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

  current script:

  var doc = app.activeDocument,

  pStyle = ['100% ', '120% ', '133% '];

  for (var i = 0; i < pstyle.length; i ++)

  {

  If (pstyle [i] is "100 %")

  {

  doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: pstyle [i], appliedFont: 'Deer', pointSize:10});})

  }

  ElseIf (pstyle [i] == "120 %")

• import the grep styles in more than a paragraph style

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I have no experience in scripting. I do not create scripts, simply use the.

  I have a script that imports a paragraph style grep styles to another (in the same document). Whenever I use it, I have to change the script, captures the source paragraph styles and target in this piece of code:

  source = "origem";

  target = "alvo";

  What happens is that sometimes I need to do this lots of times (especially when the updating of old projects). Is it possible to import styles grep for more than a paragraph at the same time, listing multiple targets?

  Thank you!

  Sorry,

  the variable 'source' changed during execution of the script old th. Don't have a close enough look...

  Please replace:

  function setGrepStyle(){
  var target = arguments[0].toString();
  error = "";
   basePStyle = theDoc.paragraphStyles.item(source);
  if (!basePStyle.isValid) error = 'Source style does not exist';
   var target = theDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName(target);
   if (!target.isValid) error += '\rTarget style does not exist';
   if (error != ""){alert (error); exit()}
    gs = basePStyle.nestedGrepStyles;
   for (i = 0; i < gs.length; i++)
          target.nestedGrepStyles.add (gs[i].properties);
          }

• Copy paragraph styles between documents

  I have a document that contains a text I want to copy to another document. The original text is tagged with a paragraph called body style. If the document that I copy in already has a paragraph style called body defined, then when I copy the text in this document, he applies his body paragraph style to the text I copy in there. Is it possible to copy the text and maintain the style of the original document (replacing the paragraph style in the receiving document)?

  I use InDesign CS5.

  Thank you!

  You will reach your goal by simply using the Basic Edition > paste, but you should try to put it in a text box empty, the new. It keeps the appearance and will replace your body style, leaving a + next to him. I advise you to create a new style with this, but especially if you want to send later in print.

  If this isn't it, you can have applied character styles.

• application of paragraph styles

  Hi all

  play with a very simple script:

  mySel = app.selection[0];
  
  mySel.paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[0].paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = "myPStyle1";
  mySel.paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[-1].paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = "myPStyle2";
  mySel.paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[-2].paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = "myPStyle3";
  

  script applies myPStyle1 to paragraph style to a paragraph with the inserted text cursor, then in the next paragraph and then myPStyle2... I'm stuck here.

  Line 3 applies myPStyle3 to the first paragraph again, instead of expected next (3rd)...

  I thought that I can develop the sequence I need, but I can't?

  According to me, I have something very basic catch here...

  a tip?

  or another source, where are answered these questions silly?

  Thank you!

  This is not the right approach. It does that by accident.

  mysel.paragraphs [0] .insertionPoints are all insertion points in the current paragraph. Is there are 100 characters, then there are 101 insertPoints (on each side of each character). PointInsertion [0] is the left of the first character, [1] is to the right of the first character, [2] to the right of the 2nd character, etc. until [101] to the right of the last character.

  insertionPoints [-1] refers to the last PointInsertion, [101], which is actually after the paragraph itself, formats the following paragraph.

  insertionPoints-[2] refers to the 2nd to the last PointInsertion, [100], which is the left of the last character.

  I don't know what is the best way to deal with this. Maybe:

  mySel=app.selection[0];
  p = mySel.paragraphs[0]; p.appliedParagraphStyle="myPstyle1";
  p = p.insertionPoints[-1].paragraphs[0]; p.appliedParagraphStyle="myPstyle2";
  p = p.insertionPoints[-1].paragraphs[0]; p.appliedParagraphStyle="myPstyle3";
  ...
  

  I guess that the exact method depends on what you're trying to do.

• CS3: need script to replace spaces with underscores in the paragraph and character style names

  Help! I am very new to scripting.

  I managed to find and tweak existing javascripts to search through all my paragraph styles to disable hyphenation and off balance the jagged lines, but I need help with this one.

  I work on Mac OS 10.4.11 using Indesign CS3.

  I need a script that will search all my paragraph and character styles in my open Active document and replace spaces by underscores.

  Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

  1. I don't know, but I think you can use all the regular GREP inside this function codes. Do not use the quotation marks around of the expression, use slashes! (Why? Just a curiosity of Javascript... maybe a hack that goes back to the gray mist of JS development...)

  This work should - but rather the code above, this is not tested:

  .. Replace (/ [-\ / ()-. _] + / g. '_');

  The GOLD group inbetween the brackets contain all the characters you want to replace with an underscore: the hyphen (this has to be the first character in the group, else it will be interpreted as a range of characters from each side!), space, slash (this one is 'special' inside the function replace JavaScript, so I think he needs to escape with a backslash)! in parentheses, a period (not sure if it should escape - into ordinary GREP, it's the wildcard character for any character, but maybe he loses his magic within a group of GOLD) and finally... the underscore character. Why?

  Well, this replacement string comes with a free bonus. Note the sign after the installment of GOLD +. This means that a whole sequence of these characters is replaced by a simple underscore: "it's / a - / test" will become "This_is_a_test". Adding the underscore line itself to the string of research means that it will also find the whole chain 'space space (stroke underscore)' in 'This style (_)' and, oh magic!, replace it immediately with a single underscore.

  Just FYI, the tiny "g" after the closing slash is abbreviation of 'global', i.e. at the global level, replacing in this string. replace the default values for a replacement only (why? see above...), and adding the 'g' ensures he keeps replacing until it is not find matches more.

  2 see point 1.

  3. uh, yes it's true, but you will need to check very carefully if nothing inside one of these basic models is substituted. You can apply a base style and add substitutions to make look like a subtitle, but that isn't making it a. And to the next paragraph, you can apply a base style and add substitutions to make it look like a paragraph of plain text (etc.). It's a signature of witness to bad formatting...

• Scripts to insert metadata automatically to the document with the paragraph style

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to insert automatically the metadata in my document through paragraph style in indesign cs5.5.

  It comes to myDocument title, author name , and description of myDocument.

  Is there anyone who can help me with this project?

  Thank you.

  Place the script at the following location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Scripts\startup scripts

  If you close it document the script will automatically put the metadata in your indesign file (use ctrl + w or menu-> file-> the option close to close the file)

  Code:

  #targetengine session

  If you want to test the script for your active document, comment on the threshold of another, copy the script to your startup folder

  app.menuActions.itemByName ("Close").eventListeners.add ("beforeInvoke", function()

  {

  myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  var docTitleText ="";

  var docDescripText ="";

  app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '. +';

  found = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);

  for (j = found.length - 1; j > = 0; j-)

  {

  var foundText = .silence found [j];

  You can set several style of paragraph for the title of the Document

  if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.Name=="docTitle1")

  {

  docTitleText = found .silence [j];

  }

  of other if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name=="docTitle2")

  {

  docTitleText = docTitleText + "" + found .silence [j];

  }

  of other if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name=="docTitle3")

  {

  docTitleText = docTitleText + "" + found .silence [j];

  }

  You can define several paragraph of Description of Document style

  of other if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name=="docDescription1")

  {

  docDescripText = found .silence [j];

  }

  of other if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name=="docDescription2")

  {

  docDescripText = docDescripText + "" + found .silence [j];

  }

  of other if(found[j].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name=="docDescription3")

• GREP find/replace + paragraph Styles

  Hello

  I'm editing a long document and have benefited from the assistance of the community already, but being new GREP Style, find/replace, I need to ask for additional help.

  Below a screenshot of the script (original). Two blocks of text you see anticipated by the icons have have styles of different paragraphs. Icons are placed like custom glyphs.

  Now, the last line with C2, 9, 14,... is the target of this post. They are buses of London and I created a paragraph with another icon. The copy that I work with unfortunately is as you see. Buses will follow «;»

  Resulting to place a \r after the semicolon and assign the new paragraph style. The item to work with is (probably) the last "," before the registration of the bus. All entries have it in the same way, where a search/replace global grep should work fine.

  My attempts:

  I used of a previous debate (? < =------;)) [^ ;] + $ to match everything from the end until the last semicolon, but then I found the problem preserving the matched characters and placing \r (using the (? < =-;). start at the beginning and stops at each point comma + space)

  So question: how to stop at the first semicolon at the end and replace the space with \r to create a new paragraph?

  Then, it is two question :-)

  From my previous attempts, I noticed that when you replace the semicolon + space with \r, and change the style of paragraph at a time (from Rail to Bus) caused the Rail paragraph style change (logic) to the style of Bus. So I tried to say the paragraph style of the track "Following paragraph Style is style of Bus" (and not to change the paragraph style in find/replace), but in a way that no longer works.

  Second question is: given to split the find/replace in two steps, how then transform / apply to newly created paragraph the correct style of Bus?

  Thank you in advance for your valuable assistance. So far, the community has been great!
