• HR 11: Search and replace in files: options are grayed out

  Hi all

  I wanted to just replace a string in my HR project. Using the "Find and replace in files" dialog box, the Option "ignore HTML tags" is gray.

  Even if I create a new empty project: the same problem.

  Is this Option is generally not available in RH11 or what is the trigger for the Option out of gray?

  Sorry if I don't hit the English terminology in HR, I use the German Version...

  Kind regards

• 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.

• 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

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
       
  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

  Notes

  • This example is configured to perform the search and replace on the active document. You can change the scope to the whole of the site, or the files selected, etc., as in the dialog box find and replace. The doc of the API is here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed a.html
  • You can use dreamweaver.setUpComplexFindReplace (xmlQueryString) command instead. xmlQueryString is essentially ... in your .dwr file, you can copy files .dwr. However xmlQueryString must be a continuous string (no line breaks), which can be a pain in the doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/apiref/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f9e09bcf-7ed 9 html

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

• GREP: date/time search and replace

  Hello world

  I frequently import XML files into InDesign. The XML structure always contains the following, among others:

  start date

  start time

  end date

  end time

  For example, it looks like this:

  21.08.2013

  09:00

  25.08.2013

  18:00

  Now, I need to reorder these fields in a single line, like this:

  21.08.2013, 25.08.2013, 09:00-18:00

  I already found a way to do it through GREP, but I need to go one step further:

  If the "start date" and "end date" is the same (for example, both are "21.08.2013"), I would like to move the "end date" in the output. It should look like this:

  21.08.2013, 09:00 - 18:00

  Is it possible to do it through GREP?

  Thanks in advance!

  This will do

• Multiple search and replace missing.

  I had a search on the forums and cannot find a similar thread so forgive me if this is already there or there's a blinding problem.

  I recently installed RH8 and am in the process of upgrading our current 20 or so other authors to RH8 of RH5. However, I was unable to find multi-fichiers find and replace tool. I opened the box pod tool, and there is a list of tools, neither of which is the multi file find and replace.

  I know there are other search and replace tools/software out there but our platform is variable with air and it's a real pain to downloaded software.

  So my question is should be there the old find multi-fichiers and replace in the Toolbox pod and if it should be there, how can I get it?

  I re-installed RH8 etc to see if it was a problem, but it made no difference.

  It's just an executable file. OK, you will need to ensure it has been installed on each PC RH8 but then you could just add to your Toolbox pod while it was still available because he was with RHX5. Just a thought.

  You don't need an advanced find and replace for it.

  In the search box, press, then space.

  Then click Find and replace and find until you are finished.

• Search and replace the string formatting

  Hello

  I try to do a search and replace the formatting of a string.

  In the example, I'm looking for the string 'SUCCESSFUL', but it must also begin by usbflash and some number + PASSED.

  I can't get the format to have a number between 1 and 99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].

  Make a right-click on the function search and replace the string.  There is an option to use regular Expressions.  Then give it a try.

  

  EDIT: You need to set the entry replace all to TRUE.

• Search and replace, unadulterated second character?

  I'm doing a VI that communicates with an external device via a protocol consisting of images. I made a couple of subVIs that put these images together as hexadecimal strings which are then converted into numbers and passed to the device. The protocol uses an escape character to avoid sending a constant BOF or EOF at the wrong time. I did a Subvi, which is supposed to do this by using the search and replace. Initially, it looks quite elegant, but it has a fatal flaw, if one of the characters it is supposed to hide is written on the edge of a byte, it will always be replaced.

  Example:

  11 01 00 CE 0D 05 08 EA

  is replaced by

  11 01 00 05 08 EA 0D E7

  C0, C1, 7 d are the characters to replace, the 7 d is the escape character.

  Now I wonder, is it possible to do a search and replace function search only every second character in a string?

  Hi Tzench,

  Why you do not work with numbers of converts? It should be easier (and safer) to replace some U8 values instead of search (errors) & replace in a string...

  You should also be careful when you give examples. So in your example, the "hex" number is separated by spaces, search & replace should not create problems with "byte-border '!

• RegExp search and replace, keep the formatting of the original text

  Hello!

  Will have to perform the Search and replace within a framework of text using RegExp.

  And to retain the original formatting of the text block.

  How is it possible?

  Bad example-, it converts all the text formatting to the format of the first character:

  var reg = /a/gmi;
  var replacer = '*';
  var fr = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
  fr.contents = fr.contents.replace (reg , replacer);
  

  

  Thank you!

  I has not yet been tested your code.

  But why you did not play with my code snippet, use something like this:

  // regex_changeContentsOfWordOrString_RemainFormatting.jsx
  // regards pixxxel schubser
  var s = /arguments/gi;
  var replacer = "other string", result;
  var atf = activeDocument.textFrames[0];
  
  while (result = s.exec(atf.contents)) {
      try {
          aCon = atf.characters[result.index];
          aCon.length = result[0].length;
          aCon.contents = replacer;
          } catch (e) {};
      }

• GREP: Search and replace

  Does anyone know if its possible to take a list (shown on the lower part of the image) and run a GREP search and replace to create the list of tabs (shown on the picture)?

  I know that the majority of it can be made with the regular search and replace: separate the first and last name; MD and MD #; Postal code and telephone number.

  What I was not able to understand is how to add a tab forward and backward the state abbreviations 2-digit, the Middle Initial, phone number and more important even if there is a way to add tabs in when there aren't the same amount of lines, such as the field of specialty.

  I know that I can use the GREP search and replace to add a tab before each paragraph back, then remove the tab where there are 2 paragraph after each game returns, then substituting a tab and a paragraph back to just a tab, together running all the rows in each set.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if there is anywhere I can learn more about GREP, I would love to learn it.

  Thank you
