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 the string in a column

Hello

In the table the data stored with "" (double quotes), I need to remove these quotes please suggest me how to remove

Hello

UPDATE to modify existing rows in a table
REPLACE to delete a given sub - a to a string.

UPDATE     tech_sourcing_employee_details
SET     address     = REPLACE (address, '"')
WHERE     INSTR (address, '"')         > 0          -- Maybe
;

This will remove all the quotes of the address.
If you want to remove the quotes only from the beginning and the end of the string, then use TRIM instead of REPLACE:

UPDATE     tech_sourcing_employee_details
SET     address     = TRIM ('"' FROM address)
WHERE     INSTR (address, '"')         > 0          -- Maybe
;

The WHERE clause is only for effectiveness.
So, whenever the column contains quotes, of the double quotation mark is always the first character in the string, then you can change the WHERE clause to:

WHERE     address  LIKE '"%'
{code}

Find and replace the string function replaces line breaks when I only replaced spaces?

I need to replace all instances of a space or a series of spaces to a line with commas (or tabs) multi string so I can throw in a worksheet.

I use the regular expression [\s]+ and it works, but it is also to replace the end of lines (\r\n) too.

How can I replace the spaces but leave the end of the lines intact?

Right-click on the search string and to take '-' code display. Enter the space character (\s) correctly - you \\s right now.

help with search and replace the script please

Hi all
I wrote a javascript that uses various find/change GREP and text to copy text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the head of the race and feet), and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do. If I was doing a search/replace manual (with nothing selected) it would automatically choose the first para in the first text box, but when I run the following:
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + $» ;
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo ="";
app.activeDocument.changeGrep ();
It is all the records and removes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to remove the first paragraph, then again to remove the other (first new) paragraph. My JS skills are weak, but I'm very uncomfortable with GREP. Can someone point me in the right direction for how I achieve what I want? If I made a loop for surely I would just do the same thing but more than once!
Much to my surprise the rest of the script works even if it hurts my brain!
Thanks for your suggestions,
Iain

The command 'changeGrep' is a 'change everything' - there is no equivalent of the buttons "change, following" and "find next".

Normally, all that is necessary is to remove the first paragraph of a story asset is the following:

myStory.paragraphs [0] .remove ();

(and I'm sure you can work, because you are already copying him) but just for fun, you can try this solution Pure GREP:

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\A.*\r";

Once again replacing it with nothing.

(It is preferable to use the function 'delete', however).

I can't seem to make the "search and replace string" works as expected.

The goal was to get the third token, 'leq_octave_5min '.

The result string is "leq_octave_5min", but the real result string is the input string itself.

What is the problem with my method?

I'm sorry.

I forgot to turn on 'regular expressions' in "Search and replace the String" VI.

After having turned it on, it works as expected.

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) {};
    }

Try it and have fun

How to search and replace only tag values XML and tag not the columns?
Hello

I'm new to xml db, and I have a scenario where I need to find and replace the xml content. The search is based on a clear text and not on any column.

I have a table as follows:

ID VARCHAR2 (32 BYTE),
MESSAGE_TYPE, VARCHAR2 (64 BYTE),
XMLTYPE OF the MESSAGE_CONTENT,
REJECTED_REASON VARCHAR2 (256 BYTE)

And XML in the form of the sample:

<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "US-ASCII"? >

I'm running the query of foll:

UPDATE t_xml D SET D.MESSAGE_CONTENT = replace (D.MESSAGE_CONTENT, "ABCD", "Chennai")
(WHERE d.MESSAGE_CONTENT.existsNode('//*[*="ABCD"]') = 1;

This works very well and replaces the two ABCD < DealerDestAddr > < / DealerDestAddr > and < DestAddr > ABCD < / DestAddr > tag values in Chennai. But the problem I encounter is if there is that a node with the name of the < ABCD > tag is also changed to < Chennai >. Please help me to fix this problem.

Kind regards
Sprightee
What happens if I need to select and update a node that has the value null. Who doesn't have any value to it.

You can test if the partner has a child text() node:
```
existsNode(
  d.message_content
, '/MessageEnvelope/Header[not(Partner/text())]'
, 'xmlns="http://www.groupecat.com/CLV2/MessageEnvelope/20120501"'
) = 1

HI Brendan,

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

In the search box, press, then space.

In the box replace by, press option-return.

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

Kind regards

Find and replace the delimited string value by the

Hi all
I have a requirement where I need to find and replace the delimited string values.
For example, the string is "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~FEB-13~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~". The 4th column gives the month and year. I need to replace it with the name of the previous month. For example: "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~JAN-13~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~". I need to do the same thing for the past 12 months.
I thought initially divide the values and store it in a variable and then after him substituting the value required, join the return.
I just wanted to know if there is a better way to do it?

Like this:

with a model like

(select "GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ FEB-13 ~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ $ ~ NULL ~' double UNION ALL data")

Select ' GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ JAN-13 ~ CREDIT ~ A ~ N ~ US ~ NULL ~' double data)

Select

REPLACE (DATA, TO_CHAR (to_date (substr (data, 16.6), "MON-RRRR"), 'MON - RR'), TO_CHAR (to_date (substr (data, 16.6), "MON-RRRR")-1, 'MON - RR'))

modeling;

GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ JAN-13 ~ CREDITS ~ HAS ~ N ~ US ~ NOTHING ~

GL ~ 1001 ~ 157747 ~ DEC-12 ~ CREDITS ~ HAS ~ N ~ US ~ NOTHING ~

Search and replace for the color gradients?

Just discovered new "Find and replace" tool which is very neat. However, I can't make it work with gradients. "Finding" a specific gradient if you replace all the forms with that color with another color United or degraded degraded? (Using Flash CS6; although entry users of old versions of Flash welcome whether applicable...)

Hi Evilbob0,

Search and replace for color, supports only solid colors.

Gradients are not supported (in - Flash Pro CS6 and CC).

How can I use search and replace to replace the title of the doc with copy of the h1 content?

I have a site with about 300 pages which have the same title. I need to replace this title by the same text that appears in the h1 tag on the page (each page is different). Of DW search and replace it? If so, how? I don't really want to go have to go to each page and copy/paste.

jeffsure wrote:

Is there a way to tell him to put only the first h1 tag in the title?

I'm really motivated now to learn regex!

Yes. Just use the following regular expression instead of the previous:

([^<>[\S\s]+?
)([^<>

The field is to replace the same.

The question mark is the [\S\s]+ a lazy search, stopping at the first]
rather than doing a greedy research that concludes the last
in the page.

The regex for learning is difficult, but it can be very rewarding. I would only like the best.

[CS5 JS] excluding the Notes of search and replace

Hello
Does anyone know how to exclude all text within a Note of a search/replace, text or grep operation?
I went through and systematically all the findChangeGrepOptions that had the word "include" in false:
includeLockedStoriesForFind: false
includeLockedLayersForFind: false
includeHiddenLayers: false
includeMasterPages: false
includeFootnotes: false
just to check, but nothing has worked. myText.changeGrep () has again changed the text in the note.
Of course, it would be pretty easy to write a wrapper function
```
var myChangeGrep = function( textObject, checkNotes ) {
   checkNotes = checkNotes || false;
   results = [];

  // Go through and run changeGrep on all the 
  // parts of the textObject that are not contained inside Notes, 
  // (or just run it on the entire textObject if checkNotes is true),
  // and push the results to the results array as we go along.

  return results;
};
```
but it has the disadvantage that it returns a table and not a collection of InDesign, as does the regular changeGrep. In addition, as simple as it may be, it would be easier if there was a preference somewhere to take care of this.
Any idea?
Thank you!

There is no preference for that: the scope of search and replace can be set only with five preferences that you have already tried. (In the same way, you can not include/exclude tables.) findGrep() and changeGrep() return an array, for that matter, not a collection.

Try to find the queries of search and replace

OK, I thought I knew where it was. I looked at
C:\Users\phyllis\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\en_US\Caches
He has here called FindChangeData and FindChangeDataTmp files, but write them in the folder for the Version 7.5 does nothing.
So I think I'm looking in the wrong place. I'm moving all the queries search and replace in InDesign CS 5.5. Can someone point me to them?
Thank you, Phyllis

Try C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\------------.
