• 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) {};
      }

• 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

• Search and replace Question

  I would like to find text in a document and add a space at the beginning of a style. I can't simply replace text because its different text throughout the book. Is there a way to invke the Clipboard in one search and replace? For example...

  If ^ c were the command to copy and paste the selection yould be able to use

  ' ^ m ^ p ' in the section replace, add a space in the world, it finds my search criteria.

  One more thing, im stuck semi with CS3 to do this and would like to keep in CS3, but might, if I'm using CS4 and then export to CS3... new id really prefer does not however.

  I think you're going to need two styles, one for the first paragraph of the quotation and the other for the following paragraphs in the citation. What you do universally for the style, if you have only one, will affect all paragraphs with this style.

  You never responded to my previous questions as these quotes don't in running text or separate executives. If they are in the text running there is no reason to use the paragraph NET, unless you want to push the line down, at the top of a column (which, in my opinion is ugly and one of the main arguments against the addition of an empty paragraph). The space is a better and simpler choices. If the quotes are in separate frames, you can adjust the Insert at the top of the page text to push. You don't need anything special at all (nor a second style), and you can save as part of a style object.

  Overall, my response to this question is that you approach the problem from the wrong direction. It's just a matter of definition of style, if style paragraph or style object and find/replace should play no role, except perhaps to allow you to easily locate the quotes to change the style of the first paragraph. You'll still need to do them one by one, but find the change can locate all so you do not need to go page by page.

• Search and replace in files

  Behavior of the interrogator:

  I learned to click Save (or save everything) before attempting to search and replace in files: somehow the HR application can't handle "the currently open section" and I repeatedly got stuck in an infinite loop of the contextual dialog "this file has been modified outside the multi-fichiers (sic, old term) find and replace.» You want to reload the file? "- and it does not matter whether I click Yes (or maybe that's not serious, but I don't know the terms of Yes and no).

  It's frustrating, especially when he's stuck on a single file. After dozens of clicks. I get a popup of RoboHelp HTML (with a red ringed X) which States that "the parameter is incorrect.

  Second, maybe it's my imagination, but there was to be a rocking this user activated (de) select all... and this ability seems to be lost: if I want to limit my edit 'multifile' to tell the 3 files, I need to manually disable all other 500 topics that I don't want to change. Sorry, but I don't have a folder structure that allows me to limit my search in a folder... and reorganize the existing entries will destroy... the table of contents, the see also of hyperlinks, etc.

  Thirdly, the ability to drag the subjects of the list of topics in the current page to create a hypertext link seems to have disappeared. Maybe I dream here, as well, because the list of topics and the current page were not visible at the same time (in a previous version of HR); However, I have to are used to the click and drag the ability for the creation of hypertext links to other topics and I don't understand why it works in some cases (list of projects, TOC) but does not work for the list of topics.

  This is perhaps a few referrals, or maybe someone knows some tips of use that I am not aware... Can anyone offer insight?

  Hello

  To avoid the message about the file being modified, close everything in the editor before you start find and replace operations. The message is produced because you have the aforementioned subjects to open in the editor.

  As you mention "search and replace in files", I assume you are referring to version 8. I just opened version 8 and carried out a search and replace to confirm. There is a button allowing you to cancel all.

  

  By clicking and dragging to create a link, it never worked that way. You can just drag from the pod to the list of topics to do. But you can leave the pod project manager. Perhaps you should consider submitting a form wishes to request the ability to drag and drop the pod of the list of subjects to create links.

  As far as rearrange your subjects in different folders, as long as you do from within RoboHelp you shouldn't be destroying all the links. RoboHelp updates the references for you when you move things. The only question is if you automatically create the structure of your table of contents based on the structure of the project. But usually it's a one time shot. From there to the front, you just handle things by using the table of contents Editor.

  Hope this helps... Rick

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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

• Help with GREP search and replace

  I've never used grep before and I'm stumped.  I have a document that lists the times for different classes.  Times are variously listed as 9-10, 9-10, 9-10 or 9-10, to get examples.  The problem is that there may be no space or a space on the left or the right of the hyphen.  I want it all the time as 10:30 - 11:30, for example.  In other words, the link must have a space on each side of it.  I think that this could be accomplished with GREP search and replace, but I don't understand the syntax well enough to make it work.

  Can someone tell me how to write the search and replace expressions?  (Of course the real time could be any hours).

  Thank you!

  It is tempting to add spaces of * all numbers separated by a dash. If you don't know all time have some minutes, then it is safer to use this:

  (?<=:\d\d)>

  .. Replace with space hyphen space.

  He seeks the "settler, any digit, any digit" (which is * found * not * included *), followed by 'optional of a space, a hyphen, optional space' and must be followed by 'any number' (again, not counting this one). Since the figures before and after are * found * not * included *-which is due to the (? xxx) syntax - all that needs to be replaced is the dashboard itself. Making the space before and after the optional dashboard (using a single "?" immediately after each), no matter if it * is * a space or not, all the combinations will be found and replaced.

• 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.
