Separate the merge fields with tabs, how to remove if there is no data

Hello

I have a document of Idesign which merges the field from a csv file. Merging documents fields are separated by a tab, for example:

{1001} {1002} {1003}

{2002} {2003} {2001}

{3001} {3002} {3003}


etc.

In some cases there is no data available in the csv file. This translates into a line blank in the document with only 2 tabs. Because the actual number of letters generated is huge to delete empty lines. How to solve this problem? Is there a way to only use the tabs if there is data in the fields and remove the line if no data is available?

This string GREP only matches lines that contain nothing but the tabs and not match any line that made a valid data entry. If you used regular and right indent tabs you need to change to ^ [\t~y]+\r

    Hi Joel,

    Merger of field, you can generate the HTML code required for the merger of field uttering one in your email and then merge in the email your work with.  Discover the grab HTML HTML field merging and post it in your URL.  Commonly, the syntax would be 'SFDC_ContactID1' or something of the sort (this is depends on the merge field name). In your particular case, the finished HTML code would look like, "SFDC_ContactID1">."

  • My sim card has slipped the tray and into the phone and is locked how to remove

    Grandson bought a new iPhone and thought that he had to change sim cards.  He removed the sim card and tried to reinsert everything by putting the tray with the card in the phone, SIM slipped off the set and became stuck in the phone.  Any ideas how to remove?

    Take a pair of tweezers and VERY carefully and gently grasp the card and remove it. No doubt, try to avoid the contact pins that are inside the phone and touch the bottom of the SIM card when the card is inserted.

  • How to separate the different CDs with different titles in iTunes

    Hello

    Please help me because I find that iTunes is not easy to use (to a point of departure to experience).

    Option 1:

    I have all my CDs stored on my external hard drive. In iTunes, click on "Add to library" and a drop down of my files appear. I select A folder title and songs are copied to iTunes. In the window of iTunes and under 'my music' and 'artists' (upper right corner) pieces appear with the title "unknown artist" and "unknown album" that appears.

    On my computer, I have the following:

    users > music > iTunes > iTunes media > music

    > CD A (unknown artist - nothing)

    > CD (title unknown album - showing the list of songs)

    I have manually rename the artist and album folders subfolders.

    > CD A (type the title)

    > CD A (type the title - display the list of songs)

    When I play my music in iTunes, iTunes automatically creates a new "unknown artist" under folder and subfolders "unknown album", respectively. Every song in my sub labeled folder manually moved to the new album 'unknown '.

    > CD A (my typical title)

    > CD A (my typical title - no list of songs)

    > CD A (unknown artist - nothing)

    > CD (album unknown list - view the list of songs that have been transferred)

    In any case stop iTunes from new subfolders open after you create subfolders when installing an external hard drive.

    Option 2

    I have the original purchased legally CD from Amazon.com. I load the CD in my player and iTunes, a message appears ' do you want to import the music from the CD title: "I click on Yes and the songs are loaded. On my computer, I have the following:

    users > music > iTunes > iTunes media > music

    > Compilations

    > South Pacific (Broadway)

    > South Pacific (West End)

    > Sound of Music (Broadway)

    > Sound of Music (West End)

    I did not take it. I create 2 new subfolders in the South Pacific and the sound of music. Transfer the South Pacific CD 2 x in the main folder of void SP and transfer the x 2 sounds of music CD in the main folder of void SOM. Delete the subfolder "compilation". I ask this question because I don't want to spoil, wasting time and to find iTunes create new subfolders as he did in option 1. I don't want to redo the import of my CD

    In the window of iTunes and under 'my music' and 'artists' (upper right corner), it shows the LHS bar with compilations (4 albums - IE 2 x SOM and 2 x SP CD). On my computer, if I deleted compilations under folder and created 2 new subfolders in the South Pacific and the sound of music, titles would change in the LHS of the window iTunes as well. Would creat it too much of a problem for iTunes.

    Option 2 (re-rip your music from a CD) seems to be a pain, so go with Option 1.

    iTunes is probably do what you describe, because your song files apparently do not have "metadata" (embedded info) for things like the name of the song, artist, album, track name, etc.  When you import these files of songs in iTunes, iTunes uses "unknown artist" and "unknown album."  If you understand what iTunes does, you won't be iTunes of fighting .

    Here's a suggestion to add these songs as easy as possible.  First, open iTunes preferences Advanced Panel.  The path that you see the designated iTunes Media folder, you should not change (unless you want to store your iTunes Media also folder).  Below, there are TWO check boxes to keep iTunes Media folder organized AND Add files to the Media folder when adding to the iTunes library.  One tells iTunes to keep iTunes Media folder organized based on how the pieces appear in iTunes (this is why these files got renamed).  The other tells iTunes to make a copy of the song for the iTunes Media folder file (instead of using the file of the song where it was added).  I recommend you keep the two checkboxes are checked.

    Create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  To do this, click the button on the music at the left end of the horizontal bar (to show your music library), and then click playlists near the middle of the horizontal bar.  A side bar appears along the left side of the iTunes window.  At the bottom of the sidebar, click the Plus sign and choose new playlist.  A new playlist appears in the sidebar, where you can name; You can call it Import.  Click Import playlist in the sidebar, to show the (currently empty) reading list to the right.  Keep iTunes window open in this way.

    Open a Finder window to view your storage space of files of the song on the external hard drive.  Select one of your folders of the song ("title" in your example).  Drag this folder in the Finder window, in the iTunes window and drop it on the playlist of the import .  The songs are added to this list of reading and also in your iTunes library.  Change the 'view' of this playlist; at the right end of the horizontal bar, click on the control and select the view of songs .  The playlist is presented as a simple list, with columns, where it is easier to change the song information.  Don't worry at this stage, on the way in which the songs are stored in a warehouse of your Mac; iTunes takes care of this...

    Tips for handling the song list - to sort the list by a column, click the header of this column.  For example, to sort by song name, click the last name column heading. Click a second time to reverse the order.  You can hide and show the available columns, by clicking right on the line of the list header.  You can move a column to the left or right (on the list) by dragging the position of the column.  To select a song on the list, click on the song.  Selection of song appearing together at the same time, click the first song, hold down the SHIFT key, click the last song.  To select the songs listed separately at the same time, hold down the command and Option keys and click on the songs you want to select.

    You can change most of the entries of information of the song on the list directly, by clicking on the field you want to change a song.  However, to make a lot more quickly, you can change a set of songs at the same time, using the Info window.  For example, select all the songs on an album at the same time, right-click the selection and select information.  In the window information , Details tab, change the field Album of songs.  Do the same thing by selecting all the pieces of the same artist at the same time and change the field to the artist .  You must also add the entries of path #, so that iTunes knows the order of songs on an album (make it from the info window).  If the song name currently includes info addition, change it so that it is only the name of the song (do on the list).  If you look in the iTunes Media folder now (using the Finder), iTunes has remained things organized, based on the edit, you did in the iTunes window.  The songs are now organized into subfolders by artistand then by Album, with the song found files: the track number name more song.

    With a selection of import , you have been keeping all the songs of one of your folders set when editing the info of the song.  They were probably organized this way on your external drive for a reason.  You can create playlists to import additional for your other records with songs.  Or you can delete current songs in the playlist of import and reuse for the next record with songs.  The songs are not removed from your library of iTunes (only from the playlist) music.

  • How can I change the pdf file cannot be modified, but hold down the scroll button for the form fields with multiple lines?

    You can define a field with strike and validate to prevent the user from changing the value of the field. First, set the field to multiline and 'Scroll long text' and the default value for the text to display in the field. Then add a custom script to strike which is:

    Custom keystroke script

    Event.RC = false;

    and to be complete, the validation script customized according to:

    Custom validation script

    If (event.value! == event.target.defaultValue) event.rc = false;

    These scripts will prevent the value to be changed, at least in Acrobat and Reader if JavaScript is enabled.

    Looks like you have display fields enabled in Word. Turn that off and it should be OK. If the paragraph marks are also displayed, their deactivation may be sufficient.

  • Connect the digital field with Drop Down

    I have a numeric field for the zip code and a drop for the city.

    I want that when I write the postal code in the numeric field to automatically display the city drop down list.

    And even when I chose to drop down the list then show in the digital field (postcode)

    I have all that in Excel.

    Thank you

    Use dynamic properties.

    Start by importing the xml from your spreadsheet (you're on your own with who) excel. Assuming that each line is a city and a postal code, your xml code will look like this:

    SomeCity

    12345

    .

    .

    .

    (1) in the designer, go to file > new connection of data...

    (2) select the sample XML data and the file in Excel.

    (3) make good properties sure dynamics are enabled, tools > Options > Data Binding > show of dynamic properties.

    (4) select your fall down and open the field in the object Palette tab.

    (5) you will notice that the list items is green and underlined. Select it.

    (6) for items, select the line

    (7) for the text of the item, select the city

    (8) for the value of the item, select the zip code

    You now have your menu dropdown bound to the data in your Excel worksheet.

    Now, just a bit of coding (brace yourself), in the digital realm for your zip code, in the case of output put:

    theDropDown.rawValue = this.rawValue;

    and to theDropDown:

    thePostalCode.rawValue = this.rawValue;

    Now all you have to do is import xml into your form to perform.

  • fill in the text field with the caption for the radio list

    Hi, I'm looking for an answer to this all morning.  I need to use the value of a list of radio to populate a text field.  I can get the selected numeric value OK with

    $.rawValue = form1. #subform [0]. . Table3.Row1 #SubForm [0]. . RawValue location [0]

    but I want to get the text associated with the value element.  This could be the legend of the selected option button, since it is the same thing.  I don't want to use an if statement because I have a lot of forms to create and that would change things a few times in each shape.  How can I get the value of the text of the column of the item below?

    Try the following with two modifications to your hierarchy.

    (1) currently, you do not have a name for Page1. Make sure that you assign a name for ease of use. ("Page1").

    (2) define a name for the subform that contains PeriodRadio. ("Subform1").

    $.rawValue = form1. Page1. Table3.row2. Subform1. PeriodRadio.selectedMember (). caption.value.text.value;
