Hello
Ok. You have your point, sorry...
As I wrote - VBA do not know, but as JS, it could be like this:
var doc = app.activeDocument, destCell, currFile, currRec, currImage, i, mVarA = doc.textVariables.item("variableA"), mVarB = doc.textVariables.item("variableB"), mVarAinst = mVarA.associatedInstances, len = mVarAinst.length; while (len-->0) mVarAinst[len].associatedTextVariable = mVarB;
mVarAinst is an array of instances of varA ==> no need to search through all doc

CTRL-SHIFT-u (windows) cmd-shift-u (mac) - desaturates

In the levels dialog box there are three triangles in the Middle window, drag the triangle to the left to the right until your text is completely black. Oh yes, it also takes your black and white background BTW the effect of the command reverse makes it.

How to disable apple git and replace it with another?
Hello forum,.
I'm new to OSX, and I need to use git. and also, due to security risks, I have to avoid to save my password for the account of git on local computer
Of course under windows and linux, there is no problem. but under OSX, I could never imagine that it may be more difficult that way.
the git command that provided the default is 'apple-modified version of git.
and it STORES GIT BY DEFAULT KEYCHAIN PASSWORD WITHOUT ANY REQUEST of PERMISSION OR INTERACTION.
I do not understand why apple did, but anyway, there at - there no guide for DISABLE the PRESENT?
Thank you.

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 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.

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

I think I bought the wrong adobe software and wants to replace it with another. I don't see any 'central form' availability on Acrobat DC, but my colleague has on an old Pro XI Acrobat. I would like to communicate with someone at adobe to discuss. Nee
Hi Ion,
Forms Central is longer now.
A trial version of forms used to be installed as part of Acrobat PRO XI Central desktop application.
It is no longer available and is not included in Acrobat DC, however, you can always create PDF using Acrobat PRO from DC forms.

Can I create a snapshot and replace it with an image (or link another picture than the current photo)? Details: I made adjustments in iPhoto until now I want my (unpublished) masters, some RAWs JPEGs, create a snapshot and set the photo as the one to keep. If it is not possible, all of the recommendations (in addition the usual masters of backup and import changes).
What I do is I have to assign some metadata down battery photo indicating of don't not to export the picture. Then, I use either a collection of smart to find the photo I want to and can not find the photos, I don't want and export all in the smart collection. or I use a Collection of post Smart, even once allows me to select only the pictures I want and not those I want.
Of course you manually uncheck items you want to export, which work as well.

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)>=:\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.

High level view of an encoder, which is involved in finding a specified text and replace it with something else?

Yes. Like any robust technique, the PDF specification is complicated. I'm something of a novice, but I had some success decoding PDFs. feel free to ask me any other questions.

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.

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.
