Another GREP Question

I'm attempting to use GREP to search for any lines that contain the following: "word or words": Then change it to: "word or words":
The problem is not changing it's finding. I'm using this string to try to find these words or phrases in parentheses with the column at the end: (")(\w+)(")(:)
Thus far it works great at finding what I want with one exception. It can't find any multiple words in parentheses it can only find cases with sing words. As far as I understand (\w) should find "Any Word" but in this line there is a + which means One or More Times, yet it only find One time Not One Or More. Could someone please help me understand why this is not working the way it appears it should be?

It's not working because multiple words have spaces between them, and you aren't allowing for that.
I suspect what you really want to find is (".+?"): though I haven't tested. That ought to find the shortest match of anything between quotes and followed by a colon.

Add space between set of Symbols - Grep Question

hi everyone,
I have another Grep question someone hopefully can help with. I need to find the following symbols in my long document < > + =
All these symbols need space either side of the character. I would like to setup a grep expression and have it find the symbols and add spaces either side. So far I can find each symbol but can't figure out how to add spaces before and after with the replace feature?

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

Yet another standby question...

Hi gurus,
Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
db_name YELLOW - primary prod
db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
Thanks as usual,
Maria

well, that's a good question! :)
because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
Thanks for writing to me,
M.

GREP Question: Style em spaces that precede only certain triggers within a paragraph

Hello,
Up front:
I do not know GREP well enough to begin to tackle this. And as usual, I'm in a pinch!
Also, if you're the visual type, just look at the second to the last paragraph at the bottom, and that may be enough to help you devise the GREP style. Otherwise, bear with me, I have to think this through...
I have a list that spans pages of events. The events are formatted as follows:
☐Box City EventNameSpecific Month EndPara (this is a single paragraph in a story of a hundred such paragraphs)
On paper, each event will need to be preceded with a filled specific-colored box (☐). I would like this box to be made from a strikethrough applied to an em space using grep, since that is very easy to create using a character style and only requres one setting (the thickness of the strikethrough).
There is a legend at the bottom of the page, detailing about 14 types of events. Some of the different types of events will require the same colored box. But in all I have 7 different colors of boxes in the legend.
I'm looking to create...
7 character styles, one for each color (consider this done already)
1 paragraph style (essentially done, but missing the GREP)
7 GREP styles (or more as necessary) specifically to apply only to the em space that precede specific sets of text strings
If I need, or if it is simpler to create 14 GREP styles within the paragraph style, that's fine. But I understand we may be able to do something like this... (Target phrase 1 | Target phrase 2 | Target phrase 3) in between parenthesis to identify multiple possible triggers within the same rule.
I'm fine whether it's 7 or 14 rules in there, I just want to be able to update them over the course of time as necessary - but it won't be for another season at least if I do.
I don't know GREP well enough to piece together what I need. Vaguely familiar with look aheads and look behinds. I do understand it may be easier if the em space is in between other characters, so in my example below I've inserted hairspaces. But ultimately I want the em space to be flush or nearly flush to the left of the frame.
For my example below:
I only want to apply character styles to em dashes based on the strings in bold.
The strings of text that will trigger the GREP will vary in number of words and may or may not contain a dash.
I want to ignore Citynames regardless of number of words... Chicago vs. San Francisco vs. Vancouver, BC for example.
I want to ignore MonthofYear which appears after the second tab.
The tabs will have set stops as a regular part of the paragraph style. I'm including them in my example below in case it helps to visualize possible anchors to use in GREP.
I want the style to be easy enough to modify, for example if I want to simply add an (EEEE New Eventname) to the list of possible options within a rule that triggers a specific character style. See below should make it clearer.
So here's what I'm thinking...
Within the Paragraph Style, the first two examples of GREP Styles should be able to respond to the following criteria:
Rule 1: If the paragraph contains any of the following, then apply Char Style 1 to the em dashes in those paragraphs. Use a unique GREP expression for each phrase below where each uses Char Style 1 or use a single GREP expression to capture all three possible triggers:
ABC BB Invitational
ABC Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ABC MM-Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rule 2: If the paragraph contains any of the following, then apply Char Style 2 … and so on
Global ABC Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Global WXYZ Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I cannot count on “ABC” or “Global” being the trigger for the style, if you know what I mean. I need the entire phrase (ABC BB Invitational) to be the trigger… if it exist in its entirety, then apply the style to the preceding em dash in that paragraph. This way if there are any mispellings or if we launch a new event type which ends up flowing in to my document I will know it.
hairspace emspace tabspace CitynameOneWord ABC BB Invitational tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace Cityname TwoWrds ABC BB Invitational tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace Cityname MultiWrds ABC BB Invitational tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace Cityname TwoWrds ABC MM-Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace Cityname MultiWrds ABC Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace Cityname TwoWrds Global ABC Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace CitynameOneWord Global WXYZ Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace CitynameOneWord Global Special Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx tabspace MonthofYear
hairspace emspace tabspace CitynameOneWord Globl Special WRONG SPELLING tabspace MonthofYear
I hope this makes sense and isn't too unnecessarily redundant. Time for bed. Fingers crossed someone will post at least one GREP string, so I have some magic code for tomorrow morning! Ideally, it would be great if you would include a brief explanation of waht the string is doing, but minimally, please do use one of my text stings above, so I know what to mess with and what not to. ;-)
<says prayer>
Thanks!
Rick

Well, for a moment I thought I had an idea of how to do this with GREP styles, but I realized it wouldn't work, and I'm not sure it's possible unless you are able to make a separate style for every possible string between the em space and the trigger text. You want to use the lookahead because you want to find that text, but you don't want to select it or apply the style to it, but a lookahead can't handle the kind of variability on string length that you need to work based on just the bolded text at the end.
It would actually be easier to use paragraph styles based on the bolded text that include a nested character style, I think. That could be handled by find change, but I think the best thing is probably to move this over to scripting.
Rather than just move the discussion, though, I'm going to ask you to cross post so there are two threads on the chance that someone else who doens't visit scripting might have another idea for you here.

Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

Hi all
right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
many thanks

You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

Another Noobie question - readLine()

Hi all
This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file
    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){
            NetworkLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }My Test.txt is
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
without the *
The output I get is
Two
Four
Six
I cannot figure out why only even no. lines are being read. I inserted a breakpoint at the line
          System.out.println(NetworkLine);This shows me that only even no. lines are being read by readLine(). Any help will be appreaciated.
Thanks
Ayesha

    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){ // <-- This reads a line, checks it for null ,and drops it
            NetworkLine = in.readLine(); // <-- this reads the next line
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }So the upshot is that you print every other line.
Corrected:
    String networkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while ((networkLine = in.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(networkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Another beginner question about targeting functions

I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
//sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
//sym.getComposition().playSound();
//Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)

Well you can purchase either an upgrade or a full copy. Difference is, one has to be upgraded from a previous operating system (XP or Vista) and the other can do a clean install without the need to have a previous operating system. The Windows 7 Upgrade program provides you with an upgrade copy of Windows 7.

ANOTHER formats question...

I've been using Streamclip to convert mpeg2's to Quicktime. I've experimented with Apple MPEG4 and Sorenson 3. Not the jpeg format so much.
My question: which is the best format for keeping the file size about the same and losing the least video quality? These files are for multiple purposes. Some will be used on the internet and others will find their way onto dvds.
Is the option from streamclip to DV good for Final Cut and Quicktime?
I realize the short answer to my question is that it totally depends on what I want the file for. But what I'm really looking for is a primer on the diff between Sorenson, MP4, JPEG-A(B)....etc.
I'm moving toward using h.264 for everything, but not everyone has qt7 - you know?

My question: which is the best format for keeping the file size about the same and losing the least video quality? These files are for multiple purposes. Some will be used on the internet and others will find their way onto dvds.
Everybody has their own picks. However, you might also want to consider the fact that not everybody has upgraded to latest QuickTime Player.
My general pick would be Sorenson Video 3 for general purposes. Sorenson Video 3 performed better (in terms of quality) then MPEG 4 when you limit the bitrate to some small number (i.e. small filesize). As for DVDs, you might want to export in another format for it.
Is the option from streamclip to DV good for Final Cut and Quicktime?
It is, assume the original file is good quality.
But what I'm really looking for is a primer on the diff between Sorenson, MP4, JPEG-A(B)....etc.
I made this page awhile back, you might find it useful.

GREP question re: character style

I am trying to take a block of text and change everything in that text to a certain character style. What's the correct GREP expression to do that? I know I could just highligh the text in question and apply the character style, but I need to use this in a FindChangeByList script, so I need to do it using GREP expressions. Thanks.

What I'm really looking for is this. When I want to format a paragraph in a paragraph style, sometimes there are underlying character styles that I need to clear first. So I higlight the block of text, go to character styles and select [None], thus clearing that text of any character styles. Then I apply my paragraph style. I've found that if I don't do this, I get unexpected results.
I know that the active characer styles is always the last character style that was used, but I wish that the default was simply the [None] character style. I'm forever having to go back to [None.]
I'm trying to build some scripts that automate this for me, but perhaps there's a much easier way to think about this problem.

A grep question

Hi all,
Sorry, I know its a Java forum but all of you know Unix shell much more than me and might be able to help me. I came across following in a Unix shell programming tutorial:
* Execute statements as long as a condition is false
until grep "sort" dbase_log > /dev/null
do
sleep 10
done
echo "Database has been sorted"
* Example executes until grep is unsuccessful
Doesn't grep looks for word "sort" in the dbase_log file? It does not actually execute "sort" as sort command, right? Why it says that "Database has been sorted"?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

you'd already gotten your answer, so there was no
harm in a little wisecracking.Not sure, what do you mean, I got to forum after a

non-sence.Okay, I'm confused. I'm not sure what you're saying here.
If you're thanking me for giving you the real answer, your aim is off. :-) Somebody else posted the real answer.
If you're thanking me for being a wiseass, you're welcome, but I'm just doing what becomes naturally.
I thought maybe you were being sarcastic because you didn't like my wiseass comment.
Anyway, I'll let it drop now, before I confuse myself any more.
