Bolding all type before en space without using nested styles

I'm trying to have all the words before an en space in all paragraphs made boldface without using nested styles. The nested styles work great for print, but don't seem to do the trick for epubs, such as this project.
For example:
Car Ferrari GTO
I tried doing a find/change for all the text formatted with the nested style, changing the nested style to no char. style + Bold. But for some reason the nested style stays attached, and if I delete the character style that is called for in the nested style, the text loses its bf.
Thanks for any help!!

Silly me -- that trick uses another sort of workaround.
I meant to point you to Harbs' script ApplyNestedStyles: http://in-tools.com/indesign/scripts/freeware/ApplyNestedStyles.zip

Using nested styles to break blocks of text into different pages

Hello everyone,
I'm treating data collected through a Google Docs form and I've already set it up so that the questions appear on the left and are followed by the respective answers sequentially so that I have a simple way to copy paste the whole information to Indesign. Then I'm going to use nested styles to define individual styles for the questions and answers.
What I can't do, however... and I'm not even sure if it's possible, is how to tell Indesign to break text that is laid out sequentially into different lines or to break blocks of text so that they start in the beggining of the next page without having to resize the text frames by hand.
As a visual example this is what the data I've exported out of excel looks like:
Question 1 (tab) Answer A1 (line break)
Question 2 (tab) Answer A2 (line break)
Question 3 (tab) Answer A3 (line break)
Question 1 (tab) Answer B1 (line break)
Question 2 (tab) Answer B2 (line break)
Question 3 (tab) Answer B3 (line break)
(and so on in groups of 3 questions)
And I want to turn it into:
Question 1 (turn the tabs into line breaks)
Answer A1
Question 2
Answer A2
Question 3
Answer A3
(and then start at the beggining of a new page)
Question 1
Answer B1
Question 2
Answer B2
Question 3
Answer B3
I can't define the size of the text frames so that the next group of questions+answers starts at the beggining of a new page because some of the answers are multi-line fields and thus the number of lines of the answers are variable and they can come short of the text frame edge or pass it.
Can anyone share some insight of how to do this (or if it is at all possible)?
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your input.
I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
Thank you very much!

Using Nested Styles for Prices

I wish to easily plug in Prices and have them automatically edited to fit the style I want.
For example: If I typed $3.59. . . .I would want it to show up as automatically.
I am mainly concerrned with being able to apply Superscripts and Subscripts and erasing the decimal.
A step-by-step explaination would be amazing!
Thank you,
- Jack

Sorry, you can't do this with styles. Styles can change formatting of text, but cannot add or delete. For that you need to run find/change.
You can search for (\.)(\d\d) and replace with $2 and set the change format to your superscript (probably with a local override rather than a style, as will become clear in a moment). It would be nice to limit this to only prices by adding a lookbehind for the dollar sign and dollar amounts, but lookbehinds cannot have varable length strings, so you would have to do one for each possible number of digits, like this:
(?<=[$])(\.)(\d{2})
(?<=[$]\d)(\.)(\d{2})
(?<=[$]\d{2})(\.)(\d{2}) for 0, 1 and 2 digits in front of the decimal.
You'll need a second query to add the "ea" if you don't type it, probably find \d with the find format set to superscript and change to $0ea This will leave the "ea" also in superscript, so you'll need a second query to fix that: (?<=\d)ea with the find format again set to superscript. Leave the change field blank and set the change format for normal position.
All of these queries can be chained together to run in one operation using tools you'll find at http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/chain_queries.html
I WOULD use an ordinary nested style, however, to style make the prices large and orange. That would be None up to 1 $ and then your big orange style through 1 word (this may at first only make the $and dollar portion of the price big and orange, but once the decimal point is removed it shoould fix itself. If you add a space before the "ea" you'll need to apply the style through 2 words.

Calling a stored procedure before row update without using triggers

I have got two tables Main Table(Table1) and History Table(Table2), whenever an update is done on Table1 i want to insert the old row before update to Table2, so that i have history available for that record.
My doubt is
how to refer to old value (values b4 update) in a stored procedure?
how to call a stored procedure b4 every row update(on the database side as we do with tiggers)?
I want to write a stored procedure where in i will insert the old row values ( value b4 update ) to Table2.
Any Help would be great....

sample code calling procedure before insert:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new someDriver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(driver,uname,pword);
CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{call procedureName(?,?)}");
          cs.setString(1,userName);
          cs.registerOutParameter(2,Types.VARCHAR);
          cs.execute();
          success = cs.getString(2);
          PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("insert into sometable values(?,?)");
          pstmt.setString(1,userName);
          pstmt.setString(2,password);
          pstmt.executeUpdate();
          conn.commit();
          cs.close();
       conn.close();

System memory show 0KB available. Finder will not open. How can I get access to files in order to delete them without using finder?

My friend is running OS X Yosemite. Her kid used up all the memory on minecraft/word of warcraft files. Now no app will open including Finder to even access files for deletion. Is there a way to access any apps/files to clear space without using finder?

Step 1
The first step is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
You might be able to run in safe mode even though you can't run normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.

Nested style: everything preceeded by 3 spaces needs to be italicized

I'm doing a directory for a church. I got my nested style sheet to place a rule before each entry and to bold the family name. At the end of each listing, the children in each family are listed. I created a nested style for the names. I tried defining the nested style as through 3 spaces but that italicizes everything except the family name. How do I use nested style to see the three spaces through hard return and italicize everything in between?
Screen shot with tabs and spaces. The very first entry (Ainsle family) is how it should look.
Thanks in advance for your help.
[screen shot removed by host per Richard's request]

Richard,
You're a little confused about this.
First, do NOT worry about putting the em space after the names. Just do a Replace All to change instances of three spaces to an em space. (I'm assuming you didn't put three spaces anywhere else.)
At the end of the nested styles, you want to apply None up to the first em space.
Then you want to apply the character style italic until the end of the paragraph which you can define as the end nested style here character.
That should be all you need.
However, I noticed that you've got an error in the listing for Kevin Alexander and Julie Hansen. The rule underneath their names is wrong.
Finally, you ought to think a second before posting an image on the web with people's real names, addresses, emails, home and work phones, etc.
If it is possible to revoke that image, do it now!

Using nested Joins in abap prog

Hi All,
please help me out in using nested joins in abap progrmaming. I dont know about joins in abap.specially in case of outer join.
I have 5 internal tables.. mara ,marc, mvke,mbew,ampl. am using a select query with certain fields from all these tables.
I need to disply all the materials of a mara for a particular date irrespective of the values in fields of other tables.
        Even if that materail is not present in other table for certain condtion ,that material should get displyed with all other fields showing null value..

Hi RK,
the code am using is of the same way...but my problem was with the joins..in the select query am using nested join combining inner and outer join.. but i could not able to display all the materials of mara of a particular date..
The code looks like this..
SELECT <some fields.......>
INTO TABLE i_materials
      FROM ( marc AS b
      INNER JOIN mara AS a ON amatnr = bmatnr
      INNER JOIN mvke AS c ON cmatnr = amatnr
      INNER JOIN ampl AS g ON gbmatn = amatnr
      LEFT OUTER JOIN mbew AS d ON dmatnr = bmatnr
                               AND dbwkey = bwerks )
WHERE a~matnr IN s_matnr AND .................
Else
SELECT <some fields.......>

Repost:Use Page style feature for portlet

All,
How do i simulate the 'use page style' feature for a custom portlet ? Currently, I have to hard code the style.
thanks

The following is from one of the sample portlets (comments incl):
Display the content of the portlet in the show mode.
Use the wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text() API when generating the content of the portlet so that the output uses the portlet CSS.
htp.p(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
p_string => 'Hello World - Mode Show'
,p_level => 1
I assume this is what you are looking for--the level would be the Portlet Text level, and you could substitute a parameter.
HTH!

I have all my pictures in an external drive, how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space?

i have all my pictures in an external drive (around 1tb), how do i create a library in iphoto without using my internal drive space? thanks!

In iPhoto use the command "File > Switch to Library" and then click "Create New" in the Library Chooser panel.
Select a folder on your external drive as the destination.
You can also get to this panel by holding down the alt/options key when you launch iPhoto.

aslo it shuts down unxpectedly (sometimes shuts down at 30% then i cant restart it until i blog it to the charger)
and sometimes jumps from 40% to 20% or from 20% to 3%
i have done many things people recommanded it for me like :
restore : i've done two restores and it gets better for the first 1-2 weeks then it gets worse than before.
also deleted my music list (19gb) in order to make this better (as recommended) but it still the same
my screen brightness is always ALWAYS low , almost the lowest.
i close the apps when i finish using them ALL OF THEM
i dont use the camera and flash , almost rarely. just to save battery.
i dont use the location service always.
i dont charge my phone until it shuts down and i dont unblog it until it reachs 100%
basically i have tried eveything.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

ICal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.

iCal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
On the previous software version I used to be able to view all my calendar events as a list by clicking on the magnifying glass. Now you have to type into the search dialog box for a list to populate. This is very frustrating and annoying because I much prefer the list format to populate everything unless I specify what I am looking for into the search box. Is there a way to view all the events as a list without having to type anything into the search box?

And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.
