CS4 can GREP do this?

Hi,
Is it possible using a GREP find/replace to locate a tab character and replace it with a forced line break AND tab. BUT ONLY if the tab is followed by less than 5 characters on the same line!
I know GREP can do some pretty complex stuff but is this a job for a script?
Thanks
Simon.

Hi Eugene and Peter,
Thanks for your input.
I don't think I have been clear on what my problem is. I was looking for a starting point with GREP and was hoping to work it out for myself from there.
I have long list of cars for sale similar to the one below:
Ford Galaxy one lady owner, low mileage, good runner, blue...............£3000
or
Ford Galaxy one lady owner, low mileage, good runner, air con, elec. windows
blue...................................................................................... ..............£3000
but often the tab leader is too short
Ford Galaxy one lady owner, low mileage, good runner, midnight blue..£3000
I am after a non-manual way to force the tab onto the next line when a short tab leader appears
thus
Ford Galaxy one lady owner, low mileage, good runner, midnight blue
.......................................................................................... .............£3000
So I think I have probably asked the wrong question.
Simon.

  • Unexpected end of file error on CS4, can I fix this or is the file lost?

    I'm trying to open a Photoshop CS4 file, but it keeps giving me an error message saying "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." A lot of hours went into this project. Can I fix this or is the file lost?

    Oh man, I've been getting that too (with CS5). Unless I move my file off my computer at end-of-day, I show up and get this error. I'll be eager to see what an expert says… and sorry I can't help you out!

  • I need flash cs4 - can I get this and or register this through creative cloud?

    ?

    I think the Cloud only provides versions back as far as CS6.  Adobe doesn't sell older versions of their software so if you need to get it you probably have to see if you can get it from a third party vendor.
    Is there a reason you need that particular version?

    I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

    What does "the registration won't let me" mean? If the serial number is rejected, contact support by web chat. for anything else you need to provide proper technical information and actually explain your issue.

  • Can't figure this one out! CS4

    I'm trying to understand why, in the Flash project above, I get an odd discrepancy between the project as it appears on the Stage, and the version that exports as a SWF.
    Here's a description of the problem, though you might find it easier to simply look at the problem, in the blue bunny's legs, for yourself.
    I'm animating two characters originally drawn on paper by my daughters, age 4 and 3. The blue bunny character's legs are graphic symbols ("L/R leg squeeze") with a motion tween applied to them, an x-scale transformation, occurring only once per 30-frame bounce cycle.
    However, up a level or two at the "lyda armature bounce" symbol, the same transformation unexpectedly occurs three times over the same 30 frames -- seemingly tied to the "pose" keyframes. You can't see this mysterious effect except in the blue bounding box that you get when you select a leg.
    If anyone could explain this problem, I'd be grateful. Maybe something to do with my IK armature and the fact that within it, I have moved its component graphic symbols (all of them except the legs) to match the embedded leg-squish animation?

  • How many computers can I run this software on?

    The laptop I am currently using is dying. Can I install this on a new computer?         

    Thanks for your help, but the drop down window you posted is nothing like mine. I am running windows 7, 64 bit. I am calling Adobe support tomorrow. My desktop dies completely and I lost Adobe Pro 9 and CS4 before I could deactivate them. I've read that Adobe will deactivate them for me when this happens. I'll ask about the Elements 10 too when I talk to them.
    My laptop is experiencing the same problems as my desktop was, so I know it is only a matter of time before it's gone too. I have Acrobat pro 10 on it, which I can deactivate. If Adobe deactivates Pro 9 and CS4, they'll go on another desktop, which is my workstation, when I get one . BTW, I tried to take a screen shot of my menu, but Adobe will not allow me to, so I can't show you what I was seeing.
    Again, thanks for everything.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

    You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
    It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
    If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

    Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
    Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

  • Illustrator CS4 can´t sometimes use some fonts

    Hello I have a strange issue with illustrator CS4 under Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Design Premium, which is driving me really crazy. If I am trying to write some text using for example Titilium Font, Olijo or some other ttf and otf fonts, I can see them in font selection, but whe I change to them Illustrator automaticaly switch to Myriad Pro. Few minutes ago I have sucesfully written a text with Olijo font then I restarted computer and Illustrator refused to use the font next time. I do not know what is causing it because other programs Word, Excel, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash can use them font without any problems. This issue is happening randomly with random fonts only in Illustrator. It also happened once with Myriad Pro font Family. Anyone knows how can I solve this?
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my custom fonts (bought and downloaded) are in the folder C:\Fonts, system fonts are in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. For font managing I am using Bitstream Font Navigator.

    You could check these knowledgebase articles on troubleshooting font problems:
