Find/Change Item Numbers and create Table of Contents

Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style to it so I can use them to create a Table of Contents page.
Sample item numbers
#12345
#12345-5
#12345-20
#12345-ABC
#12345/N
I tried entering #^?^?^?^?^? on the Find/Change box and but this will find exactly the 5 characters after the # sign. I wonder if you can find all characters starting with # and until the last characters.
Once I find all the item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style for only those characters after the # sign? Because I only want to show the item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.
By the way, I have InDesign CS2 which have no GREP function Maybe I can do this without the GREP?
I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

You actually have two problems here. The first is to assign the paragraph style. For that you can use GREP.
Find #\d+ and leave the change field blank, but in the change formatting pick the paragraph style. Stricly speaking you only need to find #\d or even just # because a paragraph style applies to an entire paragraph, so assigning it to any character inthe paragraph will assign it to the entire paragraph.
Which is your second problem. The TOC is based on paragraph styles and will include all of the text in each paragraph (up to the character limit for a TOC entry, which I think is 256 characters). You can't make a TOC and only use some of the paragraph. For that you need to use an index, or you need to make hidden or non-pinting frames with only the exact text you want in the TOC and assign a unique style to those.
It's also possible someone has written (or could write) a script that can find text strings that match a pattern such as your numers, assign a character style to them (you could actually do that part in the paragraph style by adding a nested GREP style), then making a list of the text strings along with the page number on which they appear -- almost the same as an index except it would be based on character style, not an index marker.

Adobe Indesign Find Change Item Numbers?

I am using Indesign CS5 on iMac, running OS 10.8.3.
I designed a product catalog that has 148 pages. Now I need to save the same design and make a new catalog for our wholesalers. On the wholesalers catalog I need to change the item numbers and add FC in front of each item number. How can I use find change to find each item and change them with FC in front of the item numbers? The following are a few examples of the item numbers:
LED-4042 I want to change it to FCLED-4042
UA-42 I want to change it to FCUA-42
SC-110 change it to FCSC-110
KN-10 change it to FCKN-10
etc....
I am hoping there is a fast way to find and change these. I was looking in to GREP, but I could not figure how to do this.
Thanks,
Omar

This could be a very complex GREP - or a very simple one.
4 Examples are good, but we need more concrete examples. In particular, the longest and the shortest example.
LED-4042 I want to change it to FCLED-4042
UA-42 I want to change it to FCUA-42
SC-110 change it to FCSC-110
KN-10 change it to FCKN-10
This will find your posted item numbers - but …
\<\u{2,3}-\d{2,4}
change to:
FC$0
AND: exists one or more item number/s with FC at the beginning? I hope it is not so.
<edit>
A new day, a better solution (This GREP can be used many times in succession. It may already one or more "FC-numbers" be present.):
\<(?!FC)\u{2,3}-\d{2,4}\>
Or if no similar strings are exists in your document:
\<(?!FC)\u+-\d+\>
Have fun and give a feedback.

Finding missed sequence numbers and rows from a fact table

Finding missed sequence numbers and rows from a fact table
Hi
I am working on an OLAP date cube with the following schema:
As you can see there is a fact transaction with two dimensions called cardNumber and Sequence. Card dimension contains about three million card numbers.
Sequence dimension contains a sequence number from 0 to 255. Fact transaction contains about 400 million transactions of those cards.
Each transaction has a sequence number in 0 to 255 ranges. If sequence number of transactions of a card reaches to 255 the next transaction would get 0 as a sequence number.
For example if a card has 1000 transactions then sequence numbers are as follows;
Transaction 1 to transaction 256 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 257 to transaction 512 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 513 to transaction 768 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 769 to transaction 1000 with sequences from 0 to 231
The problem is that:
Sometimes there are several missed transactions. For example instead of sequence from 0 to 255, sequences are from 0 to 150 and then from 160 to 255. Here 10 transactions have been missed.
How can I find all missed transactions of all cards with a MDX QUERY?
I really appreciate for helps

Thank you Liao
I need to find missed numbers, In this scenario I want the query to tell the missed numbers are: 151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159
Relative transactions are also missed, so I think it is impossible to get them by your MDX query
Suppose this:
date
time
sequence
20140701
23:22:00
149
20140701
23:44:00
150
20140702
8:30:00
160
20140702
9:30:00
161
20140702
11:30:00
162
20140702
11:45:00
163
As you can see the sequence number of the last transaction at the 20140701 is 150
We expecting that the first transaction of the next day should be 151 but it is 160. Those 10 transactions are totally missed and we just need to
find missed sequence numbers

How can I find text-item description and content in database?

I make "Actual news" region with text and simple image items.
With "Custom Search" autoquery I make news portlet with 10 latest news.
But I will make with PDK-Java discussion portlet, in which users can read and write about last published (last created text item display name and content) news.
My questions:
- How can I find text-item description and content in database?
- How I can sort text-items to find latest created in my region?
I have Portal R2
Thanks in advance.

- it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
- OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
- iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
- iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
- Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)
The list could easily extend to ...

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Good Morning. I'm having a problem using both my Photoshop elements and premiere programs. I've installed the programs, redeemed my code and entered the serial numbers, and created the adobe log-in. I am able to open up the organizer without problems, but when I try to open up the photo editor (either by trying to open up the program from the main menu, or right-clicking on a photo in the organizer to edit in elements), the program asks me to sign in to adobe (which I can do and it doesn't give an an "incorrect password" or log-in ID error) then accept the terms and conditions. When I click to accept the terms and conditions, nothing happens and the editor fails to open. Everytime I click on the program, I get this same "loop" of signing in and accepting T&C's, but the program fails to open. Any advice?

Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

Expdp fail and create table SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_20

Hi Gurus
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.3 in AIX env
My database size is around 1600 GB. Sometime my expdp fail and create table like SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_20, SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_05. As I run expdp from system user , I notice that it create this type of table into system tablespace. It time it consume around 5gb space. Now my system tablespace size is 68 GB.
Can I drop those table? If I drop these table then it create any problem? This is my production database.

RabiThose tables you were mentioning, SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_nn , are the data pump master tables used for data pump jobs;their purpose is to
hold the info about the job details.
Once the job has finished table should be droped, but in case of a job failure table remains so every new dp job must create new SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_nn table
with the +1 nn iteration depending on the name of the last master table that was left due to the dp job failure.
Cleaning those tables can be done with the dbms_datapump STOP_JOB Procedure, check the docs about the details :

Way to programmatically drop-and-create-tables?

Hi all,
I have a persistence unit which exists to provide lookup information to my application. It is populated by data that is available at runtime. It takes a long time to parse this data, and therefore my intention is to only parse it once at the deployment target. To do this, I have created a main method that does all the parsing, and I do not set the toplink.ddl-generation property in persistence.xml. This causes the application to fail if the database is not created.
However, this means that during the population stage, I must drop and create any existing tables. I had thought it would be possible to do this by obtaining an EntityManagerFactory which has a property map sent to it, containing the property toplink.ddl-generation set to drop-and-create-tables. But this does not work... the tables are not dropped (if they exist) and are not created (if the database is empty).
Is it possible to do the drop-and-create-tables programmatically using the JPA?
I may have another EntityManagerFactory open at the same time, which has been opened with the default options... would this be conflicting?

I don't think there is any easy way to generate the default tables once your have created the EntityManagerFactory. You could use the EclipseLink/TopLink schemaframework or TableCreator to create tables using a EclipseLink/TopLink DatabaseSession.
There is a DefaultTableGenerator in org.eclipse.persistence.tools.schemaframework, which may give you what you are looking for.

Sections and Automatic Table of Contents

Hello there,
I have encountered a problem with InDesign while trying to make an automatic TOC for a journal I am working on. It has something to do with Sections.
So I have a book with several indd files. The very first indd file is called "frontpages" which includes the cover page, the inside cover, the leaf page, then two facing pages for the table of contents, then followed by the last page (Letter from the Editor).
This is followed by my second indd file called "newsbeats" which has 5 pages.
Now, what I wanted to do was mark the frontpages' page numbers using lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) Of course I do not want to include the cover page and the inside cover, so I want to start (i) with the leaf page, (ii) and (iii) marks the table of contents pages, and finally (iv) for the Editor's Letter. I did this by starting a section at the leaf page, START PAGE NUMBERNG AT: 1, and selecting the (i, ii, iii...) option. It worked, while leavingboth the cover page and and the inside cover with markers (a) and (b), which I previously set (because I do not know how to just get rid of the page number...)
Now, my book pages actually starts page (1) in the first page of the "newsbeats" document. So to do that, I made another section on the newsbeats first page, START PAGE NUMBERING AT: 1, and selected (1, 2, 3...). That works, too.
So at the moment, I have 3 sections to my page numbers: 1) the lower case letters (a, b) section for the cover page and inside cover, respectively; 2) the roman numerals section (i, ii, iii...) for the leafpage, table of contents, and Editor Letter; and lastly, 3) the arabic letters (1, 2, 3...) starting from the newsbeats document all the way to the last page of the last indd of my book.
Hope it is clear enough. Now here comes the problem:
When I try to create an automatic Table of Contents, it correctly finds my chapters (i used the style for each journal article's title) and lists them. The problem is, the page numbers do not appear correctly. Instead, it shows "a" on EACH AND EVERY table of contents ENTRY. I tried some trial and error, and found out that the pages shown (a bunch of "a") is actually the COVER PAGE'S (a) page number....
I tried for hours searching on topics like "Sections and Automatic TOC" or "How to selectively choose which pages to include in a TOC".. But I found none.
Your help would be really appreciated. I can easily manually type the page numbers (my journal only has 9 articles), but I wanted to do this in a very systematic way, so it would be a lot easier if in any case, there are more than 9 articles for next year's publication.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
- Larry
PS: I attached a file showing the generated table of contents (on the ii-iii page that I wanted it to appear on), with the frontpages page panel, which shows the page numbering as well. Also I included the Book Panel, so you see how the pages are set up.

We definitely experienced the same issue. Seems like pages just get lost. This is the approach I took:
On the groups main page we just added a link called 'View All Articles' wrapped in a h1 tag (to make it very big and visible to the user) using the following url:
search/?q=%20
The resulting page will search for every article with a space in it and return the results. Still not the most elegant solution but it works. I'd like to implement it right into the xsl file but haven't found very much documentation to aid in this.

Adjusting page numbering in the Table of Contents

I have a question regarding adjusting page numbering in the table of contents. I have manually adjusted my page numbering to start at page 3, which is now called page 1. But my table of contents still show this page as page 3, while I want it to be shown as page 1.
How do I do this?
I tried to find an answer somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find one. Neither could I find a solution in the help file.
I hope you understand my question. I also included the document, which might be of help. Thank you!

This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
* *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.

Sales Order Items Matrix and RDR1 table

Hi,
I have to change values of some columns in SO item matrix.
For e.g, I need to change the 'order quantity' of a particular SO row.
Is there any mapping between RDR1 table, and the matrix row#?
i.e, if I want to change linenum= 3 and Vis_Row = 3 of a RDR1 row, how can I find out which row# in matrix I have to change?
Generally matrix row# is RDR1.Vis_Row+1, but not always.
The exceptions will be: If there is a text comment in SO, or the lines are deleted,...
Please let me know how I can achieve the mapping.
(I dont want to search in all of the matrix lines for a RDR1 match.)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Geetha
