Find Hyphenation words in cs6

Hi.
I need to find the hyphenation word with line number at the end of the line,as in the below image.
For these 4 occurence, I used Em dash/En dash/Hyphen/Hyphen for hyphenation. If anyone knows help me.

Hi,
If a word contains more than 1 line, it is hyphenated. But, for the below occurrences is not hyphenated but its also reporting as hyphenated when using the line concept.
1. if url contains more than 1 line
2. word contains dot (.) . if it contains more than 1 line
But actually its not hyphenated
Can anyone help me.

GREP: Find hyphenated word followed by a word

Trying to setup a GREP Style
"prior-year adjustment" - don't want adjustment to hyphenate
"self-review/management" - don't want management to hyphenate
"value-in-use calculation" - don't want calculation to hyphenate
I was thinking I could setup a GREP style so that any word that followed a manually hyphenated word could be set to No Break.
Fairly stumped on this one.

This is weird
\-\w+\s\w+
Will find "-year adjustment"
But it won't apply the "no break" to it.
It has for other words. But once the line breaks over and is hyphenated it won't work.
For the word already autohyphenated it hasn't applied
For the red highlighted one it is applied.
If I override the Body Text style - it works. But not until I do that. And there's no "+" symbol beside the style.
Sort of makes that unworkable for me as it has to apply automatically.

Search and also Copy failed if "_" is in the second part of a hyphenated word. Is it a Bug?

Hello,
we are using PDF for our technical documentation, so we have a lot of variable names like "var_techUsage_true", etc.
We gernerate these pdf files with the apache fop 1.1 processor. In our documents you can find several tables. Sometimes
the cells. are very tiny. In this case we use some hyphenation rules, this works really good for german text, and the tables are
drawn very nice ( without overflows ).
But if you hyphenate a word like "Jesus_latschenhersteller_dachverbandsvorsitzender".
The result will be:
Jesus_latschen-
hersteller_dach-
verbandsvorsit-
zender
Now I tried to search for the "word" the adode reader tells me "nothing found".
If I have some thing like that:"Jesus_latschenherstellerdachverbandsvorsitzender".
The result will be:
Jesus_latschen-
herstellerdach-
verbandsvorsit-
zender
Bingo! the reader will find the "word".
So I take a very close look at the source of the PDFs

Hi Pat,
Adobe Reader 10 and 11.
I want to search a hyphenated Word, what is in our content the name of a programming variable.
For a better readablity we use the "_" to seperate parts. Like "my_first_variable".
Sometimes the names of the variables are very long. Like "this_is_the_longest_name_i_ever_used_in_my_tiny_little_sourcecode".
I did a screen capture.

Problem indexings hyphenized words in PDFs

Hello everyone on this forum
In the new site we are building, I am using Oracle Text to implement the search functionality.
I have problems indexings hyphenized words in PDFs.
The code I used to create the content table and the Oracle Text index, is like follows
CREATE TABLE JMMC_TST_OracleText( article_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
, desc VARCHAR2(30)
, doc BLOB DEFAULT empty_blob()
COMMIT ;
I populated the doc column from a database column in our CMS, containing a PDF document. Just for testing, also populated it from a PDF file, using TOAD for Oracle 8.6.
EXEC CTX_DDL.create_preference( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'BASIC_LEXER' );
EXEC CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'SKIPJOINS', '-' );
EXEC CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'CONTINUATION', '-' );
CREATE INDEX JMMC_TST_INDEX
ON JMMC_TST_OracleText( doc )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ( 'LEXER jmmc_BSJC_lexer2
STOPLIST CTXSYS.EMPTY_STOPLIST' );
COMMIT ;
The following sql
select ctx_report.describe_index('JMMC_TST_INDEX') from dual ;
SELECT err_timestamp, err_text
FROM ctx_user_index_errors
ORDER BY err_timestamp DESC;
shows that indexing went without errors, and index was correctly created.
The word: processo
(that in the PDF is hyphenized visually as
........... pro-
cesso .....
) is indexed as 2 tokens instead of just one token, as the following sql shows
select token_text
from dr$JMMC_TST_INDEX$i
where UPPER(token_text) = UPPER('CESSO')
or UPPER(token_text) = UPPER('PRO') ;
The following query returns 1 result
SELECT SCORE(1), article_id , doc
FROM JMMC_TST_OracleText
WHERE CONTAINS( doc, 'pro cesso', 1) > 0 ;
The following query returns 0 results
SELECT SCORE(1), article_id , doc
FROM JMMC_TST_OracleText
WHERE CONTAINS( doc, 'processo', 1) > 0 ;
Strange thing is, several months ago I tried this test with the same PDF, and everything went by without any problem.
The tests were done on different machines, and on both occasions I used Oracle 10.1.0.5.0.
Looks like I'm overlooking something or maybe some obscure setting (of DB, server or system) is causing the problem.
Suddenly hyphenized words in PDFs, stopped being indexed correctly.
Searched in the manuals and in this forum, and could not find a solution. Any help from anyone in this forum ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody on this forum
As the initiator of this thread, I am glad that after some months, someone else is looking at this issue.
To add/clear to the confusion, I have followed Roger Ford suggestion.
Here’s the test I ran
1) Created a minimal test file (using Windows Notepad) with the following content:
ABC-
DEF
Hex view of above file is:
41 42 43 2D 0D 0A 44 45 46 00
A B C - . . D E F .
2) Created test table
CREATE TABLE JMMC_TST_OracleText(
article_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY
, fmt VARCHAR2(30)
, doc BLOB DEFAULT empty_blob()
The main difference to Roger Ford test case is: my content column is a BLOB instead of a VARCHAR2.
The reason why my doc column is a BLOB, is because the site I’m building, content come from our CMS, and has different types both text and binary (eg Word, PDFs, etc), that I need to index together.
So I use a mixed-content column in a materialized view, to prepare/consolidate/hold all contents I index.
3) I inserted 1 row in above table (using TOAD for Oracle 8.6.), putting my minimal test file in the doc column.
4) Create Preferences and Index
EXEC CTX_DDL.create_preference( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'BASIC_LEXER' );
EXEC CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'SKIPJOINS', chr(45) );
EXEC CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE( 'jmmc_BSJC_lexer2', 'CONTINUATION', chr(45) );
COMMIT;
CREATE INDEX JMMC_TST_INDEX
ON JMMC_TST_OracleText( doc )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ( 'LEXER jmmc_BSJC_lexer2
FILTER CTXSYS.AUTO_FILTER
STOPLIST CTXSYS.EMPTY_STOPLIST
FORMAT COLUMN fmt' );
COMMIT;
Note: the basic lexer SKIPJOINS and CONTINUATION characters, were set the same as the hyphen character used in test file.
5) Tokens indexed:
select token_text from dr$JMMC_TST_INDEX$i
Shows:
ABC
DEF
6) Filter indexed content and generate a plaintext version:
create table JMMC_filtertab (
query_id number
, document clob
commit ;
begin
ctx_doc.filter( 'JMMC_TST_INDEX', '1', 'JMMC_filtertab', '11', TRUE);
end;
Hex view of plaintext version is:
41 42 43 2D 20 20 44 45 46 00
A B C - D E F .
Note that the original end-of-line chars (0D 0A) were replaced by 2 SPACES.
It looks like the filter replaces end-of-line chars by SPACES, and feeds the lexer, with something like:
ABC- DEF (instead of: ABC-DEF) ;
So the poor lexer, sees 2 tokens and has no clue they originally were only one hyphenised token.
This is consistent with what Meta Link Note 124624.1 - Intermedia Text & Continuation Character ('-') in PDF says.
7) Just for comparison the result of Roger Ford test (using a VARCHAR column instead of a BLOB) is:
Hex view of the filtered plaintext version is:
61 62 63 2D 0D 0A 64 65 66 00
a b c - . . d e f .
So the main difference seems to be different filtering behaviour for BLOB or VARCHAR columns, in dealing with end-of-line chars.
I have also tried other combinations of INDEX/LEXER preferences (i.e. SKIPJOINS/CONTINUATION/FILTER/NEWLINE,etc), and different file types (WORD,PDF) which means I also tested with “true binary content” and different end-of-line chars.
No matter what I tried, results were all the same: if I index a BLOB column, I’m not able to index hyphenized lines correctly.
According to the manuals, the CTXSYS.AUTO_FILTER were supposed to deal correctly with mixed-content columns if given the correct information (ie FORMAT COLUMN)
Hope this triggers a response from someone.
Thanks to all the people that took time to look at this problem.

How can I configure hyphenation settings so that InDesign does not hyphenate already hyphenated word

For example:
twenty-seven
It's okay to break at the hypen in the word, but I don't want either twenty or seven to be hyphenated. Is it possible to configure this in the hyphenation instructions? I don't see a way to do it other than manually adding every hyphenated word to the user dictionary.
Thanks!

A super-easy way to prevent this is to add a discretionary hyphen after the hyphen in a hyphenated word. This can be easily accomplished by doing a global find-and-replace.
Find: -
Replace: -^-
This will allow all hyphenated words to break ONLY after the hyphen.
Hyphenation settings should be determined based on the overall text. It is good to specify the minimum characters a word should have to be hyphenated — to prevent the hyphenation of very short words — but if you set that minimum too high just to avoid double hyphenated words, you may end up with too loose lines of text.

How to find a word written with two fonts...?

Hi,
I have a 200+ pages document that contains some words with the first letter in Times regular and the rest in Times italic. Is there any way to find those words in the document?
Thanks

Ooooo, Dave ....
Annabelle, a non scripting solution is the following.
You cannot search for words with multiple fonts. However, since you can search for words in one font, you can exclude 'good' ones.
I will be assuming you have a regular document, with just black text ...
In Search & Replace, GREP, search for "\b\w+\b" with a font style of "Regular" and replace with formatting: text color red. Be sure not to accidentally put anything in the replace text field -- it should be entirely empty. Now all entirely Regular words are red.
Repeat with the font style "Italic". Now all words that are entirely Regular or Italic are in red.
Search for "\b\w+\b" with a text color of Black. This will find all words that are neither entirely in Italic nor entirely in Regular.
In case you never used it before, the GREP expression means "a word boundary -- one or more word characters -- a word boundary". Essentially, it does a 'Find entire word' for any length of words.
Note that if you have words in, say, bold, bold italic, or 46 Light Italic, you will have to mark these as well with the check colour, or else you'll also find them 'bad'.
You might want to create a new swatch for marking, so you can delete it afterwards, replacing with Black again.
... Are you familiar with how to use scripts? It might be a bit easier if I wrote a tiny script, although my method will find all rogue formatted text.

The Firefox find function seems to have become CAPS or non-caps specific, so that typing a word in non-caps will not find matching words with one or more capital letter.

The find function seems to have changed in Firefox. Before, when doing a (CTRL + F) find, the search was not CAPS-specific or non-caps-specific. In other words, if I typed in "firefox" (no caps), it would find the words "firefox", Firefox", or "FIREFOX", regardless of capitalization. Now, however, the find function will only match the exact same capitalization. This totally undermines the usefulness of the function, and is a major hassle. Please fix it.

Find/Change words (with GREP) and apply a style...

I need a Script for Find/Change words with GREP, and apply a paragraph style...
Thanks...

Hi Marcos,
If you want the script to create character styles: Bold , Italic, Bold Italic, etc, and replace local formatting with these styles, use scripts in post #3.
But if you want find and change words, or/and replace local formatting with styles defined by you, use FindChangeByList script.
If the latter, I recommend you to download and install Record Find Change script (written by Martin Fisher).
Then choose settings you need in Find-Change dialog – make sure they work as expected – and run Record Find Change script. A Notepad/TextEdit file will pop up with a line containing the recorded setting. Copy it, open FindChangeList.txt, delete the contents of this file and paste the line you just copied (or add it to the bottom of the file).
Repeat the process for all find-change operations you need.
Finally run FindChangeByList.jsx to make all changes in one go.
However, while using Record Find Change script, you may encounter a problem: it doesn’t record paragraph and character styles placed inside a group. But you can write references to such styles like so:
appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1"). paragraphStyles.item("Paragraph Style 1")

How to find a word with different font format (e.g. italic and regular in one word)

Hi people,
I need to find a word, prefferably using GREP or simple Find/Replace tool.
Sometimes, when I get source text to paste into InDesign, some word's format is messed up. First letter is italic and rest is regular or otherwise (or any other font format). How can I find such words automatically. For example:

would really appreciate any help.

How do I find duplicate words in a Numbers spreadsheet?

Hello, I've created my first document on Numbers and am trying to figure out how to find duplicate words. Ideally, a list of words that repeat in the document and how many times. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for the advice

It's easy enough to find and count duplicate entries, especially if they are all in a single column, but if you want to count individual words within multi word entries, the problem is more complicated.
Here's an example for the 'simple' case, using a familiar 155 word passage from English literature.
The words in the passage are separated into a single line for each word, and stripped of all punctuation. This may be done in Pages, or in Text edit, or in pretty much any word processing software or text editor. Paste the passage into a WP or text document, then use the application's Find/Replace feature to replace all of the spaces with returns. I would also do a second pass replacing all double returns with single returns, then repeat that until Find/Replace reported replacing zero occurrences.
Punctuation was stripped using Find/Replace
The prepared list was pasted into column A of a Numbers table.
Formulas:
B2: =COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
C2: =IF(AND(B>1,B=COUNTIF($A,A2)),ROW()-1,999999)
Fill both down their respective columns to the end of the table.
The small table is inserted as a Basic table using the Tables button. It contains a Header row, but no Header columns.
Formula:
A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Table 1 :: $C,ROW()-1),COLUMN()-1),"")
Fill right into B2, then fill both down to the end of the table.
Descriptions of the functions used, along with their syntax and at least one example of their use in a table are available in the Numbers '09 User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.

Barry

Where is the list of hyphenated words located in mac os x

I would like to create a list of words in Armenian for auto-hyphenation. Is there a way I can create this list and install it where the English hyphenated word list is installed, so that any word processor can auto-hyphenate an Armenian text?
After collecting the words and making the word bank, I need to know:
1. How to create the hyphen? whether by inserting hard hyphen? or soft hyphen? or some other character that Mac OS X will interpret it as auto-hyphen sign.
2. What format should I save this list? RTF, textonly, etc.
3. Where should I install this file?

>> Once I know what those numbers represent
I would suspect--though I don't know for certain--that the hyphenation-marking digits work as in other UNIX programs. Here are two leads:

           int nLines = 0;
           while ((line = inputFile.readLine()) != null)
                nLines++;
               System.out.println(findTheIndex(line));
           inputFile.close();
     public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
          String result = "";
          String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
          for (String s1: s){
               for (String s2: days){
                    if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                         if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                                         }else if (s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                                          }What is wrong with it because I tried to find "every Tuesday" in
myfile.txt: "Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday"
There is big problem with split statement because it takes each word not more than a word.
I need to have "every Tuesday" not "Tuesday". How to make it correct codes?

I am going to give you a picture of how the output will look.
Here are two sentences from myfile.txt:
Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday
Meet with research students on Thursday
I need to read from myfile.txt and to find specific words in each sentences like this output:
Every Tuesday : Go fishing
Every Wednesday : Go fishing
Thursday : Meet with research students
Ok. make sense? Now I am trying to figure out how to find specific words in each sentence from myfile.txt.
That is why I have difficult with the splits statement and loops. Like this:
     public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
          String result = "";
          String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
          for (String s1: s){
               for (String s2: days){
                    if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                         if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("Thursday")){
                         }else{
                              System.out.println("That sentence is not working");
          return result;
}So look at the "Thursday" it is working the output because I have split statement to give me only one word not more than
a word in sentence. So there is big problem with more than a word in sentence like this "every Tuesday" and it won't work at all because of split. Could you please help me how to do that? I appreciated for that help. Thanks.

Grep to find any word NOT in quotes

Hi
Can someone help me with this grep
I need to find all words that are NOT in quotation makrs
For example:
Hello and "Good Morning"
I would want to find the words:
     Hello
     and
but not the words:
     Good
     Morning
I tried with lookahead and lookbehind like this:
(?!=")\w+(?!")
but it just selects one character less
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
Thanks in advance
Davey

Hey guys!
Thanks a lot for your help!
@Beginner_X
     Your first grep was almost perfect, however, it didnt find the first word of a story (since it didnt follow a space or a return)
     Your second post worked perfectly!! - Thanks a lot
@csm_phil
     I was looking to select each word separately, not consecutive words - although this will also come in handy
     Your grep worked, however I had to add the question mark to make it ungreedy
     because if the sentence had 2 quoted words, it would select from the beginning of the line till the last quote
@Laubender
     For some reason your grep is functioning just like mine - it finds the word Good and Morning
Thanks again
Davey
