GREP: Bolding a title in quotes at the beginning of a paragraph

Hi,
I trying to use GREP within a paragraph style to bold the title of a listing at the start of a paragraph. I want to limit it to the first set of quotation marks, and leave any other characters within quotes in that paragraph un-bolded.
I used the expression below, which i thought would start at the beginning of a paragraph (^), left quotation mark (~{), any character, any number of times (.+), followed by a right quotation mark (~}), followed by a space (\s), zero or one times, shortest match (+?).
^~{.+~}\s+?
Unfortunately, it bolds everything through the next right quotation mark. (See sample below).
What can I add to the expression to restrict the GREP to find just the first set of quotes? These would be titles that may have multiple words or numbers in the title.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to use GREP, try this one:
^".+?"
or delete the space from yours
^~{.+~}
I can't say why, but your expression worked as soon as I took the space out of play.

  • Simplest way to display a title or caption at the beginning of each scene?

    I am editing a video to make an instructional dvd covering 23 separate lessons. Without some kind of text in the first few seconds of each scene, there is no way for the viewer to quickly and efficiently distinguish one scene from another as they jump forward or backward from scene to scene. They would have to go back to the main menu between each scene to find the one they're looking for, and that's cumbersome.
    I would like to add a caption/title (not sure what the technical Adobe term is -- I'm obviously an amateur) to the screen at the beginning of each scene. It can be a text overlay on top of the video, or it can be a blacked out screen (or whatever) with text that lasts a few seconds before each scene begins. I just need something to let the viewer know which lesson they are about to see.
    I went through the footage and added scene markers at appropriate places, and the menu is functional. Now I'm looking for the most efficient (least time-consuming) way to accomplish my goal. It looks like one alternative is to manually split the clips at each scene change, then go to sceneline and insert a title between each scene, then manually type in the text that corresponds to my description of each scene. I hope this isn't the only, or the most efficient way.
    Anyone know a simpler alternative? The simpler the better, as only a few people will be using the dvd so I don't want the cost (measured in editing time and effort) to outweigh the benefit of viewer convenience. Thanks in advance.

    I agree with Steve G. on adding the Titles from the PrE Titler function. Also, being new to PrE, this article on Titler might be useful, before you get tripped up by a few aspects of a New Title: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976998#4976998

  • Title and image at the beginning of video pixelated

    Am a bit puzzelled about a sudden pixelation of titles and still images at the beginning of a video. I'm working on a small video and would like to start it with a company logo (PSD file) and some simple text (made in FCP with the 'Text' effect). Before rendering everything looks good, but after rendering, the very first frame of the video (the title) becomes very pixelated. I've done this many times before and never had any issues, so really don't know what's going on.
    I read about the bug in FCP 7.02 with using still images at the beginning of a sequence (and then renaming all clips) - does this has something to do with it?
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    All elements in EA always appear over the entire timeline...unless you tell them not to do so. Try using Display keyframes to show and hide elements over time.
    You can also use Opacity keyframes in the same way, or even position the image outside of the Stage bounds, if you prefer to do it one of those ways.

  • How to insert a character and paragraph break at the beginning of a paragraph using Grep

    Dear Community!
    I am stucked...
    I have several books in indesign, which I want to export into epub. I have a standardized procedure, to be able to assign the task to students.
    My problem i I have a paragraph style 'heading2' and I would like to insert a paragraph break before which is styled 'new page'.
    Here is the theory I have thought about:
    -with find and change find the style 'heading2'
    -insert a special character + paragraph break before the first character of the paragraph
    -with a second find and change find the special character
    -replace with nothing and style with 'new page'
    My question is how to insert with grep (?) before the first character anything.
    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance

    Look in the flyout panel of your Paragraph panel.

  • How to create links that guide you to a specific title on the page and not the beginning of the page?

    I'm trying to create links so that when you click on a title in the table of contents it guides you to the title on the specific page. However, when I do that it always sends me to the beginning of the page even if the title is in the bottom. Anyone knows how to do if I want to get to the title and not to the beginning of the page? When I use Finereader it create links from the table of contents automatically and those links send me to the title no mater where it is on the page. I've tried do edit the settings to look like those links created in Finereader but it doesn't work.

  • Want to Insert Text at Beginning of a Paragraph Using GREP

    I'd like to find the beginning of a paragraph and insert a text (that uses a specific character style) into that paragraph. Below is how I've set up the find/change:
    It almost works. The phrase "SECOND ITEM IS FREE!" is inserted at the beginning of the paragraph, which is what I want. But the first letter of the word that was originally at the beginning of the paragraph picks up the character style used on the inserted text. How do I insert the text without changing the character style of the existing text?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas on this

    [Jongware] wrote:
    (Short) Can't be done.
    (Long) Well, it can, but not in a single replace. You'd have to first insert the text, then assign the correct character style.
    (Slightly longer) You are physically re-inserting that final character, and so it will get that character style assigned. The usual way of finding-but-not-marking is to use a positive lookahead; but that doesn't work, because you would end up with two locations (the caret and the lookahead), and InDesign's particular implementation of GREP does not allow that. (Or rather -- irritatingly -- sometimes it seems to work if you press the Find button, but then a Change All is not going to work.)
    So that's why you have to insert at least one character in the Find What, and re-insert it in the Replace With fields.
    If all instances of the specific paragraph style need the prefixed text in a specific character style, consider redefining the paragraph style's autonumbering to include text and character style. Redefine the style, and all instances in the current document are changed. All future uses of the style automatically use the prefixed text and style. To update existing instances of the style in other documents with the new definition, use load paragraph styles; to apply the new definition to to other documents in an InDesign book, synchronize the styles. Search Google for terms like "InDesign paragraph styles numbered lists," "InDesign load styles," and "InDesign synchronize styles in book," without quotes for details.

  • GREP to find string of quotes

    I have some strange "strings" of quotes for which I need to search where there are consecutive single and double quotes with nothing between them. So "'"'Wording here.'"' More here."
    Can GREP be used to find a string of quotes that might consist of any number or combination of single and double quotes? The string would consist of either all open or all close quotes but could be any combination of double and single, starting or ending with double or single.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    ['"]+
    (that's a single and a double quote inside the brackets) If you do this with typographer's quotes turned on [..]
    For the finding part, there is no need to toggle smart quotes off or on. For example, a single ' will find all three variants, whereas ~[ will only match curly open, ~] curly closed, and ~' only straight ones.
    Other than that, yeah, you want to make sure anyway Curly Quotes is active for the replacements.

  • How can I will declare the symbol u2018 (Single Quote) in the report

    Hi ,
    Could you please tell me how can I will declare the symbol u2018 (Single Quote) in the report.
    My requirement is that I have concate the data with single quote and after that I have to store the data in to an internal table and I have to download the data in the form text file in the presentation server.
    For example :
    Let the below data I want to download into the presentation serve in the format of text file by storing in internal table.
    Assume all are constants:
    1st line : abcu2019add
    2nd line :  defu2019gef
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jyothi,
    Thanks for the quick reply .
    I can agree with you are point but My requirement is like this I am explaining clearly.
    I have declared the internal table like this.
    DATA: BEGIN OF OTAB OCCURS 0,
             LINE (9024),
           END OF OTAB.
    So I have to append the each line item into the internal table.
    So I am explaining what the data I have to append
    Ist line contains
    'UNBUNOC:2020308u2019 where 020308 I will get the  date from reguh table
    2nd line contains:
    'DTM+20020510' where the 20020510 will be reference document number from the table reguh.
    So I want to declare a constant 'UNBUNOC:2
    2nd the date from reguh table
    And another constant u2018
    So that I can concate all the three and I can put into string and I will append into internal table and I can download the data into the presentation server.
    Please let me know if you need any more clarification regarding my requirement.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

    I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?
    Sharon

    My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar!

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Can a single quote be used at the beginning of a query string parameter

    Hi all,
    I am a relative newbie and have a newbie question.
    Can a single quote be used at the beginning of a query string parameter passed to a jsp page? Are there any inherant problems with this? Is there a comprehensive list of characters that must be escaped in a query string parameter?
    Example: http://mysite.com/myjsp.jsp?param1='nghdh
    Thanks

    You'll have to escape most non-letter characters before you can pass them as a URL. I don't know if it's necessary for a single quote, but better safe than sorry.
    Either use java.net.URLEncoder(...) or use javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL(String). I wouldn't recommend using unescaped characters in your URLs, that might cause pretty funny behavior that's sometimes hard to trace back. Don't worry about decoding it, your JSP/Servlet container will do it when you call javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getParameter(String).

  • I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Anyone have a solution?

    I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

    I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
    However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

  • Can I get my title to show on the photo image?

    I have titles for each of my photos that I see in thumbnail view but I would like the title to be on the photo so when I move it to Keynote the title is on the photo for the presentation. Anyone know how to do this without putting it on manually?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Larry:
    There is no way to have the title added automatically to the photo. It will have to be done manually with a 3rd party editor likeAcorn or Seashore.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • First podcast uploaded with the wrong title? It is using the title of one of the podcasts and not showing the name only of the speaker?

    I uploaded 7 podcasts using Podomatic. iTunes is using the titles of one of the podcasts as the title for the page. I need to change the page title and also remove my name (not sure why my name was posted instead of the name of the podcast speaker). Do I need to delete the whole Album and start over, or can I edit the title? https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/accelerating-your-due-season/id659519611. Thanks for help. This is my first time doing this.

    iTunes is simply reproducing what is in the relevant tags in the feed:
    <title>Attracting the Glory - Dr. Russell Plilar</title>
    <itunes:author>Maureen Brichetto</itunes:author>
    You need to change them in Podomatic wherever you originally entered the data and republish the feed. The Store should pick up the changes after a couple of days or so, though it's possible it might not do so until you post a new episode.
