How can I automatically add 1 en-space after 2,000 bold lead-ins?

I have a long list (2000-3000 paragraphs) and each paragraph begins with a bold word. I want to change the normal space character following the bold lead-in to an en-space or maybe some other character without affecting all the other spaces in the document. Is there a way to do this automatically? I don't know how to do scripting or use scripts. Sometimes I've figured out ways to set up Find / Replace to do what I need, maybe with a few different steps, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to accomplish this. I run into similar problems frequently and would love to find ways to do this automatically.

^ is start of Paragraph. () defines a match subgroup, and \w+ means one or more "word characters" so ^(\w+) means find a word at the start of the paragraph. \s is any white space, including returns, so we're finding the first word and any whitespace that follows it.
The change is $1 which stnads for the found text in the first set or parentheses and ~> which is an en space, so we're replacing the first word and space with the first word and an en space.
You can google for a script called WhatTheGREP by jongware, too, that will translate any GREP string for you.

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@ and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@

and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebby

DearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK
HTH,
Randy

InCopy GREP: how can I search for a single space after a sentence?

In the Find/Change box in InCopy, there's a preset GREP command: "Multiple Space to Single Space." In the books I'm working on, we need to do the opposite. I know I should learn regular expressions, and I'd like to, but frankly I'm pressed for time, so here's my question:
What is the exact regular expression I should paste into the Find/Change box to find single spaces before sentences?
Thanks!

In Find, in the GREP area, you need to enter
Find What: \. \S
backslash-period = find a period
tap the spacebar for a space ...there's a space after the period above
backslash-cap S = not whitespace
If you want to change it to two spaces after a period, group the Find expression so you can replace the Found text in the Change to field.
Find What: (\. )(\S)
Change To: $1 $2
(I added a space after $1 so IC adds a second space after the period)

How can I automatically close a PDF document after it is done printing?

Hello all,
To cut to the chase I am using the System Exec.VI to open a PDF with Adobe Reader 8.0 and printing the document. I can do this without a problem. The problem is I would like to have this window close automatically when it is done printing. I have seen on the web that the switch to make this happen is /t, but for some reason my pdf doc is not closing. My command line looks like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "path to the file" "default printer name"
Is there another way to terminate the window not using switches in the command line statement?
I have tried using active x calls to open the doc and print but I am not seeing any print options in the active x calls. I have searched thourgh a large portion of the classes and could not find any print statements. I have also tried opening the doc with the system exec.vi and priting and then closing it with active x but I get an error message back.
Has anyone had any success in opening a pdf doc, printing and then closing the window automatically afterwards?

Hi gammalight,
i use Adobe Reader 7.0 and it works in this way for me. The document is printed with the default printer.

When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
Replaceii[spacebar]
With
I[spacebar]
Press return
Quit System Preferences
Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

How can i clean up my disk space on my MacBook Pro

how can i clean up my disk space on my MacBook Pro something like a disk cleanup on a pc?

Those things you did on your PC you need not worry about on your Mac. Most is done behind the scenes.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

How can I automatically have a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?
Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

My trackball has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Each of the 4 buttons is programmable. The 4 buttons are normally pre-programmed for single-click, double-click, drag and right-click by simply pressing on them
Each of the 4 buttons may be programmed to also have other functions. For example, I programmed "control/single-click" to produce a middle click. I could also have used "shift/single-click" or "alt/single-click" to produce the middle-click. Or I could have similarly programmed double-click or drag or right-click. The Kensington Expert Mouse is quite versatile ... once you get the hang of programming it.
I have had it for about 4 years and I had never had the need to program one of them until you told me about using a middle-click.

Subject: How do I automatically add filenames as keywords?
First, I still don't understand why anyone would want to search by file name if search by keyword was available.
Putting the file name into a keyword essentially defeats the purpose of keywords. If you have 1000 files in your Lightroom Library Module, then you have 1000 distinct keywords, and I can't see how that is useful to anyone.
But the bottom line is that I don't think Lightroom has the capability of putting file name into the keyword field.

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx

The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem.
