How do I find and replace recurring images?

I was wondering if I could find and replace recurring thumbnails in a document. I actually want to delete the specific thumbnail in mass.

Then Paste and Match Style option shift command v to remove the graphics.
It is under the Edit menu of most OSX apps.
There are also utilities that remove all styles and other formatting automatically for you when you do a simple copy and replace.

How do I find and replace a word in PDF?

In the Find window (Ctrl+F) there's an option to replace the searched text.
This is in Acrobat XI, and there's no Replace All-function.

How do I find and replace text in PHP files?

How can I in CS3 make sitewide changes to the text in PHP pages without changing variable names etc that have the same name?
For example if I have an installation of a PHP forum and I want to change every instance of the word 'forum' to 'message board'...
If I used the 'inside tag' search with " as the tag, then if "" contained a variable called 'forum' it would also be changed and therefore corrupt the code....
Is there a simple way around this?
Thanks!
I'm using CS3 on Windows Vista.

It looks like you're trying to find and replace source code, so you may be able to look at the various places that are looked at when finding and uncheck the ones that don't apply.
But, if it's all source code then that won't help. One thing that may work is to expand the search option - for example if the work "forum" that you're wanting to change it preceded by another word, or character or something that sets it apart, then do you find on that. You can expand that search phrase as far out in either direction that you need to to make it different, if of course that is practical in your situation.
The only other way I can think of is to somehow create an exception rule, but I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.

How do you find and replace "within selected text" in a textedit document (version 1.8, mountain lion)

In the textedit version on Snow leopard it was possible to search and replace within a peice of selected text only i.e. not the entire file. This was a very useful feature because you could select a paragraph and replace all occurences of word1 with word2 within that paragraph only! This feature appears to be missing from the mountain lion version of textedit (version 1.8). Or can anyone tell me how to do it ... ?

Having 46 people view a post without replying is not unusual. Some people look at a question to see if it's something they'd like to know the answer to, and then come back when it has eventually been answered.
I'm not sure if you need to escape forward slashes in Dreamweaver's Find and Replace dialog box, but I normally do because both JavaScript and PHP normally use forward slashes as delimiters to mark the beginning and end of the regex like this:
var pattern = /[A-Z]{4}/; // JavaScript
$pattern = '/[A-Z]{4}/'; // PHP
When a forward slash appears inside the regex, you need to escape it with a backslash to avoid confusion with the closing delimiter.
As you have worked out, a capturing group is created by wrapping part of the regex in parentheses.
If you want to match exactly 38 characters, you can use [\S\s]{38}. That includes spaces, newline characters, symbols, everything.
If you're trying to find everything between two tags, you can do this:
(<\/tag_name>)([^<]+)
The closing tag is captured as $1 and everything up to the next opening tag is captured as $2.
Learning regular expressions is not easy. I don't claim to be an expert, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to solve them. If you're interested in regular expressions, there are several books published by O'Reilly. "Mastering Regular Expressions" is the ultimate authority, but it's a difficult read (not because it's badly written, but because of the complexity of the subject). "Regular Expressions Cookbook" is very good. There's also a new "Introducing Regular Expressions", but I haven't read it.

How can i find and replace xml tags?

Hi, i am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove certain tags if they contain particular text.
here is an example of my xml structure…
<entry>
    <name>DEFAULT</name>
    <tel>DEFAULT</tel>
    <address>DEFAULT</address>
</entry>
I am using this initial structure to set the paragraph styles to be followed when the xml data is imported.
This leaves DEFAULT in place wherever an entry doesn't have any content for that field.
I want to be able to import my XML then run a script that removes any tags that include DEFAULT, - I need the entire xml tag to be removed not just the text, if i do a normal find and replace it will only remove the text not the tags which is causing problems with styling. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^p) that i've placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same as opening up story editor and removing the content + tags + hard return in there, but i want to automate the process…
So i think this is what i need to search for in each case
"<name>DEFAULT</name>^p"
and i want to replace it with nothing ""
Can this be done through scripting (ideally javascript)?
I have a little knowledge of javascript but am not sure how to search and target that kind of string in indesign...
using indesign cs5
many thanks

Hi,
Script should do it in two steps:
1. find all occurences of i.e. ">DEFAULT<"
2. remove whole paragraph which is a found_text's container.
For example this way -JS - (a textFrame filled with your text should be selected) :
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
var myF = mStory.findText();
var count = myF.length;
while (count--)
     myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

How to use Find and Replace for CR or TAB

How can I use PAGES 'Find and Replace' function to eliminate unwanted carriage returns or Tabs?
I tried to copy the backwards P and paste into Pages find window, but that doesn't work.

Copying & pasting should work, but it isn't necessary. In the Find & Replace fields hold down the Option key & hit the return or tab key.

How to prevent find and replace from finding linked files?

I have a bunch of ASP pages that I need to update in the same manner with Find and Replace. In order to do this, I open all the files, use Find and Replace, and choose to Replace All in the Source Code of Open Documents.
Pretty straightforward, right? Except, if I have any include file statements, such as this:

DW opens these files on its own, and updates THEM as well.
This is a very frustrating behavior. I have been through the Preferences several times and I'm just not seeing any way to turn this off.
I have tried Googling this problem, and have seen absolutely no mention of it.
Does anyone know if this annoyance can be disabled?
Thanks.

I would try selecting the specific files in the Files tab, then using "Selected Files in Site" and see what happens.
I think DW considers related files to be "open" (since you can edit them from within the main file they are related to) when that option is turned on and the files they're related to are open.

How do i find and delete duplicate images in Photos? Help please!!

With all the image sharing me and other half do my Photos library is FULL of duplicate images.. I need a quick and easy way to find and delete them. I've tried a couple of the free apps in the app store, but because the Photos library isn't a regular folder, they won't work! My library is way to
big to manually scan through too.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
Best regards,

How do I find and delete large images in iPhoto 11?

Hi!
I have a large iPhoto library containing more than 16000 images, among them a slew of HD movies. Some of these images and movies can be deleted and I would like to find the largest ones in order to save them on an external drive and remove them from the library. Is there any way to sort all images by filesize?
Thanks for any help!
Kind regards,
Anders

Find and replace using wildcard

I've inserted table content using Insert/Table Objects/Insert Tabular Data in DWCS3 and want to remove unwanted code from the table insert.
Example:
<td width=156 valign=top style='width:117.0pt;border-top:none;border-left:
none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-left-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;
mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;background:#FF8A50;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:CurrentPosition'><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>
The text between "width" and "Arial'" varies but these two start and end words are the same in each instance to be replaced - how can I find and replace using a regular expression wildcard? Have researched on web but not come across answer yet. I thought it might be simple and hopefully it is and I'm just having a shocker. Is it something like Find: "<td [^"]*> and Replace with: "<td>"? Am I close?
I'd appreciate anyone's help and thankyou in advance for your time.

You might be able to sort this out with Commands > Clean Up Word HTML.
However, the following regular expression should also do what you're looking for (make a backup first). Put this in the Find field:
(<td)[\w\W]+?Arial\'(>)
Put this in the Replace field:
$1$2
Select "Use regular expression".

Find and replace m2 and m3 to subscripts

Now I change m2 and m3 to what on the clipboard. But that doesn't work when I have m2 and m3 in different colors and different fonts tru the lay-outs.
How can I find and replace m2 and m3 to m subscript 2 and m subscript 3?
Only m2 not 2 alone.
Many thanks

Your "Only m2 not 2 alone" seems to contradict what you wrote earlier, but I guess that what you want is to style 2 and 3 only when they are preceded by m. If that's the case, do this in the grep tab of the Find/Change dialog:
Find what: (?<=m)[23]
Change to: <leave empty>
Change format: select subscript.
(?<=. . .) is a so-called lookbehind, [. . .] a character class. (?<=m) means 'preceded by' and [23] stands for '2 or 3'.
