How to apply a table cell style based on grep search?

Anyone that know how to make a script that searches in an Indesign table for
-> All cells where the text starts with "Banana"
-> And apply cell style "Yellow" to these cells?
I have been searching on forums for somedays and got this tip: https://github.com/seuzo/regex_cellstyle/blob/master/regex_cellstyle.jsx
-> But that script is in japanese and also use dialogs.
All help most appriciated!

Hi Frankeman,
Please try the below code, may it should be helpful:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Banana"
var myFound = myDoc.findText()
for(i=0; i<myFound.length; i++)
if(myFound[i].parent.constructor.name == "Cell")
myFound[i].parent.appliedCellStyle = "Yellow"
Suppose the code is working fine for you, then please click correct answers.

Find a specific paragraph style within a table and apply a specific cell style?

I'm a total beginner when it comes to scripting, but I would like to create a script that finds the paragraph style "resultsUL" within a large table and applies the cell style "female". Sure wish the find/replace was able to account for cell styles as well as paragraph and character styles. Is anyone willing to help me with this? Thank you!

Hi,
I do it quickly defining a simple research on the "resultsUL" para style and using a loop with QuicKeys as:
Cmd-0 is a shortcut associated to the "female" cell style.
So, What I do: search the para style (Cmd-option-F) and apply the cell style, then search again…
As easy to do with QuicKeys, I think that can be easily done with a [JS] (faster process!).

How do I show table paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac)?

Hi community,
I am tryying to apply changes to paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac). But in the list which opens when i click in the triangle only the basis paragraph styles are seen.
Any ideas how and whre i can find theses styles.
Thanks
slyrs

I am sorry that I cannot make myself clear - perhaps because of my language competence
1) There is a table style (for the whole table)
And there are PARAGRAPH-styles for the text-attributes of the text in the table-cells (bold, italic, size, font etc.). I would call this a paragraph-style. This can be seen here:
But this style cannot be edited or changed because it does not show up in the dropdown of the parapgrah-styles - as can be seen here:
You DO NOT FIND the paragraph-style ("Absatzstil" in German) "Tabellenstil 1" in the dropdown.

How to enable a table cell dynamically?

Hi
I have a javafx TableView with editable and non-editable columns. I have set editable columns CellFactory to a custom EditableTextCell.This makes the whole column editable on load of the Scene.
I have one more requirement for the same table. I have to make the table cell editable at runtime based on a flag in item mapped to tablerow. Only a single row cell should get editable not all the cells in column. How to do that? Please suggest.

Perhaps something like this
create or replace view v_myview
as
select id, name, 'table1' as tbl_nm from table1
union all
select id, name, 'table2' from table2
union all
select id, name, 'table3' from table3
union all
select id, name, 'table4' from table4
select name
from v_myview
where id = 101
and tbl_nm = :P101_TABLE_NAME;

How to highlight the table cell color in respective colors as needed per the requirements??

                    </table></td>
---I completely removed the styles for those tables (was background-video, background-audio) because all it had was the background styling (which you said to remove) and can't see any other reason to have it there?
So it's perfect except for the background images are not showing...so did I do something wrong in the fireworks/make transparent process do you think?
Thanks...

How to listener a table cell

I want to listen when value changes Use a TableModelListener
I also would like to activate the new cell value with ENTER keyThis is the default behaviour with the default editors. I suggest you extend the default editor instead of extending the abstract editor

JavaFX2.2 TableView:How to make a table cell be edited without mouse click?

Hi,
I've encounter a problem with editable table cells. I'm using the TableView in my project just as the Tutorial on Oracle (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm).
According to it, I use the setCellFactory method to reimplement the table cell as a text field with the help of the TextFieldTableCell class. However, I found the steps is a little complex to get to the point where the cell can be edited:
1.Let the table cell be selected by using direction key.
2.Press “Enter” to converts the cell to a text filed so that it is ready to be edited.
3.Clicking in the text field allows the contents to be edited
The problem is step 3, that you must use the mouse to click before you can input data in this table cell.
So, is there a solution to avoid step 3? That is the text field allows the data inputting when you just press “Enter”(step 2).
By the way, English is not my native language. Hope I have made myself clear.

Hi,
You need to pass the focus to the text field when the startEditing event occurs. In the class that extends TableCell you use for cellFactory:
public void startEdit() {
super.startEdit();
createTextField();
setText(null);
setGraphic(textField);
* put focus on the textfield so user can directly typed on it
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
getGraphic().requestFocus();
Platform.runLater(r);
}

How do with change table cells from staticText1 to button1 in run time?

I have two question:

how do?
second: I think change table column's order in run time?how do?
ex:
=============change before===========
name age
wtu 22
=============chnage after=============
age name
22 wtu
thanks

Try something like this:
1. Drop a Table. By default it has three columns.
2. Drop a button inside the third column. Set its id property to buttonInColumn3, and set its rendered property to false.
3. Drop another button, this time outside the table. Set its id property to buttonOutsideTable.
4. Double-click the buttonOutsideTable and make the method look as follows:
public String buttonOutsideTable_action() {
//switch the first two columns
List cols = tableRowGroup1.getChildren();
Object col = cols.remove(0);
cols.add(1, col);
//toggle between showing staticText3 and buttonInColumn3 (in the third column)
staticText3.setRendered(!staticText3.isRendered());
buttonInColumn3.setRendered(!buttonInColumn3.isRendered());
return null;
5. Run the application and click the button outside the table several times.

Grep: How to fill a table cell with certain color

I have an excel sheet with 5000 rows that needs to be formatted in Indesign.
1. Is there a way to get a certain color fill of the cell depending on text. Lets say if the text is "apple", the cell should fill with red (and text also color red to make it disappear).
2. How do I make two different character styles to appear in the same cell (information is tab-separeted but sometimes I would like to have 2 "paragraphs" in one cell sometimes – with that I mean two tab-delimited cells from excel to appear in ONE cell in indesign).
Thanks in advance
Example of what I would like to accomplish: http://tinypic.com/r/vo4och/6

Yes but wouldn't that make the field contain a string?
I tried something like that, and every field I edit becomes left-justified, and String (instead of int, float which is right-justified)
