How to get level text in long document

Is there an easy way to ensure text is level (ie on same horizontal line) when looking across columns, spreads and even throughout a long book style document?

Depends on wheter you have paragraphs that use different leading values mixed together. If the leading is the same throughout, the the text should align automatically.
If not, you probably want to set up a baseline grid. You do that in the preferences. Set the spacing to the value of the leading for your body text and add align to grid to the style definition. You probably don't want to use align to grid with other styles whose leading is different because the grid willovveride the leading value and you will wind up with wider line spacing than you expect. Adding space before to something like a heading can help to mitigate extra space between the heading and the following text.

How to get a text between two XML tags?

Hello everybody!
I've got a problem! How can I extract a text that is between tags, like <myTag> My text </myTag> I have no problem to get the attributes inside the tags, however, i don't know how to get some text that is between tags. Here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tangram_request service_id="3">
<send keep_session="nada">
<source></source>
<destination>3196931566</destination>
<channel_id>2</channel_id>
<text>Teste ServerSocket!!!</text>
</send>
</tangram_request>
Now, there's a fragment of my code, which gets some tags' attributes:
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
InputSource resp = new InputSource(new StringReader(XML));
parser.parse(resp);
Document doc = parser.getDocument();
Node node =(doc.getElementsByTagName "tangram_request")).item(0);
if (node instanceof Element)
Element el = (Element) node;
service_id = el.getAttribute("service_id");
System.out.println("\n\nService_id="+service_id);
}else{System.out.println("Erro");}
node = (doc.getElementsByTagName("send")).item(0);
if (node instanceof Element)
Element el = (Element) node;
keep_session = el.getAttribute("keep_session");
System.out.println("keep_session="+keep_session);
}else{System.out.println("Erro");}
Now, I want to get the texte between <destination> ... </destination>
How could I do that?
Thanks a lot
Calegari

Thanks... It worked fine!!!
Now how can I get lots of <desctination>... I did something that haven't worked...
node = (doc.getElementsByTagName("destination")).item(0);
while(node.hasChildNodes())
destination = node.removeChild(node.getFirstChild()).getNodeValue();
System.out.println("destination="+destination);
And now, my XML is like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tangram_request service_id="3">
<send keep_session="nada">
<source></source>
<destination>3196931566</destination>
<destination>3196931567</destination>
<channel_id>2</channel_id>
<text>Teste ServerSocket!!!</text>
</send>
</tangram_request>
Thanks so much!

How to get the text present in JTextArea

i am writing application for some system to be computerised and i am not getting how to get the text present in text area and set it into database...can anybody suggest me solution??

You must have named the TextArea like
JTextArea textArea;so, use the getText() method like
String strTextAreaContents = textArea.getText();You can then use JDBC to connect to the database that you want and save your contents that is now in strTextAreaContents.

How to get Sales Text & Purchase Order Text in MM based on (MSEG-MATNR)

Hi
Am working on a Report based on Purchase order & Sales, Could any body tell How to get Sales Text & Purchase Order Text in MM based on (MSEG-MATNR).
the Field i need to get are : SALES TEXT, PO TEXT.
Sunil.

Hi Sunil,
For getting Material PO text and sales text, you have to rely on Purchase Order and Sales Order. And use READ_TEXT function module to fetch the text.
Below are examples of PO text and Sales Text:
1. PO text:
    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
     EXPORT
       ID = 'F03'
       LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
       NAME = '450000011200010' conacte PO number and line item number
       OBJECT = 'EKPO'
     TABLES
       LINES = INT_TLINES "you will get text in this table
2. Sales order text:
        CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
     EXPORT
       ID = '0001'
       LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
       NAME = '0000000036000010' conacte SO number and line item number
       OBJECT = 'VBBP'
     TABLES
       LINES = INT_TLINES "you will get text in this table
ref: STXH and STXL tables.
Hope it will solve the problem.

If it wasn't OCRed in Acrobat then you can only use the non-text commenting tools, like the Square or Polygon. Press Ctrl+E to open the Properties bad and you could make it look like a text highlight annotation.

How to get selected text values in a textarea by mouse click?

Hi Everyone,
What I am trying to do is to click on some texts in a textarea, then get the selected text value.
If you guys have used an accounting software called Simply Accounting, you might understand better.
I list all my customer names in a textarea. What I want is, when I click on one customer, another GUI pops up with this customer's information. My problem is that I don't know how to get the selected text value from a textarea.
Could anyone give a hand here? Thank you in advance.

Is there some reason you aren't using a JList or
JTable to display
the user names/information?Thank you for es5f2000's reply. You just gave me a better idea! There is not a particular reason I have to use TextArea to list my customers. As long as the component can make my idea alive, I definitely use it. Still, if there is any way to get a selected text value, it will help me a lot with my project. Thank you.

How to get the text in a label which is imbeded in a JTextPane

I have created a JTextPane that has 5 JLabels inserted in the text. I have attempted to get the text with the following code snippet.
Component[] lbl = new Componennt[DisplayLetterPane.getComponentCount()];
//         JTextPane DisplayLetterPane; is defined previously
         lbl = DisplayLetterPane.getComponents();
         int componentIndex = 0;
         String lblText = new String(((JLabel)lbl[componentIndex]).getText());I have run a dump of the sytledDocument of the JTextPane and I see the JLabel listed as a component.
When this snippet is executed I get the following:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.text.ComponentView$Invalidator
When I check the character where the component for the JLabel is located in the styled document it does not find an instanceof JLabel.
How can I get the text from the labels.
Thank you in advance!

JTextPane jtp = new JTextPane();
          for (int i = 0; i <5; i++) {
               jtp.add(new JLabel("labelText"+i));
          Component[] lbl = new Component[jtp.getComponentCount()];
//      JTextPane DisplayLetterPane; is defined previously
      lbl = jtp.getComponents();
      int componentIndex = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < lbl.length; i++) {
           System.out.println(((JLabel)lbl).getText());
When I do like the above, it just works fine. Can u share a little bit more of your code?

How to get Vendor Text in BBP_POC in SRM for Smartforms?

Hi Guys,
I kept looking for ways on how to get the Vendor Text in BBP_POC transaction to be used in our Zsmartforms; unfortunately, I was not able to identify how.
In ECC system, I could get the long text through double-clicking on the text area and go to GOTO>HEADER>Technical name (TEXTID, Langu, etc).
How about in SRM PO (BBP_POC)?
Please suggest some ways.
Thanks and regards,
Reymar

I used some GET_DETAIL FMs to get the vendor text.

How to get formatted text into arrays

Dear experts and helpers,
For my project I import an RTF file and then read the data from it into 3 arrays. This works fine when just using the string contents of the paragraphs. However, the final script should be able to read and replace formatted text...
Why use the intermediate arrays? Because otherwise I need to switch back and forth between two fm-documents (and one may be a book component).
The imported file starts with a number of lines separated into two items by a TAB (» denotes a TAB, in FM \x08)
[[Garneau, 1990 #12]]    »   [9]
The right item may also be locally formatted text, e.g. [9]
Then follow the same (or smaller) number of paragraphs with formatted text like this:
[9] » D. Garneau, Ed., National Language Support Reference Manual (National language Information Design Guide. Toronto, CDN: IBM National Language Technical Centre, 1990.
Is it possible to replace in the body of the function below the following piece
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
with this
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    gaBibliography.push(pgf);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
Do I need a special declaration of the array gaBibliography ?
And how to get the right part of the intro lines as formatted thingy into array gaFmtCitsFmt ?
Currently I read into arrays only the 'strings' (function GetText not shown):
var gaFmtCitsRaw = [];                           // left column in processed RTF
var gaFmtCitsFmt = [];                           // right column in processed RTF
var gaBibliography= [];                           // bibliography lines from processed RTF
// filename is something like E:\_DDDprojects\FM+EN-escript\FM-testfiles\BibFM-collected-IEEE.rtf
function ReadFileRTF (fileName) {
var nCits=0, nBib = 0, openParams, openReturnParams, newDoc, pgf, pgfText ;
var TAB = String.fromCharCode(8);               // FM has wrong ASCI for TAB
var parts = [];
openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams();
openReturnParams = new PropVals();
newDoc = Open (fileName, openParams, openReturnParams);
pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; // get first pgf in flow
// --- read the temp/formatted citations
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    if (pgfText.substring (0,2) == "[[") {        // citation lines start with [[
      parts = pgfText.split(TAB);                 // get the two parts of the line
      gaFmtCitsRaw.push (parts[0]);               // Push the result onto the global array
      gaFmtCitsFmt.push (parts[1]);
      pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
    } else { break }
// --- read the bibliography
while(pgf.ObjectValid()) {                      // until end of doc
    pgfText = GetText (pgf, newDoc);
    gaBibliography.push(pgfText);
    pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
newDoc.Close (Constants.FF_CLOSE_MODIFIED);
} // --- end ReadFileRTF
The next questions then will be how to modify Ian Proudfoot's FindAndReplace script to handle formatted text as replacement. IMHO i will need to use copy/paste ...

Klaus,
Working with text is about the most complicated thing to do within FrameMaker. It seems counter-intuitive, since it is about the easiest thing to do with the GUI. But alas, once you remove the ability to select with a mouse and type with a keyboard, text becomes a wild jungle of complexity.
Text ranges are not too bad, once you get the general idea. It is just that... a range of text, like something you would select with a mouse. Like a mouse selection, it starts before some character in some paragraph and ends after some character in some paragraph. It may be the same paragraph, which is a selection within a paragraph. The character can even be the same, which is then just an insertion point (cursor) somewhere.
So, a text range is a data structure that defines two paragraphs and two characters. In the jargon of scripting, the character is called an "offset." An offset is simply the number of characters past the beginning of said paragraph, where 0 is the beginning.
For example, if you want to capture the first five characters of a paragraph as a text range, you can do this, where 'pgf' is some paragraph object:
var textRange = new TextRange();
textRange.beg.obj = pgf;
textRange.beg.offset = 0;
textRange.end.obj = pgf;
textRange.end.offset = 5;
If you want to capture a whole paragraph, change that last line to the number of characters in the pgf, or you can do this:
textRange.end.offset = Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET;
...where that constant is just some built-in thing that means "get me to the end of whatever." It's a convenience of the interface.
I'll also note that a text range is actually just an array of two text location structures, one named 'beg' and one named 'end.' If you think of a text location as defined by paragraph and an offset from the first character, maybe that will make more sense.
Text item structures are a whole new mess of complexity. I can't possibly go into an explanation of them here.
I think that many ES developers (definitely myself included) still use the FDK documentation because it is considerably more comprehensive. The two interfaces are largely parallel, but of course somewhat different in the language syntax. Consider that as a potential resource.

ExtendScript: Get all text from a document

Hi all.
I have the following task: I need to translate a document into another language using ExtendScript. So, as "input" I have a document with a text/graphics/tables/etc. in Language_1 and a "somehow-separated file", which will contain data about translation into the Language_2. E.g.:
Some_text_in_language_1     Some_text_in_language_2
Some_other_text_in_language_1     Some_other_text_in_language_2
To get the source text from the document, I've tried to use this:
var pgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
while(pgf.ObjectValid()){
     var test = pgf.GetText(Constants.FTI_String);
     var text, str;
     text = "";
     for (var i=0; i < test.len ; i +=1)
          var str=test[i] .sdata.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '') ;
          text = text + str;
          PrintTextItem (test[i]);
     pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
But with this, I can only access the regular text in the document (e.g. the text in tables remains untougched). Is there any way I can the all textual data from specified document? Or maybe, the full list of controls, which can contain it, to iterate throught them and extract it one-by-one? Or maybe there's a better way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There is another way to loop through ALL paragraphs in a document, regardless whether they are in a table or in the main text flow. You can use the FirstPgfInDoc property of the document and loop through all Pgf objects using the NextPgfInDoc property of the Pgf until you reach an invalid object. Note that this also includes all paragraphs in the master and reference pages, so it might be useful to check where the Pgf is located (on a body page or not). There is a script on this forum that does that - I believe it was created and posted by Rick Quatro.
Working your way through the main text flow does not guarantee that you have all the visible text in the doc. There may be multiple flows and there may also be text frames that are placed inside anchored frames. Those text frames are not contained directly in the main flow of the document.
Good luck with your scripting
