Ignore Line break in find text using grep

Hi everyone!
I need to find the text in document using grep.
find text for :
Xereptatiuria que alique volo eium qui dolupid ut
voluptatiam earum saestorepel iuscit im quas et modisimodit.
The above sentence cannot having line breaks. But document having multiple line breaks.
so, please to give a tip to find the text using grep.
I am not excepting this type of result by following.
Xereptatiuriaque\n alique volo\neium qui dolupid ut\r voluptatiam earum\n saestorepel iuscit im quas et\n modisimodit. ------------this is not.
Any another way to find (i.e)., ignore the line break
simply like this,
(?s:Xereptatiuria que alique volo eium qui dolupid ut
voluptatiam earum saestorepel iuscit im quas et modisimodit.) --------- the line break wherever it is found,ignore line break in single command.
Thanks by,
John Peter.

johnp45247251,
what do you really want to do?
Like pkahrel in your other thread Find Grep And Ignore the line break said:

You're a moving target: you change your question in each post. Do yourself a favour and go and read up on GREP.
johnp45247251, one question:
Could it be possible, that you doesn't understand correctly, how Grep really works?
<edit by pixxxel schubser>
Furthermore your example text is different to your screenshot. Your text is:
»Xereptatiuriaque\n alique volo\neium qui dolupid ut\r voluptatiam earum\n saestorepel iuscit im quas et\n modisimodit.«
And your screenshot shows:
»Xereptatiuriaque\n alique volo\n eium qui dolupid ut \rvoluptatiam earum\n saestorepel iuscit im quas et\n modisimodit.«
Normally the text should look like this:
»Xereptatiuriaque\nalique volo\neium qui dolupid ut\rvoluptatiam earum\nsaestorepel iuscit im quas et\nmodisimodit.«
Please explain what do you really want to do and exactly if additional spaces are exists or not!
Could it be:
you have a text with paragraphs and with many line breaks in that paragraph and there are no spaces exists before or after your line breaks. And is your destination to remove all the line breaks from your text?
</edit by pixxxel schubser>
Then the way is not to find the text completly and to ignore the line breaks – the way is to find the line breaks and replace with a space, e.g. like that:
find:
\n
replace with:
\s
(change all)

How to put line break in the text

Hi guys,
This is a simple problem.i don't know how to concat a line break while creating a text.
I am looping through the results of a query and want to form the text using the results.
For each row of the resultset,I want to create a new line in the text i create.
I was wondering how to put a new line in the text.
I thought I can concat '\n' ,but it does not work.
the code snippet in the procedure is :
for c1_rec in c1 loop
vMsg := ' There are ' || c1_rec.total ||
     ' documents of type ' || c1_rec.doc_type || '\n' ;
end loop;
Please give the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Mark.
I tried your suggestion.But line break is not working in email.
Here is how my code is
in procedure 1 ,i create the message String as :
for c1_rec in c1 loop
vMsg := vMsg || ' ' || today_str || ' - ' || c1_rec.total ||
     ' Total inbound documents from : ' || c1_rec.target_value || CHR(13)||CHR10) ;
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || vMsg);
end loop;
--here sending mail calling another procedure
sendmail( '[email protected]' ,'[email protected]' , 'Test Subject ' , vMsg );
In Procedure 2( i.e sendmail procedure )
i am preparing email server connection from and to adresses .Then i am preparing and sending message as
crlf VARCHAR2( 2 ):= CHR( 13 ) || CHR( 10 );
conn:= utl_smtp.open_connection( EmailServer, Port );
     utl_smtp.helo( conn, EmailServer );
     utl_smtp.mail( conn, SENDER);
     utl_smtp.rcpt( conn, RECEIVER )
mesg:= 'Subject: ' || SUBJECT || crlf ||
               'Date: '||TO_CHAR( SYSDATE, 'Dy, dd Mon yyyy hh24:mi:ss' )||
               crlf ||
               'From:'||SENDER|| crlf ||
               'To: '||RECEIVER || crlf ||
               'Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' || crlf ||
               '' || crlf || MESSAGE ;
     utl_smtp.data( conn, mesg );
     utl_smtp.quit( conn );
even now the mail we are getting is not having the line break.I am having line break in dbms output,but not in the mail.
Is there any mistake how I am sending the mail.Or is there any other way we can put line break in the text
Thank you.

Line breaks in emails when using Gmail

*The problem arises because the iPhone uses "Plain Text" to send emails.*
*When using gmail, gmail automatically inserts line breaks in "Plain Text" emails every 78 characters, the reason why you see the breaks when unexpected.*
*See: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?id=4d1cecc1aab102ef&hl=en*
*To fix this problem:*
*1. Apple can allow us to send mail with Rich Text support from iOS devices OR*
*2. Google has to change the line breaks setting so that Plain text flows (and isn't broken) <-- this option is probably more realistic*
*I have tried from a hotmail account, sending email as plain text doesn't have line breaks imposed like the gmail account, but rather "flows".*

I am having the same problem with an IMAP/SMTP account. It was a GMail account, I switched it to using the GMail auto setup and haven't had any issues.
But under the standard IMAP/SMTP setting almost 1/3 of all messages were showing no content.
Though I don't recall exactly - I think most of them were sent while I was on 3G, and it otherwise works fine on WiFi.

Find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation

Hi Friends
Is it possible to find text using regular expression and add highlight annotation using plugin

A plugin can use the PDWordFinder to get a list of the words on a page, and their location. That's all that the API offers for searching. Of course, you can use a regular expression library to work with that word list.

Deleting extra forced line breaks with Find/Change

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm importing word .doc that are text-heavy and the formatting is such that there are lots of extra forced line breaks creating a blank line between paragraphs.
To avoid manually deleting the extra forced line breaks to eliminate the blank line of space between paragraphs, what are the best steps to doing this an easier way?
Any advice on clear steps to do it using the find/change option?
Thanks in advance as always..
JRH

Are you talking about two hard returns [Enter] in a row, or a soft and hard return [Shift + Enter] and [Enter]? A forced line break is a soft return, but most Word users would just hit the return key for an empty paragraph to get an empty line.
In either case, you can do a simple text find change, if GREP intimidates you. Use the special characters menu to enter either two "end of paragraph" or a "forced line break" and "end of paragraph" markers into the find field and a single "end of paragraph" marker into the change field.
This is included as part of the "Find/change by list" sample script which adds some other common cleanup functions like converting two spaces to one. The advantage to using GREP is it will find any number of consecutive paragraph end markers and convert to one in a single pass, while a text search must be run multiple times to catch the heavy handed author.

Splitting up text at line breaks into separate text objects

creating a map with many text objects each containing one village name etc. or sth similar it would be nice if we could
- type all names with enter/linebreaks
- and then choose something like 'create separate text objects for each text line'
I know I could convert the start text into outlines and then individually placing/moving them, but I still want to be able to edit all texts in one go (e.g. changing font size, colour, etc.)

Beate,
Since you mentioned a map, you can also do it this way:
1. Count the paragraphs in your text.
2. Select the text object containing the lines of text. Copy or Cut it to the Clipboard.
3. LineTool: Draw a horizontal line.
4. AltShiftDrag a copy of the line downward. Transform Again (Ctrl D) until you have as many lines as you had paragraphs.
5. Text tool: Hover over the topmost line. Click when you see the Type On A Path cursor. Paste.
6. Drag a selection marquee across all the lines. Type>ThreadedText>Create.
7. Type>ThreadedText>RemoveThreading.
Now you have a bunch of indiviudal text objects, but they are already Type On A Path objects; so you can drag them into position on your map, and then directselect their paths to edit their shapes (assuming you want pathType objects to bend along roads, etc.)

Applying a style the nth line of any paragraph using GREP

Hi,
I'm attempting to apply a character style to the third line of a paragraph that is broken with forced line breaks.
By doing a GREP search I can find the first two lines by using the following string:
.*\n.*\n
So, I reasoned that by I'd be able to find the following line by using a positive lookbehind, but no dice. . .
It doesn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

You don't need GREP for this if you are using CS4 or later. Instead create a nested line style as part of the paragraph style definition (it's under Drop Caps and Nested Styles). Set none through n-1 lines, then your style through as many lines as you like.

Problem in formatting of long text -- line break not recognized.

Hi ,
We have a PO smartform in our SRM system and we are facing problem with formatting of long text on the smartform for long texts maintained for the PO.
for ex, we maintain the long text as --
"this is long text for item 1.
1. this is line 1.
2. this is line 2."
On the smartform it is displayed as --
this is long text for item 1. 1. this is line 1. 2. this is line 2.
So basically, the line breaks in the text are not considered in the smartform .
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue ??
Thanks.

Hello Harmeet,
Which Std. FM are you using to fetch the PO texts? If the PO doesn't exist in your system, i'm afraid you cannot use Include Texts as mentioned by Harsh.
As an alternative you'll have to create a table & pass the text lines to it! I don't think SmartForms are not smart enough to identify new-line character.
BR,
Suhas

How to protect a text from line break in smartforms

Hi Gurus,
How to protect line break in a text element of smartforms. Text in that line is printing exactly 70 characters. I want the text to be printed fully till the size of the window. How to stop this automatic line break.
Regards,
Rithika.

What I have done may be helpful, so here are the details:
I had a table of text values, so I converted this to a string with concatenate, then string to a long character field, then used RKD_WORD_WRAP to put into table of 132 characters. Then I constructed a table of type tline by looping at my RKD_WORD_WRAP output, and utilized SAVE_TEXT to temporarily store a TEXT entry, like you would save with SO10, saving my desired paragraph format into TDFORMAT field and inserting any necessary character format commands into the text.
In my SmartForm, I then have dynamic text processing pointing to the internal table fieldnames containing tdname, tdid, tdobject, tdspras of what I saved. This allows SmartForms to utilize the full width of the window and optimize text output, based on window width, font, scale, paragraph format, character format, etc. These text identifier values are passed as part of my internal table via the SmartForms interface.
At the end of SmartForms processing, I loop at my internal table and utilize DELETE_TEXT to remove the temporary texts that I created for this set of output.
To avoid page breaks in my text, I put my output for a "block" of data into a folder (see the SmartForms folder feature). I have page protection on the folder...that way, SmartForms examines the length of the folder content and decides whether a page break should occur before any output for my block of data begins. My block of data contains a few data elements over 5 rows of output followed by two separate dynamic texts of various lengths. If the entire block won't fit on the remaining part of a page, page-break occurs first.

Fix the forced line break bug already!

Illustrator has had the same bug since version 11. In 5 consecutive versions!
Forced line break in a justified text behave like a paragraph ending (Enter) aligning the line before the forced line break left. It looks like a new paragraph but it is just incorrectly aligned line in the middle of a paragraph.
Also Find & Replace recognizes only forced line break but (^n) not paragraph ending (^p) although both can be used in text.
Since discretionary hyphens do not have an effect whatsoever it requires a lot of manual editing to make typographically acceptable text block to the back of a book jacket.
So, Adobe. How hard is exactly fix this very annoying bug which has been reported dozens of times? It has even been demonstrated to your tech people who agreed that it really is a bug and should be fixed.

A force line break is still the same paragraph. You won't see a difference unless there is some text change with each new paragraph, such as a style change or the addition of space before or after a paragraph. The forced line break can also be used as a trigger in a nested style to make the first line or lines formatting for a paragraph different from the following lines.

Gmail Exchange - line break issues

When using Exchange for push Gmail on my iPhone 4, I've noticed that any emails I sent have odd line breaks inserted into them. As I'm using the iPhone for work, any emails I send are rendered almost unintelligible. This is particularly bad as I am a professional writer. When using POP to access Gmail the text appears absolutely fine.
How can I ensure that my emails stay in their original format and don't have line breaks inserted where I don't want them? If this is possible with POP, surely it should be possible with Exchange. Any ideas?

Decode does not work for line breaks

Hi experts,
In a BLS, I am decoding a string which I output . It decodes the spaces but not for linea breaks. What is wrong ¡?
Thanks and best regards,

I forgot the examples .

Note : Copying and pasting the text into the note pad shows no problem ( it has linebreaks ) . This is also true when I copied the decoded thext from the INFO section of the Transaction execution onto this message . However , the BLS OUTPUT does not have line breaks .

Replacing hyphen with line break

Hi,
In my application I want to replace the hyphen with line break
. I am using APEX4.0
I am using the following javascript code:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
var visitorName = "<br/>";
var myOldString = "&P2_SI.";
var myNewString = myOldString.replace(/-/g, visitorName);
</script>
</html>
I have no clue how to get it executed and make the javascript work.... can someone help?

My application is a online test.. One of the question in Page 3 is to re-arrange the sentence that is in the form of bullets. In the text area, as there are no formatting the candidate just gives hyphen - and enters all the sentences.. so in the DB the values are saved in the single line and when we evaluate the paper, it looks odd. So we want to replace the hyphen with the line break
, so that when evaluating the paper, the format looks good, enter of one sentence there will be a line break.
After the candidate is done with the Page 3, clickig next button, saves the values to the DB, and the page (branching) goes to Page 4 and clicking the Previous button takes the candidate to Page 2 (branching).
The Dynamic Action is created in the following order
-Advanced
-action name
-Event ->Change
Selection Type->Item(s)
Item(s)->P3_S2I
Condition-> No condition
-Action->Execute Javscriot code
Disabled Fire on Page Load (as the code should execure only after the candidate type something in P3_S2I text area or after the Next button is clicked.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var special = "<br/>";
var myOldString = "&P3_S2I.";
var myNewString = myOldString.replace(/-/g, special);
document.write("<br /> " + myNewString);
</script>
-Selection Type -> Item(s)
Item - P3_S2I
-Click Create
This time I was taken to the next page.... but at the DB level hyphen is not replaced by the line break
