More help with GREP needed
I have been attempting to create some nested styles.
So far, I am getting the hang of it.
I have created a grep style that will make all text after the word "NOTE: " into italic. Also, I have grep style that makes all text that is "FIGURE +\d+\d" into bold text.
The problem I have is that if the word "FIGURE " etc. is in the italicized note text, then it will not become bold.
For example: "Operate the switch to begin the process (FIGURE 3-3). Make sure guards are closed (refer to FIGURE 3-1)."
That works fine, and "FIGURE " is bold. However, when I change the sentence by adding "NOTE: Make sure guards... " it all becomes italic, and I loose the bold on "FIGURE 3-1"
So, is there a way to augment my italic grep with some kind of inclusion... as if I were saying "if "FIGURE +\d+\d" make that is bold italic"
sorry for the long-winded attempt to describe what I want to do.
Thanks in advance for help.

RPP,
The trouble is that in GREP style you can find text but not formatting, so you can't say something like "find FIGURE only when it's italic". In the Find/Change dialog you can, but in GREP styles you can't.
You also can't say "look for FIGURE if it's preceded by NOTE: and any characters in between". Unfortunately, lookbehind can't cope with variable-length text. So if you always have "NOTE: Refer to FIGURE ...", then you can use lookbehind and you set-up would be this:
apply italic to FIGURE [-\d]+
apply bold to NOTE:.+
apply bold-italic to (?<=NOTE: Refer to )FIGURE [-\d]+
The first parenthetical is a lookbehind: in this case, FIGURE looks behind, meaning you find FIGURE only when it's preceded by "Note: Refer to", which is not matched itself. So bold italics would be applied only to FIGURE [-\d]+, and only when preceded by ...
But you're not likely to have such fixed text. When you have just a few alternatives, you can list them as alternatives, so if you always have "Note: Refer to " or "NOTE: See " you could salvage your set-up, but with more than let's say three alternatives it gets messy.
(?<=NOTE:.+? )FIGURE [-\d]+ , which you would hope would match any text from NOTE: to FIGURE, doesn't work as a lookbehind.

It's the ever popular Inventory program again! I'm creating a GUI to display the information contained within an array of objects which, in this case, represent compact discs. I've received some good help from other's posts on this project since it seems there's a few of us working on the same one but now, since each person working on this project has programmed theirs differently, I'm stuck. I'm not sure how to proceed with my ActionListeners for the buttons I've created.
Here's my code:

});Above is your code for the "Next" button.
You ask the question "What goes here"? Well what do you think goes there?
If you are looking at item 1 and you press the "Next" button do you not want to look at item 2?
So the obvious solution would be to add 1 to the previous item value. Does that not make sense? What problem do you have when you try that code?????
Next you say "Is this right"? Well how are we supposed to know? You wrote the code. We don't know what the code is supposed to do. Again you try it. If it doesn't work then describe the problem you are having. I for one can't execute your code because I don't use JDK5. So looking at the code it looks reasonable, but I can't tell by looking at it what is wrong. Only you can add debug statements in the code to see whats happening.
If you want help learn to as a proper question and doen't expect us to spoon feed the code to you. This is your assignment, not ours. We are under no obligation to debug and write the code for you. The sooner you learn that, the more help you will receive. -
Seeking help with GREP expression
I am working with InDesign's GREP feature for the first time. I'm learning the codes but I'm still pretty lost. I'd appreciate some assistance creating an expression.
The document is a test. I'd like to reflow each question onto it's own page.
The individual questions look more or less like this:
LM_CC1234
■13»Solorrovit ipietum voluptium fugit, am, si ame.¶
Olenisquia dis etur rem quia dollenis maximus est?¶
A»plicius perovit¶
B»alit ducit fugia¶
C»vel invel ius¶
D»offic tem aboriae¶
I'm open to different possibilities, but right now I'm trying to search for the spot that's either 11 or 12 characters (including line breaks) before the square dingbat (hexadecimal x25A0). The LM_CC1234 identifier sometimes uses a format with one more letter (like SLM_CC1224) hence the 11 or 12 character count.
Once InDesign has found the spot, I want to insert a carriage return (hexadecimal xD) in that spot throughout the document.
Thank you for your time!Hi,
Did you consider startParagraph property to use?
If LM_CC1234
or LM_CC1234
■13»Solorrovit ipietum voluptium fugit, am, si ame.¶
are separate paragraphs -- this option could be set to StartParagraph.NEXT_PAGE,
so no GREP needed here.
hope... -
Need help with iPhoto, Need help with iPhoto
Hey there!!!
When I plug in my iPhone I go to iPhoto and can choose to import the pictures. I also tried Image Capture as it seemed easier to organise my pictures, making folders, sub-folders, etc. The problem with this is everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer click on Import the system automatically makes second, third, fourth, etc copies of each picture. This also means that there is a copy of my pictures on iPhoto and on Image Capture - which I do not really need.
I have tried to make Albums and Folders on iPhoto. Sometimes when I delete a picture as it has been saved in two albums it gets deleted from both albums. Why is this? How can I make Albums or Folders to organise my pictures. If my pictures are transferred directly onto iPhoto, can I find them anywhere else in my computer? If I wanted to burn pictures from various albums on a disc how could I do that on iPhoto? Also I dont want events to create themselves. How can I avoid this?
I would like help with either using iPhoto or know how the stop the duplicating of pictures on Image Capture.
Maybe there is a better way I can transfer the pictures onto my MacBook??
Thanks a mil!!!Are you running a "referenced" or "managed' library?
Image Capture does not store phortos in it. It's an application for uploading photos to wherever you tell it to, either a folder on the hard drive or into iPhoto. If you want to use only Image Capture to upload your photos to iPhoto then set iPhoto's General preferences to the following:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

Need some help with GREP expressions
I know--KNOW--there's a way to do this, but my GREP expressions keep failing.
I want to add an em dash before any phrase that's in a paragraph style. So I obviously want the em dash to be in the location "beginning of paragraph." All my GREP searches keep failing. Can someone help?Adobe's implementation of "beginning of paragraph" is a tiny bit off from standard GREP (which, in itself, is less a set of hard & fast rules, but more like "guidelines"). Yes -- you can search for beginning of paragraph using plain ^, but you cannot use it with a replace operation.
The trick is to give InDesign something to look for. Search for
^.
(that's right -- one wildcard right after the start of a paragraph). You don't want to loose the character it finds, so replace with
~_$0
where the first 2 codes is your em dash and the last 2 are "the entire found text". That's your original wildcard-found character!
Don't forget to put your paragraph style in the Find Formatting box.
This workaround works around the implementation failure, because you indeed want to add something to existing text. Unfortunately, another fairly standard GREP to look for empty paragraphs -- ^$ -- doesn't work, because then you have no place for a wildcard character ... (and yes, you can use a hard return \r instead of either first or last code, but then it won't work at beginning or end of story). It's one of those things I hope to see corrected with CS5.
[Edit] Ha! Peter beat me to it but he made a typo. Besides, my story is longer. -
Dear Forum,
I can't seem to figure out how the GREP-Search in InDesign is working.
I have a document with 60 pages with a large number of incorrectly formatted prices. The false expressions are for example:
EUR 250.000,00
EUR 2.000,00
EUR 15,00
and so on with every possible value
But they should be formatted as:
250.000 Euro
2.000 Euro
15 Euro
What do I have to tell GREP-Search in oder to format them correctly?
Thanks a lot for your help,
RalfVamitul, it's not unusual that there are things that can go wrong. But both our suggstions work correctly on the specified list -- and Ralf did not say what should happen when there is a number in cents, so it seems he wants to throw them away.
If not: here is a single GREP that will move the EUR to the back and discard only ",00" cent values; other cents are preserved.
\bEUR *([\d.]+(,\d\d\b(?<!,00))?)(,00\b)?
replacing again with
$1 Eur
The result:
EUR 250.000 -> 250.000 Eur
EUR 250.000,00 -> 250.000 Eur
EUR 2.000,01 -> 2.000,01 Eur
EUR 15,05 -> 15,05 Eur -
Need help with GREP query-Extract
Hi folks,
I'm trying to tighten up a GREP query I was able to piece together.
This Find string allows me to find text within the <ex> tags and delete the tags themselves. The Change field then applies my Extract paragraph style.
(?s)(<ex> *)(.+?)( *</ex>)
What I need it to do is add a blank line above and below the extract. Can that be added to the string?
TIAYes, by changing to \r$2\r
BUT, is this text already a paragraph? If it is, it would be better to add space before and after as part of the style. If it's not, I'm not sure that adding the returns in the same operation isn't going to change the text from which it is extracted as well, so you might want to search first for <ex>.+?</ex> and change to \r$0\r without changing the formatting, then run what you have now to change the format on the extract. -
Help with scripting: need to import Excel files into PS type layers
Howdy all,
I have a series of TV commercials provided to me as layered PS files. I work in CS3 and export to Avid for editing.
For customization, I need to import their Excel list of phone numbers and duplicate each one into a type layer with existing efx and placement.
There are 30-60 #s, which appear in 2 locations, so automation is key (just finished a 45 # series, and they have more!)
I dont know how to script this, and would appreciate any guidance. I am not asking for someone to do it for me, just help me learn what I have to do.
Dave KoslowFrom Excel save your file out as either CSV or TDT from the drop down 'save as' options. Once you have a plain text file script will be able to read the text file using which ever delimiter best suits you and create an array of string variables that you can use within photoshop to assign to the contents of a text layer…

Thanks for taking your time reading this.then don't reply if you're not going to read it, i
just gave the url, Don't get snitty. I'm just informing you that most people here don't want to click a link and read your whole bloody assignment. If you want help, the burden is on you to make it as easy as possible for people to help you. I was only trying to inform you about what's more likely to get you help. If doing things your way is more important to you than increasing your chances of being helped, that's your prerogative.
so you can get an idea on what

that's very obvious, That's what I thought, but you seemed to be saying, "How do I add this c'tor?" That's why I was asking for clarification about what specific trouble you're having.
i just want to know how to
implement everything correctly, so don't start

More help with Skillbuilders' Modal Page Plugin
I have an employee page with a series of smaller report regions showing things like contact addresses, job roles, etc. All are form-on-a-table+report type of setup I would like to convert to modal pages. The popup is now working (thanks to a security setting pointed out by Dan), but on all of these forms, I would like to populate the P(X)_EMP_ID item from the parent to save the users an obvious step. I've tried putting it in the URL called by the Dynamic Action and I've tried setting the item value in the modal dialog to be the parent's correlated item, but neither seems to work like it would in a standard form page call where I just list the items to pass and their values. I must be doing something wrong here, but I can't quite place it. Can someone point me at what I'm missing?
Here's the URL I'm trying to use:
f?p=&APP_ID.:287:&APP_SESSION.:::287::P287_EMP_ID:&P281_EMP_ID.
where 281 is the parent page and 287 is the modal page.
I also tried setting up an additional TRUE action associated with the Dynamic Action to assign the page item value - that didn't seem to work either. BTW - I'm strictly dealing with the CREATE button ATM. I'll get to the edit links after I get this working.Does your page 281 have an employee id item?
Yes. The respective items are P281_EMP_ID and P287_EMP_ID. There is also P282_EMP_ID, P283_EMP_ID, etc.
Even if it did it wouldn't make sense to transfer it's value to your form page if you wanted to arrive at the form page in a create mode.
In this case it does, however. I start out on a general listing (Interactive Report) of all the employees where each has an edit link to the "master" record for the employee containing employee ID, name, etc. There are several (5+) child tables to the master, however, which contain things like addresses, contacts, etc. Each has a one-to-many relationship with the employee master record. I am attempting to display these each in their own regions and this was working fine as standard form+report on a table with the report showing along with the master employee record.
As such, though the Employee ID acts as the foreign key to the master record, that value is predetermined by virtue of the currently displayed employee master record - thus the desire to have this value propagate down to the modal window/form page. The users also want it because they get distracted and frequently forget who they are working on. They want the name of the employee listed here, and this is difficult to display without the ID to reference.
To arrive at page 287 in a create mode you need to clear out the value of the primary key item on that page. See the following to learn more about URL syntax:

Thanks. I looked that over and tried to make sure things were in the right place, but I'm pretty sure the issue is the automatic fetch. Once I wrote my own form population process to replace the existing one, it seemed to work fine and the URL syntax passed the value as desired. -
NEED HELP WITH QUERY, NEED NEWEST RECORD ONLY
Hi all,
Here goes,
I have an assingment in which i need to find the agents who allow the footballers to break the rules.
So far i have 41 results, in which there is 4 agents and 24 footballers, and the same footballer has broken more than one rule or the rule more than once.
What i now need is to arrange so that each footballer on shows up once no matter how many times they have broken the rules.
i have
SELECT
t.transfer_time || ' ' || a.first_name || ' ' || a.last_name || ' ' || f.first_name || ' ' || f.last_name || ' ' || f.footballer_id || ' ' || t.transfer_id
FROM
agents a, transfers t, footballers f, footballers_fees fo
WHERE
a.agent_id = t.broker_id
AND
t.footballer_id = f.footballer_id
AND
f.footballer_id = fo.footballer_id
AND
(RULE 1 BROKEN AND RULE 2 BROKEN
OR
RULE 1 BROKEN AND RULE 2 NOT BROKEN
OR
RULE 1 NOT BROKEN AND RULE 2 BROKEN)
GROUP BY
t.transfer_time || ' ' || a.first_name || ' ' || a.last_name || ' ' || f.first_name || ' ' || f.last_name || ' ' || f.footballer_id || ' ' || t.transfer_id
ORDER BY
t.transfer_time || ' ' || a.first_name || ' ' || a.last_name || ' ' || f.first_name || ' ' || f.last_name || ' ' || f.footballer_id || ' ' || t.transfer_id
(I havent typed out the SQL for the rules 1 and 2 but i know it works)
Now i need to show only each footballer once whether they have broken either rule and more than once or not.
I have been staring at the screen for near enough 10 hours and any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks all :)884080 wrote:

Thanks all :)Realize that we don't have your tables or data, so we can't run, test, or improve your SQL.
so what exactly do you expect from us? -
Hi guys. How to update a JTable? What am I doing wrong? When I press buttons nothing happend d:(
public void init() {
this.setSize(640,420);
//this.setLayout ( null );
panel = new JPanel();
//Builder.buildInsertGui();
//Builder.buildInfoGui();
//Builder.buildSettingsGui();
Builder.table=Database.getOperations();
ActionListener ladd = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Builder.table=new JTable();
System.out.println("free");
Application.panel.repaint();
JButton badd = new JButton("Free");
badd.addActionListener(ladd);
ActionListener ldel = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Builder.table=Database.getOperations();
System.out.println("fill");
Application.panel.repaint();
JButton bdel = new JButton("Fill");
badd.addActionListener(ldel);
this.panel.add(Builder.table);
this.panel.add(bdel);
this.panel.add(badd);
this.add(panel);
}Hi,
first create the table once in the init method
second you don't need to call the repaint on the JPanel each time you do the action
third you need to update your table via the table Model by extending the AbstractTableModel
The table Model is the part which hold the data for the table to be presented
fourth get the table Model; then populate it again with different values
Fifth call table.repaint;
ex:
public class MyStocksTable extends JFrame {
protected JTable m_table;
protected StockTableData m_data;
protected JLabel m_title;
protected JButton m_btn;
public MyStocksTable() {
super("Stocks Table");
setSize(600, 300);
UIManager.put("Table.focusCellHighlightBorder",
new LineBorder(Color.black, 0));
m_data = new StockTableData();
m_title = new JLabel(m_data.getTitle(),
new ImageIcon("money.gif"), SwingConstants.CENTER);
m_title.setFont(new Font("Helvetica",Font.PLAIN,24));
getContentPane().add(m_title, BorderLayout.NORTH);
m_table = new JTable();
m_table.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);
m_table.setModel(m_data);
m_btn = new JButton("UPDATE ME");
getContentPane().add(m_btn,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
m_btn.addActionListener(new MyActionListener(m_table));
for (int k = 0; k < m_data.getColumnCount(); k++) {
DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer = new
DefaultTableCellRenderer();
renderer.setHorizontalAlignment(
StockTableData.m_columns[k].m_alignment);
TableColumn column = new TableColumn(k,
StockTableData.m_columns[k].m_width, renderer, null);
m_table.addColumn(column);
JTableHeader header = m_table.getTableHeader();
header.setUpdateTableInRealTime(false);
JScrollPane ps = new JScrollPane();
ps.getViewport().setBackground(m_table.getBackground());
ps.getViewport().add(m_table);
getContentPane().add(ps, BorderLayout.CENTER);

London,UK -
I have refered to this thread to help me create my background image.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=599393&messageID=3196643
However I am stuck mostly because of not really fully grasping all the objects and how they work yet.
Basically right now I have a JFrame and then I have a container which I put all my objects in.
First question:
What exactly does the following line of code do?
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
Does the "getContentPane()" method get the JFrame, since this is the class this line of code is embedded in?
It sets contentPane which is a container to the JFrame?
Second question...
So using the above link I created a class called BackgroundImage and it works ...sort of. I have two windows - one is my JFrame game and the other is this background frame.
Now I knew this would happen and I realize what I am supposed to do but I have been unsuccessful. Basically I need to make this JPanel my contentPane right?
But when I say something like
JPanel contentPane = panel my JFrame has nothing in it...
How do I take this seperate window and incorporate it into what I already have.
I want to use the contentPane variable since this is the variable where everything gets added throughout the code? I can't seem to get the JPanel to work.
Take a look at some code snippets:
public class DungMast extends JFrame
/** Creates a new instance of EventPress */
public DungMast() {
Animation_Complete=false;
Current_Level = 1;
Level_Complete = false;
CreateUserInterface();
JPanel panel = new JPanel()
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
// Dispaly image at at full size
g.drawImage(img_BG.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
// Scale image to size of component
// Dimension d = getSize();
// g.drawImage icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
// Fix the image position in the scroll pane
// Point p = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewPosition();
// g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), p.x, p.y, null);
super.paintComponent(g);
panel.setOpaque( false );
panel.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(400, 400) );
scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
JButton button = new JButton( "Hello" );
panel.add( button );
} //end constructor for main JFrame
//Then I have something like
JPanel contentPane = panel;
}What exactly does the following line of code do?
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
It gets the content pane for the JFrame and saves a reference to it for later use, viz,
the reference "contentPane" can be used to call methods in the Container class.
Lightweight (Swing) top–level containers have a content pane that holds the child
components for the parent container. See the comments section of the JRootPane class api
for a birds–eye view.

// Fill background with opaque color.

Mac newbie-help with iphoto needed
Just made the switch from windows to the the new macbook and having a little trouble with something. On my old win xp system I kept a folder on my desktop called 'online images'. I work in fashion design and kept any fashion related images that I saw online in it, right clicking and saving to this folder as I went along, it became a useful reference and one I was continually adding to.
Now I'm on the mac, I transferred the 'online images' folder over, it's now stored in my Iphoto library and looks fantastic. However, now, as I search the web on my shiny new macbook and find images I want to save things seem a little more tricky.
Basically, I want to be able to save an image from the web directly into my 'online images' folder in iphoto in the simplest way possible, is there any way to do it directly without having to fire up iphoto? I love being able to just drag an image from the web onto my desktop but it would be great if I could just throw it into my 'online images' event on iphoto without having to do it in several moves.
Sorry for the long explanation, hope it makes sense, all suggestions welcome..

There's a ? icon on the lower right which is the Help, and there's a wealth of support available on the makers website. But the basics are:
Folders Tab:
Add your folder 'Test'. This is the folder the rules will work on
Then in the right hand pane, click on the '+', a sheet descends to create the Rule:
Name It
Set it to ALL
KIND -> IS -> PICTURE
IMPORT TO iPHOTO -> to album -> etc.
Then ok.
Drop an image file into the 'Test' folder to see if it works.

More help with visible and hidden fields
Looking for the script that will let me click a button and then show hidden text fields.
Here's what I want to do:
I have a text field on my form that if another text field is needed, the user clicks the "Add another Case" button and the hidden text field will appear.Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Basically, I have several needs on this form:
First, I only want a text field to be visible if the Add New button is selected. Otherwise I need the text field hidden.
Secondly, I have several text fields where I need to allow for multiple entries of the same type of information. Such as Party Information (which consists of name, address, city, state, etc.) There will be more than one party, so I would need the form to record the first information for the party, then the user clicks Add Another Party......which then clears the previous information allowing for the user to enter the next party info, and so on.
I'm sure this is all basic stuff, but as I said, I'm new to this and just need to be set in the right direction. Not sure how to get you the form.
Thanks a bunch
