Remove Local Formatting AS or JS

I'm working on a script (AS, but I can link to a JS script from it if necessary) that replaces italic, bold, bold italic, small caps, etc., with character styles. Once that's done, I'd like to go through an entire ID file and remove any other local formatting (kerning, extra space above and below, leading changes, etc.).
I know how to do this from the Find/Replace dialog (search for TX, replace with TX), but can't quite figure out how to script it and have it do the same for all paragraph styles in a job.
Thanks in advance, gurus!

Hi Rick,
May the below code helpful for you:
I not able test it here, so please check and get back in case of any issues.
//First option
app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().clearOverrides();    //Clear document including masterpage
//Second option
var myStories = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().getElements();
for (i=0; i<myStories.length; i++) {
    if (myStories[i].textContainers[0].parent.parent instanceof MasterSpread || myStories[i].textContainers[0].parent instanceof MasterSpread || myStories[i].textContainers[0].parent.parent.parent instanceof MasterSpread || myStories[i].textContainers[0].parent.parent.parent.parent instanceof MasterSpread) {
         continue;
        myStories[i].texts[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.paragraphOnly);
         myStories[i].texts[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.characterOnly);
Thanks

How to remove values formatting in export to excel from ALV grid

Hi all,
I have small issue, I have ALV Grid with some data, but the problem is with columns containing e.g. gross amounts, because it is displayed in the grid as e.g. 1.764,81, and after export to excel it is still in this format (with dot and comma), so excel doesn't treat it as numeric value but as text, and then when I try to calculate total on the column then this values are not taken to the total. Do you know if that is possible to remove column formatting?
kind regards,
Marcin

I replied too soon to Peter's suggestions. For some reason, I was able to add new info. to my first new row, but not the second. However, I finally figured out the problem.
I found the Help Center page on: "Here are ways to change custom formats and apply changes to table cells:"
To change the elements associated with a custom format that’s been applied to cells, select the cells and click Show Format in the Format pane of the Table inspector.
I saw that the "cell format" was listed as "automatic," so I changed it to "Custom;" then left the new custom window at it's default settings. Now my cells would accept pasted info. without spreading it through the lower rows. Whatever automatic was in the table, it was not what I wanted. Doing this to other new cells, solved my problem. Thanks again.

Apple Mail.app in Leopard removes HTML formatting

Hi,
This is not something I see universally, but in many of my mails (Exchange account, company ID, hence, can't post screenshots), sometimes, Mail.app strips the html formatting! Sometimes, something as simple as a table is missing. All I see is the text that would have been inside it. The background colours, etc in certain mails also sometimes go missing.
Only when someone replies to the same mail and has the original mail included, do I see the formatting!
Also, when I open my mailbox in Thunderbird or a browser, I can see the formatting correctly in the same mail!
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Anup

Mail > Preferences > Composing.
You have the option there to send and receive in plain text which will remove all formatting, maybe selected...Change to what you wish to happen

Outlook Add-In invoke command 'remove paragraph formatting (CTRL-Q)'

I want to invoke the Outlook command 'Remove Paragraph Formatting (CTRL+Q)' [1] programmatically at my Add-In. For instance is breaks the blue line on an e-mail reply. Is this possible? The command is not located at the CommandBar.
Jens
[1] CTRL+Q – This removes all paragraph-level formatting—weird indents, line spacing, extra spacing before and after the paragraphs, etc. Again, select the text, hold down your Control key and press the letter Q.

Hi jfrederich,
Base on my test, I found we could call ClearFormatting() method, then call
ClearParagraphAllFormatting() method.
d.Application.Selection.ClearFormatting();
d.Application.Selection.ClearParagraphAllFormatting();
Please try it and check whether this meet your requirement.

Hi Starain, that was my first try. It doesn't work. nothing happens. The blue line resists on the front of the selection.

Date formatting: how to get specific fields showing in localized format?

Hi all,
I would like to take a Date object and format it into the localized format while at the same time specifying which fields should be showing. E.g. ensure that I always have, day of week, day of month, month, year, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds regardless of locality.
Is it possible to do this and if so how?

For that there is java.util.Locale

Remove local administrator rights from multiple machines

Hi all,
We have a load of Macs on active directory. Most of them have local admin rights. Is there a quick and easy way to remove local admin rights and change them to standard users. I really don't want to do them one by one?
Please give me some good news
Kind Regards,

Hi baltwo,
Thanks for the suggestion but I found out how to do it with this UNIX command:

Show local formatting

Hello,
I use a script to detect in InDesign document where there are local formatting styles applied. I found this script under :
http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2010/05/show-local-formatting-in-indesign-cs4_
It works well but I am trying to detect also when :
the style by default is applied [ Paragraphe standard]
any style is applied (ex: when text was copy and paste without style applied)
Do you know if it's possible to declare this thing ? Is there any method ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Apologies not necessary. That previewColor property has been a mystery for quite some time, and when I finally found out what it is supposed to do, it seemed to be so bug-ridden that I quickly steered away from it and I gave up attempting to make any sense of it. But your script just avoids those bugs popping up!
As I said in the IDS post: it's rather sad the Adobe team gave up on further developing this great hidden feature into a full one; and it's downright worrying that they left that legacy code in CS5 and later, so it could get infested with all those nasty little bugs. It leads me to think: how many more 'dead' code is there, in CS5, 5.5 and now in CS6? Could that be the reason later versions are so much slower and more buggy than my trusty CS4?
(Point in fact.
In CS4 and earlier on the Mac, all plugin resources are gathered into neat, small packages inside a single large indexed file. That makes sense, because every single plugin resource is just a couple of bytes long -- say, a single icon, or a single string "Menu Item Name". With CS5, the programmers suddenly took a Lazy Turn and wrote out every single resource as a single small file. That means that
1. (Annoying!) Since hard disk space is allocated by the kilobyte (typically 4Kb chunks), 10 tiny resources totalling 1 Kb now will suddenly occupy 40 Kb of disk space. Sure, hard disk space is cheap. Apparently, it's even cheaper than doing some programming -- or even just using the load code from the last version!
2. (Frustrating!) Locating, opening, loading, and then closing a single file takes time and resources, but after a file got loaded into memory, you can do with it whatever you want. Locating, opening, loading and then closing each of the dozens of small files per plugin takes lots of time. Is that the reason CS5.5 starts up so incredibly slow? Jongware sez: yeah for sure it won't help.
/Point in fact).

How can I change a local format (bol, italics) to character style

Hi, I'm new in scripting. I need to change local formats to character styles in some documents, but I can't find the proper ID Object Model to do it in Java. Can somebody help me?

Thanks for the help! It worked! But I have two problems now:
1. The documents use Helvetica fonts (light, lightitalic, semibold, etc.) on headings, and the script doesn't recognize nor replace them as character styles. I guess I should replace those fonts with a compatible one (Times New Roman, perhaps). Is there any script that may do that?
2. Some paragraph styles use bold by default, but the script generates a character style in that cases too. The perfectpreptex you send me attend to fix this problem, but the styles document crashes!!

How do i remove local copies of my iCloud files from my iPhone?

I have a 32GB iPhone 5. I've been using iCloud since its beginning and it does a great job of keeping everything in sync across all devices, but the more I use it, the more I see it taking up space. How do I remove all of the local/hard copies of my iCloud files from my device without deleting them from iCloud, also? Particularly, i've noticed that, in Keynote on iOS, my presentations will have the cloud icon, showing that they are available for download, but not actually on my device... once i download a presentation to my phone, how to i remove the actual file from my phone, while keeping my icloud copy available for future download? I would love to be able to do this with all of my iWork files on iOS, as it would save me a few gigs of data storage on my iPhone.
in similar fashion, is there a way to remove the local files from my Photostream on my iPhone, while keeping them available to view in a "streaming" fashion? As it is now, if i take an HDR photo and save the HDR and the standard to my camera roll, it then uploads both images to Photostream, which is great, but then i have another copy of both images stored locally on my phone in my photostream folder... this means if i hit the shutter once i wind up with four 8MP images stored on my device... that adds up fast. I understand that people want the security of knowing they have a hard copy backup, but I would love to have the option, at least, to keep my photo stream from being stored on my iPhone/iPad... I want to be able to stream my pictures, just like i stream my music with iTunes Match. Does this make sense? Does this option already exist and i've just missed it?
Any help with either of these will be a HUGE help, and very appreciated.

Like commonsense101 stated, you can forward the text messages to your email address, that typically does not include the original timestamp, but it's still a good way to keep special texts. If in regards to legal situations, a court order may be obtained for those records as well.

How to convert Localized formatted String in Amount?

Hello All,
I have once scenario where I need to convert localized string amount to parse and make it long amount.
Example: In russia, people write 1000 as "1 000".
Now what I need to do is to parse this "1 000" and get 1000.
Is there any way in java, which can identify if the particular string is localized price in some Locale and give us the normal long output?
Thanks,
Jenish

The char after the 1 of 1 000 is not a space (value: 32) it's a no-break space (value 160). Copy this line and paste it into your code:System.out.println(nf.parse("1 000"));And please read the announcement(s) at the top of the forum listing, they're there for a purpose. Then edit your post and format the code correctly.
db
edit Dang, the forum parsing (or maybe the browser rendering) converts that to a normal space :( Trying again... and again ...
No, it appears both &nbsp; and &#0160; are corrupted to a &#0032; no matter how I try it. One more try, with pre tags instead of code tags
System.out.println(nf.parse("1 000"));Nope. With noformat
{noformat}System.out.println(nf.parse("1 000"));{noformat}
On a Windows computer, you can type the no-break space using Alt-0160 or copy it from the Character Map. Other than that, here's my best attempt to illustrate what's going on:NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("ru", "RU"));
try {
System.out.println("1 000".equals(nf.format(1000))); // false
String thousand = "1" + ((char) 160) + "000";
System.out.println(thousand); // looks like 1 000
System.out.println(nf.parse(thousand)); // 1000
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Best way to remove local variables

Hello,
I have been told that I need to remove all the local variables in my VI, because they are slow. I can not seem to find a good option for replacing them but keeping the same functionality.
What I am using the local variables for is to update 3 different graphs on the front panel from 3 different sources. Each of these sources are located in while loops so that data can be acquired asynchronously. In closing these 3 while loops is a case statement. The case statement is for switching between acquiring and saving the data or just acquiring data. The local variables are used to update the indicators and graphs from the acquiring and saving data case. It is these local variables that I need to remove.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Who told you that?
As others have said, local variables typically don't cause slowdown (They cause additional datacopies in memory, have the potential of causing race conditions and cause messy code).
What is "slow" in your definition? (missing data, cannot keep up with the instrument, slugging UI, etc.).
What is the CPU use when your program runs?
So apparently you have a loop that updates all indicators from local variables. What is the loop rate of that display loop? Do you spin that millions of times per second or pace it at a reasonable rate? How much data is in the graphs?
Remember, a graph does not need to update unless the data changes.
