Replace All in (Find/Replace) in slides notes

Replace All in (Find/Replace) in Slides Notes does not work.
Find, Find All, and Replace do work, but if you want to change (alpha) word to (beta) in all slides notes, and you choose (Find all), and then, (replace all), nothing works. Am I missing something or the application behaves incorrectly? The only way to make it work is to go click (replace) one by one...

Hi Vikram,
This is the latest captivate and it is for Windows 8.1.
It happens on all projects, new or saved one.
It happens with numbers. I am trying to search for 1. and replace it with 1), as well as 2. with 2).... and so on so forth.
I am doing these replacements in the (Notes) field of each slide.
Hope this is helpful.

Working with slide notes as audio script

In Captivate v4 if you had more than a few lines of notes that you were to use as your script, you could "detach" the notes and expand the screen prior to starting your audio recording in order to see on one page all notes from which you based your audio.
I have yet to start any major recording in Captivate v5.5, but from what I see so far - the above option does not exist. It looks as if you get a scroll bar which you must use to see your script once you get to the bottom of the initial available notes screen.
Are there any workarounds ?
I would much prefer to see the full script from the start and not have to scroll down during my recording - with the added risk of my mike picking up the mouse clicks.

If you want to use the Slide Notes panel detached, you can just grab it by the tab and drag it off as a floating panel. However, when you open the Slide Audio dialog, you'll find that the Slide Notes panel cannot be made to sit on top of it.
My preference is to dock the Slide Notes on the right side of the screen, and just sit the Slide Audio to the left of it so that I can read my voiceover script as well as control the Slide recording.

Using applescript for Find and Replace All in Pages 2.0

i saw that Pages 2.0 is scriptable
i try to create a script for merge use to find and replace all occurence of a certain string using a script but Pages doesn't seems to respond to "Find" even using "System Events"
how can i do to use this function with a script
Thanx for any help

OK, here's another example. This one gets the text as a string and uses the offset property to find "[", presuming it to be a merge delimiter. (Pages' text doesn't support "offset of").
One failing of this scheme is that the offsets are incorrect if you have inline objects (pictures, shapes, tables, etc.). While it is probably possible to compensate for them, that's a trickier proposition.
<PRE>-- Example merge replacements:
property mergeText : {"[name]", "John Smith", "[address]", "1234 Anystreet"}
on lookup(mergeWord)
set theCount to count of mergeText
repeat with x from 1 to theCount by 2
if item x of mergeText = mergeWord then
return item (x + 1) of mergeText
end if
end repeat
-- If merge field is not found, delete it (replace it with the empty string)
return ""
end lookup
tell application "Pages"
repeat
tell body text of document 1
-- Get text as a string so that "offset of" can be used.
set allText to it as string
set startOffset to offset of "[" in allText
if (startOffset = 0) then
exit repeat
end if
set endOffset to offset of "]" in allText
select (text from character startOffset to character endOffset)
end tell
set mergeWord to contents of selection
tell me to lookup(mergeWord)
set replacement to result
set selection to replacement
if (replacement is "") then
-- Get rid of extra whitespace (space or return)
-- Do it in a "try" block to handle edge cases at start or end of text.
try
set theSel to (get selection)
set ch1 to character before theSel
set ch2 to character after theSel
if ((ch1 is " " or ch1 is return) and (ch2 is " " or ch2 is return)) then
select character after theSel
delete selection
end if
end try
end if
end repeat

Batch code for running a find/replace all on multiple files within a source floder/directory

What I need is a Batch source code that will open all files in a folder/directory and run a find and replace_all query within them and then save all the files. The files were created in Illustrator and saved using the Scene7 FXG format extension.    These files will be uploaded into Scene7 as a group after the find and replace macro/query is run on the code. The same find and replace query will be the same for all the files. Basically this function or batch process will save time in setting the same parameters all at one time instead of having to set the parameters individually in scene7.
a source code sample of the find/replace module macro might be              searchString: s7:colorvalue="#FFFFFFFF"
                                                                                                                      replaceString: s7:colorValue="#&txtclr;"
                                                                                                                      searchWhat   "FXG document"

I have no problems creating batch files within Ai and PhotoShop but I have limited programming skills in how to create source code for manuipulating documents outside of those apps or in a OS invironment.
I could probably come up witha simple program to do what i want for one document but i get lost when dealing with multiple documents in a source folder (prolbem is, I will be dealing with thousands of documents not 100 or less)
If anything which Adope cloud app would work best: Dreamweaver or Edge code   (or just use my notepad)

How can I Find/Replace a word on all cast members together rather than one at a time?

I currently use Director 11.5.9 with Windows 7 64 bit
I have some director movies I programmed years ago. I included the file extension .dir when I used "go to movie" statements (I didn't know any better at that time). For example, I would write, go to movie "alpha.dir". I have now updated those movies to Director 11.5.9 and want to protect them by updating them to .dxr movies. Obviously, the code "go to movie name.dir" won't work any more. I need to take out the .dir extensions from every occurance in those movies. Most all of them are cast scripts on buttons. A few of them appear in score scripts.
In searching this forum, I did find some tips for search/replace on ALL cast scripts, but when I attempted to follow them I did not find the options they suggested on the drop down menus.
Can someone tell me the steps for going into a Director movie and telling the Find and Replace function to replace ALL occurences of ".dir" in Cast Scripts with ""?
Currently, I am having to find them manually and replace them one at a time. There are a LOT movies with a LOT of occcurences of .dir, so this is far too slow. I'm sure it can be done more efficiently.
Any help than anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. I have a project that is coming due very soon and I don't want to delay it if possible.

When you open any script in this movie and press CTRL+F it should open a search-and-replace text dialog with a "Replace all" button/option that does exactly what you are asking for - unless I've misunderstood.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks etc

How can I remove all content between two tags using Find/Replace regular expressions?

This one is driving me bonkers... I'm relatively new to regular expressions, but I'm trying to get Dreamweaver to remove all content between two tags in an XML document. For example, let's say I have the following XML:
<custom>
<![CDATA[Some text
Some more text]]>
</custom>
I'd like to do a Find/Replace that produces:
<custom>
</custom>
In essence, I'd like to strip all of the content between two tags. Ideally, I'd like to know how to strip the CDATA content as well, to return the following:
<custom>
<![CDATA[]]>
</custom>
I'd much appreciate any suggestions on accomplishing this.
Many thanks!

Thanks much for your response. I found David's article to be a little thin with respect to examples using quantifiers in coordination with the wildcard metacharacters; however, I was able to cobble together a working expression through trial and error using the information he presented. For posterity, here’s the solution:
Find:
<custom>[\d\D]*?</custom>
Replace:
<custom>
<![CDATA[]]>
</custom>
I believe this literally translates to:
[] = find anything in this range/character class
\d = find any digit character (i.e. any number)
\D = find any non-digit character (i.e. anything except numbers)
*? = match zero or more times, but as few times as possible (i.e. match multiple characters per instance, but only match one instance at a time, or none at all)
I’m still not sure how to effectively utilize the . wildcard. For example, the following expression will not find content that ends with a number:
<custom>.*?[\D]*?</ custom >
I'm presuming this is because numbers aren't included in the \D metacharacter; however, shouldn't numbers be picked up by the .*? expression?

Font changes automatically in Lotus Notes & Excel Find/Replace pops up

I am using Win XP SP3 and FF 14.0.1
I recently (last couple of weeks) noticed that, when FF 14.0.1 is running, the font size, color, bold and bullet will change automatically in Lotus Notes. Sometimes the font changes from normal horizontal to all vertical. And these changes can reverse while I watch or continue trying to type.
Also, in Excel 2007, the Find & Replace box will automatically pop up and keep popping up after I close it.
My IT support suspected Malware on my laptop and loaded & ran Malwarebytes on my laptop and it found two items which I removed. But the problem was still there. Next we reinstalled Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5.1 --- still did not solve the problem.
I began my FF troubleshooting by disabling add-ons one-by-one in the reverse order of addition (newest added was disabled first) until I got to the point before which I previously did not have this problem. But this did not find an offending add-on. (I still have these add-ons disabled.)
Next, I went brute force and restarted FF with '''ALL''' add-ons disabled (using the Help option to do so). This did '''NOT''' fix the problem.
Then I happened to find out that the problem went away -- completely -- if FF was NOT running. I have checked / verified this several times --- somehow FF 14.0.1 certainly appears to be the cause. As I recall I only experienced these issues AFTER I updated to FF 14.0.1
I hope a solution can be found -- otherwise I will no longer be able to use FF at work.

Would be great if files could be attached when questions are being created. I exceeded the max allowed characters when I tried to paste my FF troubleshooting info. So, I had to delete many lines. I saved the info in a file, but no way to attach it before the question is posted.

Find+replace in all Pages files in a folder

Hi,
A simple question (?). I have a long manuscript which is a folder comprising several dozens of Pages documents. I would like to execute a find+replace command across all the individual documents (without having to open them all one by one...) I guess Applescript will be the answer, but I am not experienced in its use... Would there be a pre-existing script available? I have searched, but with no success.
Many thanks.

Ned is right... if the server can do it, let it. Also - I only wish Flash had file system access on servers... but if they did - how would Adobe sell Flash Media Server?
Google php filelist, php directory list, etc... you'll find lots of useful scripts.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

I do i find and replace all in numbers

How do I find and replace all. It is time-consuming to find and replace one entry at a time.

Works here. As you can see, all three instances were located, in my test.
Can you think af anything that could be different in your case than in my example?

CS6 Find Font Replace All replaces all the text in that font with a space.

Anybody else have this happen? It's happened to me more than once, so I don't think it's a fluke. The first time around I never noticed it until it was way too late to use UNDO. Disconcerting to say the least. It takes out all the words in that font and inserts a space.

Why not there a "Find/replace in Grep style" inside the Para style?

Whenever I type a digit in my text, it should be colored red as per style. I do this by grep style inside the para style, but now I need to insert brackets before and after of the digit(s), i realize that there is no replace option in grep style in the para style. Why not it be there a "find/replace" instead "find" only as it now appears?

Ya, this is simple, finding a specific para style with digit and change them, when the book in first pass. But while in the correction pass of the same book, whenever we are inserting more text into the document, there are chances to be unaware of the digit style that, it should be surrounded by brackets, and it happened earlier so I have a thought of it. Again, while paginating a book having more than 350 - 600 pages, and 3 to 4 guys working in it, I think this may work.
Expecting your valuable comment on this.

I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

Prevent Find and Replace from closing after clicking "Replace All"

With the latest release of Dreamweaver CC (2014.1.1), there's been a minor change to the way Find and Replace works. I use Find and Replace a lot to clean up and delete code, so I might do many searches in a row to get things tidy. With the new version however, the Find and Replace window always closes after clicking "Replace All", which is very cumbersome. I need to open it up again, and it doesn't remember the text I entered to use as a replacement.
Does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this window from closing after doing a Replace All? The previous version of Dreamweaver would keep it open and remember the text either until I changed it or I closed Find and Replace myself.
Any pointers that would get me a little closer to the previous version's functionality would be appreciated!

You need to do a find/change for each code individually, but it should be scriptable to take the .csv file and use it to load the find and change values. I'd try asking this over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting
