Replace textmarker with number (1, 2, 3 ...)
I wonder if there's a way to work with variables in Indesign.
I've got a indesign file that contains multiple occurences of "##" (as placeholder-text).
I want to replace the first occurence with the number 1, the second with the number 2 and so on...
Is there a way this can be done with scripting in Indesign.
(The way i do this now is by exporting the file to xtag-text and then use a php-script to replace the markers in the tagged file)
Hi,
Try this as a .jsx script to run from ESTK or ID Script Panel:
#target indesign
var
placeholder = "##",
mFound, len, start = 1;
if (app.selection[0] && (app.selection[0] instanceof "Text Frame" || app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baseline") ) )
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
else { alert("Select target textFrame or some part of target text\rand try again!"); exit();}
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = placeholder;
mFound = mStory.findText();
len = mFound.length;
while (len-->0)
mFound[len].contents = (len + start).toString();
- placeholder is a string to find; start is a value of first number to replace.
- some part of text or textFrame should be selected.

One thing's to be clarified :
If you need sometimes number & sometimes text in a particular target field, then it has to be a char field and you cant do any mathematical operation on that later.

How to replace name with number ID
Example:
Table1
T1ID Name1
1 John Smith
2 Kathy Smith
Table2
T2ID Name2
100 John Smith
101 Kathy Smith
102 John Smith
103 Kathy Smith
I want to replace all names in column called Name2 in Table 2, with matching T1ID from Table 1. There are many name repetitions in Table 2.If Name2 is VARCHAR and T1id is number then it would be better to add a new column with a consistent data type;
Sample data;
create table table1 as (
select 1 t1id, 'John Smith' name1 from dual union all
select 2, 'Kathy Smith'from dual);
Table created
alter table table1 add constraint table1_pk primary key (t1id);
Table altered
create table table2 as (
select 100 t2id, 'John Smith' name2 from dual union all
select 101, 'Kathy Smith' from dual union all
select 102, 'John Smith' from dual union all
select 103, 'Kathy Smith' from dual);
Table createdAdd the new column;
alter table table2
add name_id references table1(t1id);
Table alteredUpdate the new column;
merge into table2 t2
using (select t1id, name1
from table1) t1
on (t2.name2 = t1.name1)
when matched then
update
set t2.name_id = t1.t1id;
DoneDrop the retired column;
alter table table2 drop column name2;
Table altered
select * from table2;
T2ID NAME_ID
100 1
101 2
102 1
103 2 -
I currently have an old work phone that is synced to my iPad. I would like to delete the old work phone number from my iCloud without having to contact my previous employer. Is there a way to do this from my ipad and replace it with my personal iPhone?

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address.

Replacing character and number e.g #1154;#" with a comma using powershell
Hi there,
How can i replace
I have a string like below and would like to replace ";#1154;#" with a comma.
tried using (;#)\d{4}(;#)" but it doesnt work
Amber Wood;#1154;#John Roberts;#1121;#Peter Ma;#1597;#
Thanks in Advance
Output should be :
Amber Wood,John Roberts,Peter MaThe regex is almost right, but you don't need the normal brackets. If you remove them as per :
$a = "Amber Wood;#1154;#John Roberts;#1121;#Peter Ma;#1597;#"
$b = $a -replace ";#\d{4};#",","
$b
you'll see that works. -
Satellite C850 - boot from DVD issue - want to replace Win8 with Win7U
Got a new C850-1JZ yesterday and am trying to replace pre-installed Win 8 with Windows 7. I did create the recovery media (3 DVDs).
The laptop is driving me "insane" as it seems to block any attempt to boot anything else other than Win8 on the preinstalled hdd.
1.) Inserted Win 7 Ultimate DVD and tried to boot, would not boot from disk.
2.) Loaded advanced boot menu and tried to boot from ODD, would not boot from disk it. (Options are LAN, USB, HDD, and ODD (assuming this is optical disk drive)
3.) Changed regular bios settings boot priority to boot from ODD first, then HDD, would not boot from disk.
4.) Learned there is a "security boot protection" mechanism enabled by default in the bios. Turned it off. Machine starts loading from ODD and says "Windows is loading files" then hangs. This is a MS original Win7 Ultimate disk from the Microsoft store, no scratches. Makes no sense. We actually have 2 of them, so I tried the other, same result.
5.) Thought screw that, let's just put the hard drive from the other computer (T61) in here then and do clean new setup another time. Replaced hdd with other sata hdd that has Win 7 ultimate installed and system configured. When booting from hdd, it says "No OS" found and reboots. When booting from ODD, it starts with windows is loading files again and then freezes.
What kind of other extra protection/virus blocker/stupid setting am I missing here? This is puzzling me. Thanks.*Thanks as***, that solves the problem.*
After 10 days Toshiba Support in Germany came back with the same answer.
Basically it seems the UEFI Firmware has some reference to Win 8 or the original OS and key and boat loader that is checks, and you cannot load anything else until you disable it by:
1) In the BIOS, disable "secure boot" mode
2) In the BIOS advanced settings, switch from UEFI to CMS mode.
Then you should be able to install anything as the new OS.
Also, if you want to write down your product key / serial number , since it is not printed anywhere (e.g. no sticker on the bottom of the laptop) [Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit|http://belarc.com/free_download.html] is a good tool to retrieve this from the registry and write it down.
As far as I know it's "glued" to this particular hardware, so not portable, but it might be a good idea to write it down in case you lose the system recovery disk but would want to re-install it with the original serial number. -
My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?

Please help.Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion. -

Hi ,
I am facing a problem.Kindly reply me soon if anyone has solution to this problem.I have a form in which previously there was listbox.As the listbox has the "label" and "value" property,such property is not available in textbox.Earlier in my prj the form had listbox So the some value was displayed to user ,but in the backend the value of label was saved.In the Cr which i have got I have to replace the listbox with textbox.Also I have to autopopulate the value in the listbox autopopluated based on primary key value.So if we want to replace it with textbox ,how can we get the solution.I know that the list item can be replaced by 2 textbox ,one for diplaying the value of label and another for the value which would be saved in database.I am able to populate the value of label and the data saved in database.However the problem comes when we query the data to see old record. The data is populated but the value of label is not populated as this record is not saved in database.So without saving the information of label in database.How can we achieve the result as we get in listbox.kinly reply soon.
thanksNot very clear about your problem.
From where were you populating the list item previously?I think
its a static list item populated at the design time.
I am trying to reproduce your scenario.If any mistakes please inform..
I created a table TT
sql>desc tt;
Name Null? Type
ID NUMBER
C1 VARCHAR2(10)
STATUS VARCHAR2(1)
Here status column can take values 'C','O','N' or Null
implying 'Open','Closed','Not Available','Unknown' respectively.
Now in the form, Status field is not displayed.Instead,
created a 'dummy' field as char(15), which is displayed
Triggers:
Post-Query(Block-Level TT):
:dummy := case :status when 'C' then 'Closed'
when 'O' then 'Open'
when 'N' then 'Not Available'
else 'Unknown' end;
Pre-Insert
:status := case :dummy when 'Closed' then 'C'
when 'Open' then 'O'
when 'Not Available' then 'N'
else null end;
You can also Validate th item 'dummy' using when-validate-trigger
if :dummy is not null and :dummy not in ('Closed','Open','Not Available') then
message('Invalid Value');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if; -

hello all,
Can anyone suggest me how can I replace 0 with - in all my columns.
Thanks,
RobinnHi Robin,
This is a bit vague but you could use a formula like:
Replace ({table.FIELD}, "0", "-");
If your field is a number then you will have to change it to a string first like:
Replace (ToText ({table.FIELD}, 0, "", ""), "0", "-");
This formula converts the numeric field to a string first, removing the decimals, decimal pointer and thousands separator.
Good luck,
Brian
