Search and Replace "Column Break" with "Page Break"?

Hi,
I have been using the "column break" where I really should have been using the "page break". The page break just makes more sense in my layout.
Is there anyway to search and replace the column break with a page break?
Thanks,
Rhek

How do I search and replace for invisibles in Pages 5.5.2?

Three related problems all involving search and replace for invisibles.
1. A block of text where all double returns need to become single returns.
2. A block of text where all returns need to be replaced with a single word space.
3. A block of text where all double word spaces to be replaced with a single word space.
Pages 09 could do all three this handily. How can these be done in Pages 5.5.2?
Appreciated.

Here are screenshot of my attempts to make reducing double returns to one. First up selection of a double return:
Copy to the clipboard. Do a Command-F. Here's the resulting dialogue:
I paste in the contents of the clipboard:
Note the Search field no longer has an empty slot selected. Something is clearly in there, but no instance of whatever is has been found. Nevertheless, I proceed to set up the Replace field by selecting a single return:
Copy that to the clipboard and paste into the Replace field:
Nothing to search for and therefore nothing to replace. Am now wondering what that little scoop to the right of the eyeglass icon might indicate. Clicking on it reveals this:
Definitely not "a solution that just works."

Alternate Search and Replace Tool

I need to automatically search a piece of HTML code in
hundreds of help topics. Unfortunately, since RoboHelp's
"Multi-File Find and Replace" tool doesn't accept carriage returns,
it won't accept the three-line string of HTML I need to replace.
Can anyone suggest a (hopefully free) third-party
search-and-replace tool that won't break RoboHelp in some way? I'm
a bit worried because I'll be pasting a ton of conditional text
markers.

Hi, Adam,
Two find-and-replace tools that are often mentioned in these
forums are FAR and BK ReplaceEM. FAR is shareware, but free to use
for the first two months; BK ReplaceEM is freeware.

Search and replace in Muse files

I have a lot of links to my own files in a given web page.
I will be relocating the files and want to know if I can run a search and replace the links with their new urls on the Muse files
I do not want to be manually replacing each link using the Muse add link button. That will take forever.
I will be using a separate search and replace program not anything within Muse
Clear?

Hi J KIrby,
You have the option of 'Find and Replace' in Muse under 'Edit' menu option.
Also, please refer to our release notes page to see what other features have been added to muse in the last update - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC

replaceAll method in String is available only from 1.4 onwards.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#replaceAll(java.lang.String, java.lang.String).
You could use a method to search and replace a String with another...
public String replace (String source, String search, String replace) {
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
    int start = 0;
    int index = 0;
    while ((index = source.indexOf(search, start)) >= 0) {
      result.append(source.substring(start, index));
      result.append(replace);
      start = index + search.length();
    result.append(source.substring(start));
    return result.toString();
}

Perform search and replace in a custom command?

Hello,
Does anyone know how to perform a search and replace for selected text in a custom command?
My specific dilemma is this: I have a large document containing [very poorly formatted] songs. For example:
Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1
Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1
Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1 Verse1
Chorus Chorus Chorus Chorus
Chorus Chorus Chorus Chorus
Chorus Chorus Chorus Chorus
Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2
Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2
Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2 Verse2
Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3
Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3
Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3 Verse3
I would like to be able to select all the text in a verse and run my custom command on it that would remove the "" and replace "" with " ".
Thanks,
Kelso

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

Hi
I am facing an issue with Page break only when I have sorting applied on the grouping that I have in the template.
The following is the sample XML
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<GRE>org1</GRE>
<ORGANIZATION>Accounts</ORGANIZATION>
<FULL_NAME>test1,</FULL_NAME>
<ELEMENT_NAME>TEST BONUS</ELEMENT_NAME>

<MONTH_VALUE>500</MONTH_VALUE>
<QUARTER_VALUE>500</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>500</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<GRE>org1</GRE>

<QUARTER_VALUE>360</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>360</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

Search and Replace in Pages 5

Search and Replace in Pages is now seriously regressive. Previously I could search for "invisibles" in a document and globally replace the search "invisible" by a replace one. Now I can't find a way of doing that. Any suggestions?

Try this:
Turn on Show Invisibles in the View menu.
Select (highlight) the double para breaks.
Use Command-E (Find using selected text).
Open the Find dialogue box (Command-F) and select Find & Replace.The selected para breaks will be in the Find text entry box, but will not be visible!
Click in the Replace text entry box.
Select (highlight) a single para break.
Go to the Edit menu / Find and select 'Use selection for replace' (it will not show in the Replace entry box).
In the Find & Replace dialogue box, click on the Forward or Back arrows to highlight the selected items (e.g. double para break) where you wish to start replacing in the document.
Use the Replace All / Replace & Find / Replace buttons as per usual.
Not a nice solution, but I hope it gets you going until Apple restores the previous functionality!

Smartform issue with page break

Hi All,
I have an unusual issue with page break. Here is my scenario, I have a group of items in my table main area and for each group there is sort of header that prints. Similarly there are multiple groups needing a header whenever there is a new group printing. So far it prints fine. But whenever there is a page break and when items from the same group also print on the next page the same header needs to print on the top of next page similar to how the header area repeats on each page. Unfortunately I did not see any page break event for table main area.
Here is an alternative I have tried but having issues: I have created two rows for this group header one printing from header and another printing from main area. Whenever there is a page break the same group header prints as part of the header and on the rest of the page it prints from the main area. But in a particular scenario, there is a new group starting at almost bottom of the page but as there is not enough space left on the same page (page protection) jumps to next page. In this case there are two group headers printed one coming from the preivous page main area and another coming from the next page header. I hope my explanation is clear enough to understand.
Please suggest if there is any basic feature of smartform that I have missed out can solve this issue or if there is another alternative you can think of. I appreciate your responses.
Thanks..

I was able to solve this issue on my own.
Instead of checking for a page break on header line I am using a flag that is prepopulated in the table. I set this flag whenver a new group of items starts. If the flag is set I print it from the main area and if it is not set I print it from the header. This helped in avoiding the multiple header lines..

Search and Replace String throwing the wrong error message with regexp?

This came up in a LAVA thread, and I'm not sure if there's a bug here or not. When using Search and Replace string, and using a regular expression of [(G[b|i])], LabVIEW throws error -4622, "There is an unmatched parenthesis in a regular expression." There are obviously no unmatched parenthesis in that expression, so it seems to me that the wrong error is being thrown. I'm just not sure if that's a syntactically valid regexp. The problem seems to be with nesting [ ]'s inside ( )'s inside [ ]'s. I've tried a couple of regexp resources on the Web, and one suggests it's valid, while the other seems to think it isn't.

I think your regexp is invalid.
In regexps, brackets are not the same as parentheses. Parens are for grouping, while brackets are for matching one of a class of characters. Brackets can not be nested.
If the regexp is replaced with [G[bi]], there is no error, so it's not a matter of nested brackets. I couldn't find anything on the PCRE man page that forbids nested brackets specifically, but it makes sense.
Your expression "[(G[bi])]", therefore parses as a character class which matches '(', 'G', '[', 'b', or 'i' followed by an unmatched paren, and an unmatched bracket.
I don't believe that's the case. Replace the regexp with [(Gbi)], and the error goes away. So it's not a matter of the '(' being literal, and then encountering a ')' without a matching '('.
daveTW wrote:
what string exactly you want to replace? I think the round braces are not right in this case, since they mark partial matches which are given back by "match regular expression". But you don't want to extract parts of the string, you want to replace them (or delete, with empty <replace string>). So if you leave the outer [( ... )] then your RegEx means all strings with either "Gb" or "Gi".
It's not my regular expression. A poster at LAVA was having problems with one of his (a truly frightening one), and this seemed to be the element that was causing the problem. I'm pretty sure that the originator of the regexp meant to use G(b|i), which seems like a complicated way of matching "Gb" or "Gi", if you ask me.

Help with Page Breaks!

Hello,
I am having great difficulty with page breaks.
I have included a link below to a jpg of a format template I am working on (edited for public release, but it works):
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/pagebreaksample.jpg
The layout template has many text form fields but I have re-colored them all to grey so that the pagebreak stands out in pink (and default text is the same as the help text for clarity).
The data format that I am using for this layout template can be found at:
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/testdata.xml
This data is for sample use only and would (normally) contain many G_ORDERS for multiple G_ORD_TYPES in multiple G_REGIONS.
My problem is that it does not matter where I place the page break, it simply does not work correctly.
As you can see from the current placement I WISH the report to break between each and every occurrences of REGION in the group “REGION”. At this placement it does not break at all.
I ‘can’ get the report to break (incorrectly, but at least it breaks) if I place this exact same syntax into the innermost grouping of data (i.e. the G_ORDER group) but even then the breaking is NOT CONSISTENT at all. In this case I would ‘expect’ it to break before every order…it does not.
I have also tried the syntax: “ <xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="1=1"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute></xsl:if> “ (without the quotes which got from he forum here) as well as the MSWORD pagebreak (which has never worked for me). None of these work correctly.
Any assistance in or insight into getting my reports to CONSISTENTLY break at the appropriate times would be most appreciated as I have been trying to get this to work for several days now...
Thank you,
Scott

Hello again!
I have the pagebreak problem working, but I would dearly like some insight as to why/how it is working…
I have template builder 10.1.3.2.1 for reference and I now have the report breaking at the correct times, i.e. after each region.
My confusion is that to get it to work I must use the syntax and placement of the pagebreak text field exactly as shown below. No other placement cause the pages to break correctly and the other syntax sample varations I have found on this forum, etc (listed above) do not work at all.
Please review the link to the (now working format template) jpg and provide feedback/insight.

Thanks in advance for feedback,

Xml search and replace for 'Session Variables' in column title view

Hi Experts,
I have around 10 reports where measure column titles are displayed based the session variable.
Below is the syntax I have used in the column title
@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']}
Now I would like to replace the above syntax with some static text. To do this, I am trying to use the xml search and replace feature in the catalog manager.
For some reason, catalog manager is unable to find the syntax in the xml file. I have tried using escape character also for the apostrophe by using &apos, but no luck.
Any pointers on how to replace the text?
Thanks

Using Analysis get the xml conversion for @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.VariableName']} from Advanced tab's xml code
use this code to find in catalog manager, if you able to find then go for search and replace option.
I think this should work for you.

Problem with search and replace

I'm workin on Windows XP, Dreamwearver 8
When I do a search and replace in a site, the changes will be
made correctly, however, the auto date stamp that I'm using on my
pages will duplicate on random pages and overwrite text This
doesn't occur on all pages, and isn't connected with the actual
change I'm making. Has anyone experienced this?

Ok Gary, but...
in a SQLWorksheet write:
ababab
Now Edit -> Replace search for b , replace with \nb
Result (the last b is not replaced):
a
ba
bab
At this point, I want to have my string back on one line: Edit -> Replace search for \n , replace with (nothing here)
Result: The search text "\n" was not found.
And to make it work I have to tick the Regular Expressions checkbox (in this case substitute escaped characters is ignored).
While I agree that "it is good to have a choice", I personally find it confusing: none of the few text editors I use (Linux or OSX) behaves this way.
Regards.
Alessandro

Search and Replace on master pages

Is there a way to do Search and Replace on masterpages.
Example: There are 30 files in a .book document.
On those 20 files the header and footer must change.
The header and footer are on the master pages.
Can you p. e. change "Haeder1" to "Header1" with Search and Replace?
Right now we do it on this way:
Open all files in book
Set view to Masterpage manually file per file (30 times).
Search "Haeder1" and replace with "Header1" (option search in book)
Is there a way to do it faster?
Thanks in advance
Sander Gheldof

Thanks for your help...but the headers aren't variables...
It may be that your solution is to bite the bullet today and do the page-by-page change of your headers to variables.
System header variables can, for example, contain text from a paragraph style such as a level-[ 1 | 2 | 3...] heading. Or other values received from a FrameMaker named paragraph style.
User-defined variables can also be used in headers and footers, although they can't be made to do the zippy automatic things system header/footer variables do...
The essential point being that after doing it the hard way today, you may never need to do it again tomorrow. Or, alternatively, subsequent changes can be effected by changing the value of the variable and importing that into the desired target chapter files...
Cheers & hope this helps,
Riley
