T-Code to find changes

Can any one please tell me:-
1- The T-Code to find out the changes made in standard SAP programs by consultants who were on this project before so that i get the exact count of how many programs have been changed?
2-How do i find out the number of logical databases created?
3-How do i find out the number of use exits and customer exits implemented?
4-Number of programs in which BDC is involved?
Thanks in advance

1- The T-Code to find out the changes made in standard SAP programs by consultants who were on this project before so that i get the exact count of how many programs have been changed?
You can use the version management concept.
try menu path GOTO > VERSION > VERSION MANAGEMENT.
This will show the versions / changes made to a program from time to time.

GREP code for find/change

Hi everyone,
I have a list of about 500 entries, with each entry being formatted as follows:
Firstname [tab] Lastname [tab] State [tab] Level
I need to perform a find/change operation using some GREP code that will target the tab between the first and last name and replace it with a space. Then I need to target the tab between the last name and the state and replace it with a comma and a space. Then finally I need to target the tab between the state and level and also replace it with a comma and space.
I wondered if someone could tell me what the code would be for this type of operation?
Appreciate any assistance.

You can also do it in a single search:
Find
(.+?)\t(.+?)\t(.+?)\t
Replace
$1 $2, $3,
(there's a space after the $3,)

Find/Change HELP

Hi,
Anyone know the code for find/change command on text for specific pages?
Example: I want to change some text from page 20 to 40 -
Please help

There is no such code.
You can select all the text you want and apply your changes to "Selection" only. (Of course you can only select contiguous text -- that is, all of the text frames should belong to a single running story.)

[JS CS3] Find/Change "[Basic Paragraph]" style

I'm trying to find all occurances of the [Basic Paragraph] style and replace them with [No Paragraph Style]. I'm using:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph Style]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";
I get the message "Invalid value for set property 'appliedParagraphStyle'. Expected String, ParagraphStyle or NothingEnum enumerator, but received "[Basic Paragraph Style]"."
I've tried every combination of brackets, no brackets, quotes, no quotes, etc. It doesn't seem like this can be scripted, even though it can be done via find/change in InDesign. Am I banging my head against the wall? Does anyone know if this can be done?

"[Basic Paragraph]" as shown in the code below doesn't work either. (the word "Style" actually snuck in as I was trying different variations. But no combination seems to work.
If anyone knows that [Basic Paragraph] can or cannot be accessed via scripting, I'd like to know. Thanks.
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";

Finished script: Use grep find/change to fill in a supplied table of contents

This script is now complete, and has been the subject of most of my previous posts. Just in case anyone wanted to know what the finished script ended as, here it is.
Thanks so much to all. A lot of really helpful folks on this board are very responsible for the success of this task. This script is to be one of hopefully many in the creation of our records. But it's a huge leap forward. Thanks again to everyone that helped.
Cheers,

Task:
Automatically find town names in listings, and fill in table of contents template on page 2 accordingly.
Example of page 2 toc, initially:
Example of a page of content. The town names are what need to be referenced on the TOC:
Example of page 2 toc once script is finished:
Because of the need to include the transaction dates on the TOC (comes as a provided, tagged-text file), a simple Indesign-generated TOC can't be used alone.
This script uses an Indesign-generated TOC that's on a master page called "T-tocGen" ... It then uses grep search and replaces to grab the needed information, and insert it into the page 2 TOC.
The script will update a generated TOC and then search for an instance of a page number, and town name. The generated toc lists all included towns in the following format:
(line start)## tab townName(line end)
In Grep, this would be (please note, extra \ for \d and \t ... javascript needs that for some reason):
^\\d+\\t(.*)$
After the script gets the info it needs from a found instance of the above, it replaces that line with "---", to prevent that line from being picked up once again.
The script with then place the needed page number in it's rightful place on page 2, replacing the XX.
A while loop is used to repeat the above process until there are no longer any instances of "^\\d+\\t(.*)$" present.
Not every town runs every issue, so once the script is done, it removes all remaining instance of "XX" on the page 2 TOC.
FINAL CODE:
TOC replace
This script will use grep find/change methods to apply page numbers in
tocGen to the XX's on page2TOC.
// define the text frame of generated TOC
    var tocGenFrame = document.masterSpreads.item("T-tocGen").pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0);

Thanks for the reply.
You are correct but the problem is there are three rows, One row is 100% black, the second is 60% black and the third is 40% black. I want to change the black to blue, the 60% black to an orange and the 40% black to a light shaded blue. In the find/change option you can select the tint you want to find and replace but yea.. does work on table cells.. oddly enough.

GREP 'find/change' by list script: find a text string containing different para styles

Hi
I'm don't write scripts but do 'enjoy' copying, pasting and changing existing code/txt files.
I have built a GREP find/change .txt that performs a large number of text edits/changes.
But I'm left with an issue where I have paragraphs of text (styled earlier in the .txt file) that I'm unable to identify using GREP the usual way. I need to identify text in a particular paragraph style, followed by text in another paragraph style.
Is it possible with GREP to create a search string to find: text styled with one paragraph style, ending with a paragraph return, and to include in that selection the following paragraph/s styled with another paragraph style?
MTIA Steve

seb400 napisał(-a):
What do you mean by I would mark "changing" in "copying, pasting and changing"?
Hi Steve,
I mean I can see a way by modifying some existing code with "find...change" job
1. set criteria to findGrep
2. store findGrep() in an array
3. check each found object if next paragraph matches some new criteria
4. run changeGrep() if true

Applescript find/change problem

I have some text which needs to be styled in InDesign CS4 which has a bunch of extraneous tags ( eg. , , etc.). I have customised the FindChangeList.txt file that supports the FindChangeByList.applescript file to do things like:
{find what:""}
{change to:"^S"}
which can then be picked up by a nested style. All good so far.
Problem: the applescript will just not 'see' the strings or in FindChangeList.txt. It treats them like they aren't there. I can do it using the find/replace within InDesign, it works fine there, but my problem is that I have hundreds of pieces of copy to import and I'd like to automate as much as possible. Using GREP has the same effect, ie. works in find/replace within InDesign, but not with applescript.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really killing me at the moment. Thanks!
Content of FindChangeList.txt follows. The command in the final line works, the command in the second-last line doesn't.
(FYI the second line of code contains 'InDesign CS3' regardless of whether I use CS3 or CS4. I guess they didn't update the file)
--FindChangeList.txt
--A support file for the InDesign CS3 AppleScript FindChangeByList.applescript
--This data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records.
--The format of each record in the file is:
--findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptions<tab>description
--Where:
--<tab> is a tab character
--findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use).
--findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences.
--changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences.
--findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options.
--description is a description of the find/change operation
--Very simple example:
--text {find what:"--"} {change to:"^_"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash.
--More complex example:
--text {find what:"^9^9.^9^9"} {applied character style:"price"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price".
--All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "find what" and "change to" properties.
text {find what:""} {change to:"^S"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all bold and replace with non-breaking space.
text {find what:""} {change to:"^S"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all italics and replace with non-breaking space.

You probably should post this in the ID Scripting forum. Here's an example of some simple AppleScript find and changes that might help:
--find and replace keyboard formating
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
 --first clear the preferences
 set find text preferences to nothing
 set change text preferences to nothing
 --replaces non breaking space with space
 set find what of find text preferences to "^s"
 set change to of change text preferences to "<0020>"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces soft return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^n"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces return space with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p<0020>"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 2 returns with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces return, tab, return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p^t^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces space, return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "<0020>^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces space, space with space
 set find what of find text preferences to "<0020><0020>"
 set change to of change text preferences to "<0020>"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 3 tabs with tab
 set find what of find text preferences to "^t^t^t"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^t"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 2 tabs with tab
 set find what of find text preferences to "^t^t"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^t"
 set myFoundItems to change text

JS:CS3 Newbie needs help! find/change character styles

I'm new to scripting and JavaScript is giving me a headache, but I'll keep trying. What I'm trying to do is automate a few things so that the production time of our school newspaper is reduced while insuring accuracy.
I've played around a little with the text find change sample and the changing or adding paragraph styles in the InDesignCS3_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf and I barely understand what I'm doing.
When us page designers receive text to place in the document, our editors mark the text with tags like: text, where the word "text" is to be bolded. (there wouldn't any spaces between < and b and > etc. I just did that so It'll show up here). We have basic character styles and paragraph styles set up, and we just started working with nested styles.
Is there a way we can search for the tag and bold everything after it up until the tag? Sort of the way it does for html (the way it would do for this message if I took out the spaces). It'll be great if it could remove the tags as well, but if not, I know I could create a find/change script to do the removal afterwards.
I appreciate any input.
Thanks!

You've not found yourself the easiest of tasks! You need GREP find/replace, not text. Do you have any experience with GREP? It's worth investigating, it's a powerful feature. The script below handles bold. For clarity, it doesn't do any error checking: it assumes that there's a document with text in it and that the document contains a character style called 'bold'.
// talk to Indesign, nobody else
#target indesign
// reset the Find/Change dialog
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
// find everything between and (including these codes)
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '.+?';
// add 'bold' style
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'bold';
// make the changes
app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
// now delete the and codes
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '</?b>';
app.changeGrep();
You can adapt it easily to handle other codes, and at a later stage you could generalise it so that you needn't repeat whole bunches of code.
Good luck with your first forays. Again, it's not the easiest of tasks, but it's worth getting to grips with.

[JS CS3] How to load Find/Change dialog?

Hello,
Below is a script that uses GREP to find straight apostrophies and then change them to smart (curly) ones. The script invokes the Find/Change dialog so that the user can see what she or he is doing.
However, if the user last used the Find/Change dialog in the TEXT mode, that is the mode that appears. I want the script to go to the GREP mode. I see that there is code for app.loadFindChangeQuery(queryName, searchMode), but I have no idea what the "queryName" is and how to use it in this script.
Thanks for any help.
Tom
theGrepLoader("~'", "~]");
function theGrepLoader(grepFindIt, grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    app.menuActions.item("Find/Change...").invoke();
}//end theGrepLoader

Thanks, Peter!
I appreciate your help but I have found another solution. I am amazed at my own stupidity sometimes. You see, I do my scripting in a very lame sort of way because I have never used Javascript outside of InDesign. As such, I find myself at a disadvantage because the documentation that Adobe provides assumes that you are aware of many of the basics. Case in point: I have always had trouble manipulating strings because I NEVER KNEW that you could search and replace strings! I just could not find examples of this in the Adobe documentation. So here I was in some cases adding temporary textFrames so I could get to my strings as text contents and then removing the temporary textFrames at the end of the script. In this particular case I needed to merge several paragraphs into one paragraph. Now that I know how to search & replace strings, it is so simple to strip away all the paragraph returns (which are included in text contents). I am learning, albeit rather slowly. Thanks again.

[CS3 JS] Find/Change Object Problem

app.changeObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing does not seem to clear the change object preferences for me.
app.findObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing works as expected, as do both app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing and app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing.
Does anyone else use the new Find/Change Object?

Hello. I'm new here but it seems to be the only place where I can post this question to.
I'm working in a C# application that uses InDesign CS3 scripting. I'm trying to create an index automatically from a tabbed list of words in a text file.
As C# is a strongly typed language, I have to cast all objects to the right type. I'm having problems when I try to add the page numbers to the created index entries using the following code (I've used the CreateIndexEntry.jsx scrip as a starting point).
//Find all occurrences of the word or set of words (the topic name)
((InDesign.FindTextPreference) app.FindTextPreferences).FindWhat = topic.Name;
InDesign.Objects foundTexts = doc.FindText(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
It's supposed to be an Array of Text objects (InDesign.Text) but when I try to cast each object using this
//Code is forced because I've tried everything here
//Loop through each finding and add page numbers to topic
IEnumerator textEnum = foundTexts.GetEnumerator();
while (textEnum.MoveNext())
object text = textEnum.Current;
topic.PageReferences.Add((InDesign.Text)text, InDesign.idPageReferenceType.idCurrentPage, System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
I got the following exception (translated).
text is not an InDesign.Text object (Interfaces doesn't match)
So the question is what object type should I use to cast each object resulting by calling the Document's FindText method.
Every suggestion will ve very welcome.
Thank You very much.

Multiple find/changes into one step?

Hi there
I have a series of find / changes that I need to do for all the chapters in a book. They'll be the same each time, and rather than do all ten of them for each chapter I'm wondering how I can condense it into one process that I can run on each chapter, perhaps through scripting. Any ideas?
I do have a little scripting experience, but not enough to tackle it myself yet. Is there another way to automate the steps? Or does anyone have some base code I could work from?
I'm working in CS3 on a Mac.

One of the standard scripts that come with InDesign is FindChangeByList.jsx -- it's installed by default in Application/Samples/Javascript. There is also a VB version.
You don't have to adjust the script; the changes it makes are listed in a specialized format in the file FindChangeList.txt.

Script for running multiple find/change queries

Working on a large ID book document (*.indb), I have saved several dozens of Find/Change Queries (named "col01", "col02" etc.) that I run on "All documents". For a particular reason I have to run these queries several times a day.
So I was wondering whether there is, or whether anybody out there would write, a script that runs these queries one after the other. Given the size of the book, it might be necessary to provide for the script to pause after each query is run (before it goes on with the next), but I am just guessing.
Any help is much appreciated!

There are a couple of others:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5173943#5173943
this is more at code level rather than a GUI, but the actual queries are made using the Find/Change dialog box.
Also
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/grep_query_manager.html
This is good too, but only does GREP searches (no text, glyph or object find/replaces) that were written by the user - does not use the ones installed with InDesign. Does allow changes by selection, story, document or folder.
Did try the Doquerylist suggested by Kasyan. This allows GREP/text changes by the user/installed with InDesign, but only applies to a selection or text-thread.
Always good to have more than one way of accomplishing a task though!

Find/Change w/Multiple items on clipboard/cursor

WinXP, IDCS3 5.0.2
Is it possible to find/change with the change to contents of clipboard when multiple items are loaded to cursor (change to = ^c) but w/1,2 or 3 or someother code to tell it which loaded cursor item to change to??
thanks
sandy

A loaded cursor is not the clipboard. Replacing with ^c gets you the
contents of the clipboard, not the contents of a loaded cursor. There is
only one clipboard, so no matter how much text you copy, whatever you
last copied is what you're going to get with ^c. No choices.
What is it you want to Find/Replace? Maybe there's some other way to
accomplish it.

Reference saved query in Find/change script?

I want to use the find change script included with InDesign but I want to reference my saved queries. The reference for this script doesn't explain how to do this but this seems like the best way to run several queries in a row.
The Find Change script refrences a text document that tells it what to find and change.
Thanks
Jesse

From the Help (with quite a lot of searching):
b Application
void loadFindChangeQuery (queryName: string, searchMode: SearchModes)
Loads the specified find/change query.
queryName string The query to load.
searchMode SearchModes: TEXT_SEARCH
GREP_SEARCH
GLYPH_SEARCH
OBJECT_SEARCH
I sort of gathered it should be under Application, and so it was. And in hindsight, with a logical name as well! Didn't even know ID could do this.
The ESTK2 does not supply code snippets, but I'm sure you can work it out from this :-)

Find /change batch in InDesign CS5

I understand that scripts can be written to batch find/change. I see where the file is under utilities and I'm sure it's very simple to someone familiar with scripting, but I'm not a programmer so was wondering if someone would write thi
s for me. I need to find two spaces and replace with one;
find two periods and replace with one; find 1/4 and replace with ALT+0188; find "-ALT+188" and replace with ALT+0188
; find 1/2 and replace with ALT+0189; find "-ALT+189" and replace with ALT+0189; find 3/4 and replace with ALT+1090; find "-ALT+190" and replace with ALT+0190; find ".net."and replace with .net; find ".com" and replace with .com; find ".org." and replace with .org; find paragraph style "Boxed Ad" and replace with "Classified"; find format Helvetica, Bold, Center and replace with paragraph style "Bold Center".
I'm very grateful to anyone who can help!

This is required very minimal scripting knowledge.
Open all document required to find change stuff and run below javascript code
 var ReplaceArray = [[" ", " "], ["..", "."], ["1/4", "ALT+0188"], ["1/2", "ALT+0189"],
 ["-ALT+188", "ALT+0188"], ["-ALT+189", "ALT+189"], ["3/4", "ALT+1090"], ["-ALT+190", "ALT+0190"],
 [".net.", ".net;"], [".com", ".com;"], [".org.", ".org;"]];
 for(j=0; j<ReplaceArray.length; j++)
