Using Grep to change case in 2nd of a two word string

Hello all
I found out after completing my project that I had made a big boo boo.
I have multiple (hundreds) 2 word botanical names of plants which are all located after a certain heading style throughout 400 pages.
The first word in this name is capitalized already. Thats ok. But the second word needs to start with a lower case letter ( Instead of a capital letter like it has now).
All the 2 word names are seperated by commas.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Lauren

Hi Peter
OK
Example:
Plant Species: Crambe Abyssinica
Plant Species Synonyms: Brassica Nigra Var. Abyssinica, Crambe Hispanica, Crambe Kilimandscharica
The headings Plant Species and Plant Species Synonyms are in a character style "Red Bold"
These plant names are all styled with a character style called "Index"
The first heading Plant Species usually only has one 2 part binomial name. In this case the second word 'Abyssinica' needs to start with lower case ( I forgot about these when I posted my request)
The second heading 'Plant Species Synonyms' usually has more than two 2 word names seperated by commas
There are of coarse some plants which have no plant species synonyms.
I was able to create an awesome index with scripting help from this forum (Actually it was you Peter K. with some great help from Peter S. !!)
In order to be 'correct' though these second words of the plant binomial names need to be lowercase.
These headings and format repeat hundreds of times
Does this help clarify things a bit?
Thanks Peter

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.

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.

Question for scripting gurus: GREP search, change case make Smallcaps

I have no knowledge of scripting at all, but this question keeps coming up during training sessions: is it possible to (java)script this:
- Do a GREP search \u\u+
- Change case to lowercase
- Apply SmallCaps (or: apply character style)
this would allow to search for acronyms and change them to smallcaps (or, even better: apply a character style with small caps and tracking)
I know it is easy for OpenType smallcaps (do a GREP search, change to OT smallcaps) but this doesn't really change case. And some fonts used aren't OT.
Anyone?
Would be VERY apreciated!!

But Harbs is a seasoned scripter who knows he'll get flamed if one of his scripts "just does not work" ;)
Well, now that you mention it, the script is not really foolproof. It's a quick and dirty script which I threw together very quickly. It's missing any error checking, some of the variables global, and it's not in a private namespace. These are all things which could cause it to "just not work" ;-)
Here's a more foolproof construct... (and it'll work on the current story if selected, or the whole document if there's no story selected) It will create a new character style if one does not exist and work on character styles within style groups as well. I wrapped the whole script in an anonymous function to give it a unique namespace as well.
(function()
if(app.documents.length==0){return}
var doc=app.documents[0];
// Change the following to your style name!
var character_style_name = 'Small Caps';
try{var range = app.selection[0].parentStory}
catch (err){var range = doc}
//comment out next line if you do not want styles.
var charStyle = GetCharacterStyle(character_style_name,doc);
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\\u\\u+";
var finds=range.findGrep();
for (var i=0;i<finds.length;i++){
finds[i].changecase(ChangecaseMode.lowercase);
//comment out next line if you do not want styles.
finds[i].applyCharacterStyle (charStyle)
//uncomment next line if you do not want styles.
//finds[i].capitalization=Capitalization.smallCaps;
function GetCharacterStyle(styleName,doc){
var charStyles=doc.allCharacterStyles;
for(var i=0;i<charStyles.length;i++){
if(charStyles[i].name==styleName){
return charStyles[i];
return doc.characterStyles.add({name:styleName,capitalization:Capitalization.smallCaps});

Change paragraph style of empty row using GREP

Hello again ... another GREP query if anyone can assist!
How can I change a completely empty paragraph line (like those found between verses in a poem, for example) to a different paragraph style so I can control the space better using GREP?

Fair point ... but if I demonstrate:
Text line here
Text line here
Text line here
Text line here
Text line here
Text line here
The empty row (4) between the two blocks is in the same paragraph style as the rest of the text. Indeed if lines 3 or 5 were in different styles I could remove the empty row and create a space using before/after spacing. But it is all in the same style. I was wondering if there was a way using GREP to change the para style of an empty row ie 4.

The Strange Case of Change Case

My company's name is MCS. When I'm writing in caps, and then I want to re-use that text in sentence case I use Indesign's change case feature to change caps to sentence case. When ever my company's name is in the copy, I always have to go back and re-write it as upper case. I'm afraid that one day Ill forget to do it.
Is there a setting that I could choose so that this particular combination of letters is always written in caps?

An alternate is to create a text variable and insert it where needed. You can speed up inserting a text variable by using Quick Apply.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign autocorrect tutorial," "InDesign text variable," and "InDesign preferences," without quotes, for details.

Using GREP styles for changing characters and colors

Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding GREP styles. I wish to change each letter of an alphabet in text to a square in a different color. For example: every 'a' in the text change to a yellow ■. I thought GREP styles would be perfect for it so I went to find/change, typed in my requests and InDesign told me it has found no 'a' in my text, which isn't possible. How do I fix it? And the other thing- is it possible to change the color of ■ ? Because i couldn't find the option.
Please excuse me my incompetence, I am a new user of InDesign.
Thanks in advance for your help! : )

First off, it sounds like you want to use find/change with GREP, which is fine, rather than a GREP style, which is part of a paragraph style definition and cannot change the text in any way other than apply a character style to the found string, so would not help here.
The not finding the text makes me think you've limited the search parameters in some way, either by limiting the scope to a selection, or by including a style or format requirement in the find options, perhaps.
In order to do this, I think you are going to need to make use of the "other" category in the change dropdown and select Formatted Contents of Clipboard (which should clue you in that you need to make one of your colored squares and copy it to the clipboard before you run Find/Change). You can do this with either a plain text query or a GREP query, and there is no advantage to GREP in this case unless you want to match several different things and apply the same clipboard content to any of them.
You'll need to run a separate find/change for each colored square. It might be possible to script a chain so it runs in a single operation, but that would also require swapping the colored sqaures on the clipboard which complicates things in this case. You might want to ask over in scripting: InDesign Scripting

How Do I Change a Leading Number to a Letter Using GREP - InDesign

Hello Folks - your worldly wisdom with GREP in InDesign would greatly help me with two huge catalogues Im producing. I have a catalogue which uses a four digit number as a product description (i.e. 1010 - Adjustable Door Carriage) and I need to produce its 'sister' version, which is exactly the same, however the product description changes to have the first number of the four digit sequence to be the equivalent letter of the alphabet (i.e. '1010 - Adjustable Door Carriage' should read 'A010 - Adjustable Door Carriage'). There are hundreds of items, and I don't want to manually have to do this - please tell me GREP can manage this type of change?
Ive got as far as searching for the string of four numbers, but am getting stuck when changing the first digit only to a letter? I have attached examples of what the two catalogues will need to look like. Your time is greatly appreciated, as it will probably save me months of time!
Cheers,
Jacquie from the West of Oz

Hello Obi-Wan,
Samples - yes of course - please see the attached/below for the two types of pages I will be creating. The first is the company version 1, and the second page is the company version 2, which has the first letter of the product number changed from a number to a letter.
Obi-Wan
Hope this helps!
Thanks muchly,
Jacquie

Using GREP to bold Date and Event Name

Hi
I am stumped at how to properly apply a bold style to a combination of dates and event names using GREP. I am including three examples below. I do have Paragraph and Characters styles set up. The area I would like to effect the change is in all caps. I am trying to add a bold style only to the dates and the title of the event with out changing the rest of the information.
I started of with this GREP Style:
\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}|\d\-?\s|\u
It is bolding the dates and the name of the event. But it's not bolding the small dash between events that have a beginning and end dates or the en dash. It is randomly bolding other numbers and capital letters that it should not. Very frustrating. Each time I alter the GREP Style above, it makes it worse. This is as close as I got to the desired effect. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks! That works. I am using a paragraph style for the body and have a bold character style for the information that needs to be bolded. I notice there are some listings that uses a colon and the bolding continued into the description where the first period appears (see samples below). I added a colon (to the shorter GREP style you suggested) in addition to the perod and excalamation point to search for.. Now the bolding stops at the colon but does not include up to the word "CARRY" (see first example). The second example, the bolding should stop after "FAIRE" but cotinues to the word Wisdom because of the period.
I wish there was a option in the GREP drop menu to search for All Caps only and not Any Uppercase Letter. Is it a case were I need to manually edit those instances so it conforms to the norm? Or is there away to modify the GREP expression ^.+?[.!] to also include other instance like the example below?
I alread try to add an additional rule using the Postive Look Ahead and nothing. And using the Any Uppercase Letter option, either forces the text back to the begining looking unstylized or it forces any capital letters to be bolded.

GREP for changing paragraph style?

Okay folks, I have another one for all you smart people out there. I think GREP can be used to change formatting in the following instance, but I have no idea how to set it up.
I have a very long document, essentially a phone book-type listing of names, phone numbers, addresses, well over 150 pages' worth. The paragraph styles are fairly simple, only two per listing. The name/phone number is bold with a right hand tab with leader dots to a phone number that is flush to the right side of the column. The following lines are flush left, not bold, but indented 6pts. I've placed the text file and assigned the entire thing the NameListing paragraph style. I'd like to use GREP to find the address lines and change them to the NameListingAddress paragraph style.
Here's a screen shot to give you an idea. The left column is formatted correctly with both styles, the right column is "raw", all paragraphs formatted with the NameListing paragraph style.
Is this an appropriate application for GREP? If so, how do I set it up to only change the paragraphs that "don't have tabs"? It would save me a crapload of time.
THANKS again! --Dina

If your intent here is to use the character style to trigger a variable, as I belive it is based on your other thread, you MUST apply the character style up to the first tab to pick up the text at the start of the paragraph. There are two approaches to automating the formatting after that, but it may be too late for you to be much help.
In cases where every listing has the same number of lines it makes sense to use a unique paragraph style name (not necessarily format -- base on on another) for each lline and make it its own paragraph. Set up "next styles" to rotate through the list so each line is assigned the correct style based on the style of its predecessor. You get the rotation to sart over by making the first line style the next style for the last line. This works for manual entry and can be applied to an entire block of placed text in a single operation by selecting the text, then right-clicking the name of the first style to be applied and choose Apply <stylename>, Then Next Style.This ONLY works if you have exactly the same number of paragraphs in each listing.
The other option is to use forced line breaks instread of paragraphs and use one style for the entire listing. Set a left indent and negative first line indent, create a character style for the part of the first line that you want to appear in your header and apply it Up To ^t^n (that's a little-known trick -- if you enter more than one character in the trigger for a nested style it will activate on the first instance of any of the characters listed that occurs, so for example if you enter the word cat, your style will end on the first, c, a or t that appears inthe paragraph. ^t is the metacharacter for tab, and ^n is for forced line break) so that the style will end at either the tab, if present, or the forced line break if there is no tab (if you use a right-indent tab instead of a regualr right aligned tab [tricky to do a leader, but that's another discussion] substitute ^y for the ^t), then add a nested Line Style for one line. That line style should use a second character style that is based on the first character style you created for the name text and has no other attributes if you want the line to be the same from end to end. Sounds more complex than it is, and will work for listings with variable lenghths. The trick is to repalce your paragraph returns with forced line breaks, and will require a little thinking.
If using separate paragraph styles for each line, you'd use the same technique of a nested style up to a tab for the first line, but there is no need to get fancier since it will apply to the whole line if there is no tab. The paragraph style, in this case, would carry all of the bold and size formatting (and no need for any indents), and the character style would be nothing more than a name that will allow you to use it in the variable.

GREP find/change problem

Hi, am trying to execute InDesign's default find/change AppleScript script to fix many formatting issues in a large document. One of them is occurences of a two-digit dollar figure followed by a comma (eg. "$10,") that needs to be changed to have no comma.
Using GREP I can pick it up by finding "\$\d\d," but when I replace it with "\$\d\d" I get the actual string "\$\d\d". IE. "$10," becomes "\$\d\d" rather than "$10". Am I misundersting how the 'change' part of GREP works? Can any one advise?
FYI the line in the find/change support .txt doc is:
grep
{find what:"\\$\\d\\d,"}
{change to:"\\$\\d\\d"}
{include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}
Remove commas after prices.
...which includes extra backslashes to escape the backslashes that are part of the GREP expression.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks.

No, unfortunately lookbehinds don't work with variable-length strings. That's the case with all GREP implemantations, not just InDesign's. You can sort of get around it by using or-constructs, but they soon become unmanageable. Here's an example (split and indented just for clarity, you would need to write all this on one line):
     (?<=\$\d)
     |
     (?<=\$\d\d)
     |
     (?<=\$\d\d\d)
This one says "if a comma is preceded by $ and a digit OR by $ and two digits OR by $ and three digits, then . . ." As you understand, if you need to allow up to six or seven digits, possibly thousand separators too, then lookbehinds become unpracticable.

How can i use dsadm to change the ldap port?

I have a ldap with port 1389,I changed it to 389,now I can not start it because it is a non root user.
Now I want to change the port back to 1389,but I can not use dsconf because the server is not running.
How can i do now? How can i use dsadm to change the port?
Thank u very much.

My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude/impolite.
I just wanted to emphasize that in a situation where a Directory Server doesn't even start, you cannot interact with the live server to configure the new port (either talking LDAP or otherwise). All you can do in that case won't be related with the LDAP (that's just the name of the protocol): either assigning network privileges to the user, or changing the Directory Server configuration file.
The other thing I'd like to outline (and this could take a separate thread ;-) ), is that semantically, I'd prefer talking of a Directory Server instead of an LDAP Server because the former is 'something' providing Directory Services, whereas the latter is just the name of the protocol we use to interact with the server; but this is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree with me.
that's all folks!

"completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work for sql file

Hi there,
Just updated to 3.1 on my Mac Lion. It's very likely a bug since it used the work with 3.0.
I have a "temp.sql" file where I store several queries. I start SQL Developer, open "temp.sql", connect to a DB but "completion insight" and "change case as you type" won't work anymore.
If I click in "Unshared SQL Worksheet", the new worksheet tab will work fine with completion and change case, but I want to use my temp.sql and save things there when closing the application.
To reproduce yourself the issue:
Open SQL Dev, connect to a DB (it will open a worksheet), do some queries and check that change case and completion are working, quit SQL Dev, but save the worksheet in a sql file before. Re-open SQL Dev and open the sql file. Connect to the same DB and try to change the queries or create another. Completion and change case won't work anymore.

Well, it's partially working, if your sql file is big (like mine), say with more than 1000 lines, then, maybe because of memory usage, the automatic completion won't work as expected, though, sometimes, after a while, crtl-space would stil work.
So, the problem may have been addressed, but I believe this feature can be definitely improved.

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?

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

Change Case in Column header when designing reports in BIDS

Hi
I have used a key short-cut to change the case of headers when adding them to the header of a Tablix, but I can't remember the key combination,
Any help much appretiated
Regards
Andy
CRM 4, SQL Server and .Net developer using C#

Hi Andy,
If I understand correctly, you want to know the shortcut key combination to switch the case of words in column headers of a tablix in Reporting Services Report Designer. As far as I know, there is no such key combination. In Microsoft Word/Outlook/PowerPoint,
we can use the Shift + F3 to change case of words. However, this doesn’t work in SSRS Report Designer.
To change the case of the words in column headers, you can either copy the text to Word and perform the case change there or use built-in functions such as LCase, Ucase, or StrConv to perform the case change by using expression. Here are the examples for
the three functions:
Expression: =LCase(“Sales territory country”)                           Result: sales territory country
Expression: =UCase(“Sales territory country”)                           Result: SALES TERRITORY COUNTRY
Expression: =StrConv(“Sales territory country”, vbProperCase)   Result: Sales Territory Country

I think that's the wrong paradigm.
Styles are for changing the look of text -- not the content. the way change case works (in every app I've ever seen) is by changing the encoding of the text.
FWIW. I have a utility in my "Style Utilities" which can change case based on style: http://in-tools.com/products/plugins/style-utilities/
