Writing Style check with Grep styles
Here is an idea.
I make dozens of differents books and journals, and each one has its own editorial pecularities -- some want their quotes double, others single, some want "e-mail" while others insist on "email", or no specific text before an email address. Lots of little things, and I always list as much as possible on the pasteboard -- but of course I have to check these items myself.
Would it be useful if the user was able to put these "rules" in the GREP Style manner into your document (or template!), where it would not mark the found text with a style, but rather with a Spell Check wiggly? (Which, of course, then would need to be picked up by Preflight.)
Well, yeah, but in that sense it's not that different from other stylesheets I have. (For all journals I make, I have at least one "current" updated template.)
One could in general add stuff like this:
\dC (?# wrong -- it should be [digit]°C)
\doC (?# with a superscript 'oh' -- wrong)
\d °C (?# with a space -- wrong)
\d° C (?# space on the other side, also wrong)
\dºC (?# masculine ordinal rather than degree -- also wrong!)
An advantage over a warning wiggly line, rather than just putting all possible variants into the FindChangeList, is that you can always ignore the wiggly -- just like you do when a spell check tags potentially bad spelling (oh okay, "Peter Spier" does not get tagged, but "Jongware" does!).
But I'll forgive Adobe if they can't find the time to squeeze this into CS5, somewhere in the next (hold on--) 05d:23h:32m:07sec.

Find/Change words (with GREP) and apply a style...
I need a Script for Find/Change words with GREP, and apply a paragraph style...
Thanks...Hi Marcos,
If you want the script to create character styles: Bold , Italic, Bold Italic, etc, and replace local formatting with these styles, use scripts in post #3.
But if you want find and change words, or/and replace local formatting with styles defined by you, use FindChangeByList script.
If the latter, I recommend you to download and install Record Find Change script (written by Martin Fisher).
Then choose settings you need in Find-Change dialog – make sure they work as expected – and run Record Find Change script. A Notepad/TextEdit file will pop up with a line containing the recorded setting. Copy it, open FindChangeList.txt, delete the contents of this file and paste the line you just copied (or add it to the bottom of the file).
Repeat the process for all find-change operations you need.
Finally run FindChangeByList.jsx to make all changes in one go.
However, while using Record Find Change script, you may encounter a problem: it doesn’t record paragraph and character styles placed inside a group. But you can write references to such styles like so:
appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1"). paragraphStyles.item("Paragraph Style 1")

Inserting a special character with GREP styles
Hi.
I wanna define a GREP style that makes this: if I write Bluetooth I wanna that a registered trademark is added at the end of the word but with superscript format. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.No, GREP styles only apply formatting, they cannot insert characters. Use a regular find & change to do so.
(There is a thinking-outside-of-the-box solution. If you have access to a font creating utility, you can create a character 'h' with TM attached to it. Then you can use a GREP style to automatically apply this custom font to just the 'h' of 'Bluetooth'. See http://indesignsecrets.com/insert-a-special-character-with-grep-styles.php.) -

[\pre]I'm not sure what you mean by, 'How to check with table for cursor..?' but I'll offer a comment on your Code Snippet. I think you want to know how to check if a record exists so you know if you need to perform an INSERT or an UPDATE.
Here is a snippet of your code. I'll put my comments in "Comment" style in your code.

FOR rec_final_update_el IN cur_final_update_el

/* Is this where you would like to know how to Check if the record already exist??
** I asked this because, 'rec_final_update_el.' is not valid syntax. Are you looking for
** an Cursor Attribute or Method you can check here?
** I would suggest a Primary Key or Unique Index on ENT, CENTER, and POST_ACCT
** on the TEMP_FINAL_PLAN table. Then simply perform an INSERT and code an
** Exception to UPDATE when you get a DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX exception. Otherwise,
** you will need to simply run an Implicit or Explicit Cursor to test if the row exists and

Multiple text alignment in one story with GREP (or similar)
In search of trying to make my workflow much more efficient, I've been dabbling with grep styles and have come across an obstacle. This may be a limit to the character style features but I have been trying to find ways to use multiple text alignments (i.e. left, justified, right) within a single paragraph style sheet applied over multiple paragraphs. Is this actually possible with GREP or similar or do I just have my head in the clouds?
If this was actually possible in Character Styles, I could quite possible make my job a wee bit too easy!!
Hope you can assist me with this issue.
Cheers.Alignment is a paragraph level attribute, not a character level attribute, and therefor is assigned in the paragraph style. A paragraph can have only one alignment setting. GREP styles can only assign a character style, so cannot change alignment.
You could, however, use Find/Change with GREP to find a pattern and assign a pragraph style or new alignment, you just can't automate it the way you do with a GREP style. -

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem.

Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.
I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think. -
