Hi Aarti,

if you have additional “#” on your page, then have have probably empty textframes. This can be free floating textframes or anchored textframes. Since those frames will create a so called div-elemenent during the epub-export and generate also CSS, it is good practice to remove them.

So go to the find/change pannel, GREP tab and insert: \A\Z. If this will find something, click on escape and remove the frame.

Malcom, if you write in an prof. forum, chances are good, that you get an answer within few hours. So if someone has a question, cause he don’t understand the problem, it is good practice to answer this question within few hours too ;-)

Did you test the script? Seems that it would solve your problem. And yes, the script could also apply a Master B.

Hi Malcom,

the task is not clear! Insert a page after each is no problem. What do you mean with “new copy”? > Example!

Hi John,

you could skip the first one, create your header with continued, write your information twice or create a text-variable for both cells.

Kayla, your sorting order isn’t self explanatory, since the $300.000 comes between 329 and 315. However: There is no script needed if the document is built in a right way (everything is in one flow).

If you interested sent me a document to forumATruebiarts.de and I will have a look at it.

Stephane, you can apply conditions with find/change. But realize, that all questions will stick together. I would assume, that a answer with 3 lines should show 3 blanks instead of complete removing?

Hi Tim,

here is your example. Realize that this is not the order by page!

var list = [
  "(Genesis|Gen.?)",
  "(Psalms|Ps.?)",
  "(Jeremiah|Jer.?)",
  "(Moses)"
];

var curDoc = app.activeDocument,
nList = list.length,
curListItem,
strToSearch,
found,
foundList = [],
curFound;

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = true;

for (var i = 0; i < nList; i++) {
  curListItem = list[i];  
  strToSearch = "(" + curListItem + " d{1,3}[:–]d{1,3}([;–]d{1,3})?(, d{1,3})?(; d{1,3})?([:?]d{1,3})?)";
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = strToSearch;
  found = curDoc.findGrep();
  if (found.length > 0) {
    for (var j = 0; j < found.length; j++) {
      curFound = found[j];      
      foundList.push(curFound.contents);
    }
  }
}

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

alert(foundList);

var tf = curDoc.textFrames.add({geometricBounds: [10, 10, 200, 200]});
tf.contents = foundList.join("\r");

Hi Tim,

you can store your found, e.g. “myDoc.findGrep()”. You will get an array of paragraphs, words or other things. Later you can put the “.contents” of those objects together, insert a page at the end, create a textframe with the proper margins and insert your stored contents. To write a .txt with your found on the desktop would also be possible.
