ParticipantFour GREPs not threee…
…and this might not work properly in Tables, check that as well.
ParticipantTanvir,
I tried couple of GREPS and came to a conclusion, that this cannot be achieved with one Code. Therefore, I clubbed all the three codes to create one JavaScript, you can download the same from here. I’m not sure, this will work for you however, I checked it with some dummy numbers and it worked at my end.

Further the three GREP codes, I have used are listed below:
Run these in the order given below
1) GREP Find/Change:
Find What:(\d),(\d)
Change to:$1$22) GREP Find/Change:
Find What:(\d\d\d)(?=\D)
Change to:,$03) GREP Find/Change:
Find What:\d(?=(\d\d)+\D)
Change to:$0,4) GREP Find/Change:
Find What:(\d),(\d\d)(?![\d,])
Change to:$1$2Please let me know if it works.
PS: As a precaution, please make a copy of your original document.
ParticipantNeither this worked, sorry!
ParticipantHi Loic,
There is an error in the script, can you please check and fix the error. I’m trying this on InDesign CS5
<pre class="brush: javascript">
var main = function() {
var doc = app.properties.activeDocument, root, xes, n;
if ( !doc ) return;
root = doc.xmlElements[0];
xes = root.evaluateXPathExpression ( ".//SalaryDescription" );
n = xes.length;
while ( n– ) xes[n].remove();
}var u;
app.doScript ( "main()",u,u,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "The Script" );
ParticipantAmit, just checking, how are the things going.
ParticipantWell that depends how you take it. For me I will go for GREP styles. At least you don’t have to verify whether the style has been applied or not.
ParticipantKelli, you don’t need a script for this simple task. Try GREP styles…
Sorry Kai :)
ParticipantWhat I can figure out is that you have installed English version instead of updating InDesign ME.
I don’t think Adobe will swipe away the ME features in its latest update. Try installing it again…
ParticipantI like the long answer :), interesting and knowledgeable.
Participant…alternatively, you can also create a
NoBreakCharacter style and map it to theCODExml tag.ParticipantTry this (both options F/C and Grep Styles)
GREP Find/Change:
Find What:\u\d{2}\.[\u\d]{1,2} .$
Change to:
Change Format:NoBreakCharacterStyleGREP Styles:
Apply Style:NoBreakCharacterStyle
To Text:\u\d{2}\.[\u\d]{1,2} .$and let me know if it works for you :)
ParticipantHi Amit, Can you send us the snapshot with hidden characters and one with from the story editor. I would like to see the tags involved, as you said.
ParticipantWell, Obi… I don’t expect such a language here on the Forum.
Maybe David has time to spend with you!Not me! …
find someone to make their work for free!
Boring! :(
I mean who write such a language on a forum. People who place their queries here are often new and more likely they didn’t know how to do something. Of course, there is a detailed documentation from Adobe but sometimes that doesn’t suffice. There are book available in the market on every subject hence we still go to institute and Trainers to get some knowledge.
Moreover, I have also noticed that you post your videos here in reply to other queries but never shared those scripts. To my experience you seems to be a new-bee who just stepped in the market to earn money. There are many qualified persons as members of this forum like Peter, Jongware, Keith, David, etc. I don’t recall they have ever spoken like that and have ever asked for a penny.
If you don’t have time “Not me! … ” then why are you here. Don’t read “Boring! :(” stuff. No one is forcing you to read or reply any posts on this forum.
Sorry @David, but I don’t encourage such talent.
May 3, 2017 at 6:00 am in reply to: anyone experiencing issues with latest update of ID CC (2017)? #94099Participant@David, Can’t Adobe provide some shortcut (plugin/script) to reset the annoying preferences. You know most of the users fear while making any changes to the software, deleting this and that is a nightmare for some. I think it will be a good idea to have some sort of shortcut.
ParticipantTo my understanding you need a Grep style:
GREP Styles:
Apply Style:CharacterStyleForTheXMLtags
To Text:<.+?(?=>)>Create a Character style that you would like to apply to the tags other than the text in between the XML tags. Then you can use the above settings using the GREP styles through paragraph styles.
Let me know if I’m thinking the same.
