Michel Allio for FRIdNGE
ParticipantHi David,
[JS]: “space” [ It’s my good action of the day! ;-) ]
About your last comment: This won’t never enough! …
Personally, I’ll be ready and very proud to share the scripts I write … when the guys who’ll download them will be ready and very proud to share the money they take to their clients using my work! … But apparently, for some, pride really seems to depend on which side of the wallet you are!

ParticipantMasood,
If I understand well what you mean about the question you’ve posted 2 days ago, that seems to be enough complex to need a “coder” and so a script, so totally forget my last comment and note this new one I hope you’ll appreciate more:
“You’re right! As you, I think your question could need a script! … Sorry to have no more immediate idea and free time to spend on your problem!”
(^/)
ParticipantImho, doable! … BNFF!* ;-)

[ * But Not For Free! ]
ParticipantYeap! …

ParticipantJust for comment:
All the TOCs I play, simple, complex, very complex, … extremely complex, are all done in 1 click! … because they’re managed by script!
In your case, you could do it in 2 clicks:
1/ Generate your basic TOC [ParaStyle 1 (without page number) + ParaStyle 2 (with page number)]
2/ Play this simple regex:
Find: \r + ParaStyle 1
Replace by, e.g.: a simple space!(^/) ;-)

ParticipantDans ce cas, tu crées des “guides de colonnes” personnels sur le calque de ton choix et tu fais disparaître les “vrais” guides !

ParticipantPourquoi, si le fond des pages est “blanc”, ne pas changer la couleur des guides de colonne en … blanc, pour les faire disparaître ?

ParticipantI’ve just posted a simple question! …
How many time do you need to make this kind of “table” layout for 100 tables [4 rows/5 columns, so 2,000 cells]? Of course, most of the cells have not the same width/height. So no possible systematization!
Thanks to try to answer! ;-)

ParticipantDwayne,
Just to have an idea! … How many time do you need to make this kind of “table” layout, say, for 500 tables?
(^/) ;-)
ParticipantI’m not frustrated at all and It’s not me who needs a script!
I write them!! =D … and sure, for me, it’s totally free!!(^/)
ParticipantDwayne,
I’m really not interested to begin such a discussion about Scott Irwin’s way of thinking!
I just wanna say such comments are not particular and are symptomatic of a certain state of mind! …
To resume a common situation:
I have a problem! … Can anyone fix it? … For free of course!!
Understand that without the solution [that I ask you to find for me => if I had it, I would ask nothing !!], I will spend time to achieve my problem! … and my time [yours? it’s not my problem!! Nothing forces you to spend time to help me!] costs me money! … I ask you to note that if the solution you could propose me costs “me” some $ [I totally don’t ask you how many!], I’m not interested, even if its cost is less than the cost of the work I will finally have to do instead!What I mean is that Scripting is not as simple as a regex or a trick even awesome!
Coding is a complex science reserved to people who are a great knowledge of the soft[s] on which they wanna play!
The Scripters’ community is very small but they could open for all doors on an infinity of amazing worlds lots couldn’t imagine!Don’t respect their work … You will stay at the door of their paradise, in the dark side! [… while they will have a party on the other side!!!]

PS: The script I’ve indicated in a previous post is built on a generic-base script! I mean a code structure playing around a central function:
” Select a files folder / Open each file / —— DO SOMETHING —— / Save and Close ”
In this kind of code, what is different and I have to write at each time is always the part: “DO SOMETHING”!
In Irwin’s case, it just took me some seconds:
myDoc.sections[0].continueNumbering = true;
… for just $7.50! … Obviously, this price is no longer topical! … But I’m cool: you can use it!
Thread closed!
=D
ParticipantWhat candor! …
“I figured there was a script that could do it, but I haven’t found one that’s “Free” and work probably wouldn’t pay for it.”

ParticipantDavid,
The best way to do it is to let Laubender finish it for free on Adobe InDesign Scripting !? :(

ParticipantScripting is a real work and it’s time for Scripters to make a real business with their work and be respected by no longer giving their knowledge for nothing! …
