Hi,

Here, we talk about the last word of each line of the para following a sentence end as “. “, “? ” “! ” …

The grep code I gave means that a grep style applies a “no-break” to “this” word [\w-]+ and its space that follows!

… So, it’s totally impossible to have at the end of a line in a para a single word after, e.g. a dot: It will magically jump to the beginning of the next line!

Of course, all the words in that situation (after a dot) are targeting by the grep style but no importance (e.g. in the middle of a line).

If you wanna update “all” the TOCs, use this:

…
for (var i = 0; i < nTocStyles; i++) {
…

Masood,

Maybe you do ignore some things about Grep! Try before commenting! ;-)

I don’t beleive in God! … Only The Force!

One exception! — For Free! ;-)

Just modify the script depending of the book contents [color values/files number, each color values spec.]

The global color name is: “ChapterColor”.

Open the “book”, sync. it and finally launch this script:

var myBook = app.activeBook,
myBookContents = myBook.bookContents,
D = myBookContents.length,
//————————————————————————-
myColorValues = [
//—– DEFINE EACH CHAPTER COLOR [C,M,Y,B]
//—– For memory, between *: the doc name (“Blue”, “Magenta” …]
//—– In the book right order:
/*Blue*/ [50,0,0,0], // The 1rst file of the book
/*Magenta*/ [0,50,0,0], // The 2nd file of the book
/*Yellow*/ [0,0,80,0], // The 3rd file of the book
/*Green*/ [80,0,80,0], // The 4th file of the book
// …………………………………………………………………………………………………………
/*Red*/ [0,80,80,0]]; // The last file of the book
//————————————————————————-

for (var d = 0; d < D; d++) {
var myFile = myBookContents[d].fullName.toString(),
myDoc = app.open(File(myFile)),
myColor = myDoc.colors.itemByName(“ChapterColor”);
myColor.colorValue = myColorValues[d];
myDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);
}

The script just modifies the values of the “ChapterColor” color in each doc and after having done it, saves and closes the file and continues with the next one!

C’est quoi la finalité ?

Hi Kai,

1/ It’s your personal interpretation of what is “a line”! No worry for me! ;-)
2/ My code is totally readable! [about this point, I suggest you to take a look to the Great Master Marc Autret’s artwork!]. Especially, not sure adding or not parentheses everywhere would be more preferable! About this, Peter Kahrel wrote: “… many people […] write single lines in brackets […] but this is not needed …” relevant too about line returns!
3/ I’m more interested by a technical discussion about your mention “… if you work with pageItems.everyItem(), you will not get every items! …”: your script won’t find: items on master pages or locked/not visible layers, locked items [and maybe other cases!], not mine!

PS: Beyond writing its code, concentrate here such a script on 1 line was a joke! … but maybe you have less humour than me! ;-)
