//FindChangeList.txt //A support file for the InDesign CS4 JavaScript FindChangeByList.jsx // //This data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records. // //The format of each record in the file is: //findTypefindPropertieschangePropertiesfindChangeOptionsdescription // //Where: // is a tab character //findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use). //findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences. //changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences. //findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options. //description is a description of the find/change operation // //Very simple example: //text {findWhat:"--"} {changeTo:"^_"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash. // //More complex example: //text {findWhat:"^9^9.^9^9"} {appliedCharacterStyle:"price"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price". // //All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "findWhat" and "changeTo" properties for findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences. // //If you enter backslashes in the findWhat property of the findGrepPreferences object, they must be "escaped" //as shown in the example below: // //{findWhat:"\\s+"} // grep {findWhat:" +"} {changeTo:" "} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double spaces and replace with single spaces. grep {findWhat:"\r "} {changeTo:"\r"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all returns followed by a space And replace with single returns. grep {findWhat:" \r"} {changeTo:"\r"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all returns followed by a space and replace with single returns. grep {findWhat:"\t\t+"} {changeTo:"\t"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double tab characters and replace with single tab characters. grep {findWhat:"\r\t"} {changeTo:"\r"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all returns followed by a tab character and replace with single returns. grep {findWhat:"\t\r"} {changeTo:"\r"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all returns followed by a tab character and replace with single returns. grep {findWhat:"\r\r+"} {changeTo:"\r"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double returns and replace with single returns. text {findWhat:" - "} {changeTo:"^="} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all space-dash-space and replace with an en dash. text {findWhat:"--"} {changeTo:"^_"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all dash-dash and replace with an em dash.
