Thus a text like "This is an example text." changed to "This is an e text. This works except that it only wraps thew first character of the affected text in the given tags and erases the rest. Here's my first attempt: app.findGrepPreferences=app.changeGrepPreferences=null Īpp.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle="bold" Now I wish to automate the process by writing a script to handle it. In the Modifiers flyout are two sets of modifiers. In my previous question, the accepted answer by Jongware does an excellent job of explaining how to perform a manual Find/Replace using GREP. There remain a few things that are available in InDesign's GREP interface but that haven't been covered.

For example, I want all text styled as bold to be wrapped in the. I want to write a script that looks for text styled with any of the above character styles and wraps them in an appropriate HTML tag. The names of those character styles are self-explanatory. To summarize the situation, my InDesign document has 3 character styles applied to the text at various places: bold, italic, bolditalic. The aim of this Short Cut is to show how to create simple but powerful regular expressions.This question follows on from my previous question on the subject of GREP and find/replace functionality of InDesign. As with many things, it can be challenging to learn, but, fortunately, a lot can be done with surprisingly simple expressions. GREP moves beyond the restrictions that hampered earlier InDesign search features, but unfortunately it does have the reputation of being difficult to master. InDesign's GREP implementation can be used for text and also for formatting codes, finding patterns in text as well as literal text. GREP (short for "General Regular-Expression Print") is a powerful tool that lets you use wildcards ("jokers") to search and replace text. Cette formation vous apprendra à utiliser les styles GREP pour la mise en page dans InDesign. Author Peter Kahrel updated this Short Cut to address typos and reader comments.
