Question

Dear Team,

When I used this grep command see below the screenshot, two enter marks It will combine into a single enter mark. In this case, the XML tag was removed. Please see the screenshot for your reference.

----------------------------------

1. After Figure moved to the top of the page:

----------------------------------

2. One empty entermark created with xml tag:

----------------------------------

3. Please see the story board xml tag (empty entermark is "artgroup" xml tag)

----------------------------------

4. When i used this grep command, it was merged the entermark but xml tag was removed:

5. The second entermark artgroup xml tag was removed, it is affect in xml structure.

----------------------------------

My requirement is:

It is necessary to merge two entermarks into one, without affecting the XML structure. Now i manually merged the entermark.

If possible, please provide your solutions or suggestions. It is very helpful for us.

Thanks

Hi @kanagakumar ,without looking deeper into details here, you could try to remove one of the two characters and not set a new one.Your GREP could be rewritten with a positive lookbehind or a positive lookahead, depending if the first or the second character of two should be removed. Either remove an end of paragraph character that precedes an end of paragraph character: \r(?=\r) Or do it the other way and remove an end of paragraph character that comes after another end of paragraph character: (?<=\r)\r In both cases leave the Change to field empty. However, without any sample document, I cannot be sure, that one of my suggestions would work for you. Regards,Uwe Laubender( Adobe Community Expert )

Dear Team,

I found one script in chartGPT but this coding was not run in the indesign, please advise

my xml tag name is "artgroup"

----------------------------

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var xmlElements = doc.xmlElements;

// Function to search for a specific tag name
function findXMLTags(tagName) {
var results = [];
for (var i = 0; i < xmlElements.length; i++) {
searchTag(xmlElements[i], tagName, results);
}
return results;
}

// Recursive function to search through XML elements
function searchTag(xmlElement, tagName, results) {
if (xmlElement.markupTag.name === tagName) {
results.push(xmlElement);
}
for (var i = 0; i < xmlElement.xmlElements.length; i++) {
searchTag(xmlElement.xmlElements[i], tagName, results);
}
}

// Example usage: Find all <title> tags
var titleTags = findXMLTags("artgroup");
for (var i = 0; i < titleTags.length; i++) {
$.writeln(titleTags[i].contents); // Print the contents of each <title> tag
}

----------------------------
