Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is an automated way, to conver mm in a document to i nches by running a script. See the below, i have tables and text like this:
Installation Dimensions (WxDxH) | 224 x 534 x 667 mm | 236 x 569 x 428.5 mm | 231 x 600 x 430 mm | 231 x 438 x 600 mm | 255 x 486 x 404 mm | 351 x 454 x 513 mm |
It would be amazing life i could automate it rather then manually having to go the document through to do it.
're you go. I didn't want to wait for that accuracy so I took the usual mils (3).
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+(\\.\\d*)?\\s+x\\s+\\d+(\\.\\d*)?\\s+x\\s+\\d+(\\.\\d*)?\\s+mm\\b";
var list = app.activeDocument.findGrep( false);
while (list.length)
{
item = list.pop();
text = item.contents;
// mm to in at the end
text = text.replace('mm', 'inch')
// convert values
text = text.replace(/\d+(\.\d*)?/g, function(val) { return Math.round(1000*parseFloat(val)/25.4)/1000; })
item.contents = text;
}
