Find text then add a character style script

[thaero17058]

Hello

I am trying to make a script to find any text between two glyphes ( ﴾ ﴿ ) and create a new character style for the selected text .

note : i do not want to apply a character style on the selected text , but i want to create a new character style for the selected text .

note : i do "find what "correctly but i do not know how to complete the script .

i am start but i do not know how to complete  :

function main()      

    { 

        var myDoc = app.activeDocument, 

        FindWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)";  // The 2 glyphes are " ﴿ " and " ﴾ "  

[tpk1982]

I hope you see the revised script i sent.. if that also not worked..just change you line

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\().+?(?=\\))"

to

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "volupta" //this is your first word in screenshot

and change the color and style of that text and run the script..

If you want this is a sample text ... you can try the script on it .... this is maybe help to fine the problem :

In precabo. Occaborem reptate pe plabor ﴿ ﭞﭟﭠ﴾ assitat ut eaquid magnis ea inciunt labo. Ut verciis doloriatquis restiatusa consequi desequam dolut voluptat fugia voluptatus abo.

Yes i worked with your sample texts but I missed with fonts anyhow i put bracket for other word and it is working fine..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;       
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\)).+?(?=\\()" // apply your grep code       
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();       
try    
{    
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.item("my_style");    
new_Style.name;  
}    
catch (myError){    
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add()       
    new_Style.name = "my_style";  }    
for(i=0; i<found.length; i++)       
{       
    if(found.contents)       
    {       
    found.select();       
    new_Style.fontStyle=found.fontStyle;      
    new_Style.fillColor=found.fillColor;      
    }         
}       

If you feel again it is not working, then just record your work as video and send to me.. or post here..

In my end it is perfectly working for all languages..

[tpk1982]

Hi.. Saw your file.. and the below script working fine.. eben thouth the font is missing with my side the style created successfully.. please let me know if it is working for you..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)" // apply your grep code         
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();         
try      
{      
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.item("my_style");      
new_Style.name;    
}      
catch (myError){      
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add()         
    new_Style.name = "my_style";  }      
for(i=0; i<found.length; i++)         
{         
    if(found.contents)         
    {         
    found.select();         
    new_Style.fontStyle=found.fontStyle;        
    new_Style.fillColor=found.fillColor;        
    }           
}

I hope all the bracket texts have same color and font style..

[tpk1982]

use this for better result..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)" // apply your grep code         
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();     
if(found.length>=1){
try      
{      
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.item("my_style");      
new_Style.name;    
}      
catch (myError){      
var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add()         
    new_Style.name = "my_style";  }      
for(i=0; i<found.length; i++)         
{         
    if(found.contents)         
    {         
    found.select();         
    new_Style.fontStyle=found.fontStyle;        
    new_Style.fillColor=found.fillColor;        
    }           
}         
}
else{alert("No bracket text found")}

[thaero17058]

Yes , all bracket text have same color and font style ... but different font type .

this script also do not work ... i am sorry

[tpk1982]

Hmm.. try this..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)"        
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();     
if(found.length==0){alert("No bracket text found"); exit(0);}
cstyle = [];    
for(j=0; j<found.length; j++)         
{   
  cstyle.push(found.contents);
}
for(k=0; k<cstyle.length; k++)         
{   
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = cstyle.toString ();          
var myfound = app.documents[0].findGrep();     
for(i=0; i<myfound.length; i++)         
{         
    myfound.select();         
    var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add();
    new_Style.name = cstyle.toString ();
    new_Style.fontStyle=myfound.fontStyle;        
    new_Style.fillColor=myfound.fillColor;        
}         
}

PLEASE FOLLOW THIS STEP...

1) CHANGE COLOR OF ALL BRACKET TEXTS

2) CHANGE THE FONT STYLE DIFFERENTLY (MAYBE BOLD, ITAL, BOLDITALIC)

3) RUN THE BELOW SCRIPT..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;        

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)"       

var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();    

if(found.length==0){alert("No bracket text found"); exit(0);}

cstyle = [];   

for(j=0; j<found.length; j++)        

{  

  cstyle.push(found.contents);

}

for(k=0; k<cstyle.length; k++)        

{  

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;        

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = cstyle.toString();         

var myfound = app.documents[0].findGrep();    

for(i=0; i<myfound.length; i++)        

{        

    myfound.select();        

    var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add();

    var myname=new_Style.name;

    new_Style.fontStyle=myfound.fontStyle;       

    new_Style.fillColor=myfound.fillColor;       

    app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myname;       

    app.changeGrep();

}        

}

SELECT TEXT WITH IN BRACKET.. YOU CAN SEE THE STYLES APPLIED..

[tpk1982 · Accepted solution]

Moreover the below script completes with all character style properties..

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\﴿).+?(?=\﴾)"        
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();     
if(found.length==0){alert("No bracket text found"); exit(0);}
cstyle = [];    
for(j=0; j<found.length; j++)         
{   
  cstyle.push(found.contents);
}
for(k=0; k<cstyle.length; k++)         
{   
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences =null;         
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = cstyle.toString();          
var myfound = app.documents[0].findGrep();     
for(i=0; i<myfound.length; i++)         
{         
    myfound.select();         
    var new_Style = app.documents[0].characterStyles.add();
    var myname=new_Style.name;
    new_Style.appliedFont = myfound.appliedFont;
  new_Style.fontStyle = myfound.fontStyle;
  new_Style.pointSize = myfound.pointSize;
  new_Style.leading = myfound.leading;
  new_Style.appliedLanguage = myfound.appliedLanguage;
  new_Style.kerningMethod = myfound.kerningMethod;
  new_Style.tracking = myfound.tracking;
  new_Style.capitalization = myfound.capitalization;
  new_Style.position = myfound.position;
  new_Style.ligatures = myfound.ligatures;
  new_Style.noBreak = myfound.noBreak;
  new_Style.horizontalScale = myfound.horizontalScale;
  new_Style.verticalScale = myfound.verticalScale;
  new_Style.baselineShift = myfound.baselineShift;
  new_Style.skew = myfound.skew;
  new_Style.fillColor = myfound.fillColor;
  new_Style.fillTint = myfound.fillTint;
  new_Style.strokeTint = myfound.strokeTint;
  new_Style.strokeWeight = myfound.strokeWeight;
  new_Style.overprintStroke = myfound.overprintStroke;
  new_Style.overprintFill = myfound.overprintFill;
  new_Style.otfFigureStyle = myfound.otfFigureStyle;
  new_Style.otfOrdinal = myfound.otfOrdinal;
  new_Style.otfFraction = myfound.otfFraction;
  new_Style.otfDiscretionaryLigature = myfound.otfDiscretionaryLigature;
  new_Style.otfTitling = myfound.otfTitling;
  new_Style.otfContextualAlternate = myfound.otfContextualAlternate;
  new_Style.otfSwash = myfound.otfSwash;
  new_Style.otfSlashedZero = myfound.otfSlashedZero;
  new_Style.otfHistorical = myfound.otfHistorical;
  new_Style.otfStylisticSets = myfound.otfStylisticSets;
  new_Style.strikeThru = myfound.strikeThru;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myname;        
    app.changeGrep();
}         
}

This Works

Thanks

Hi,

I think you need to create multiple character styles using script for each selected text.. Am i correct???

Thanks,

Prabu

[thaero17058]

Yes , you correct 100%   ... this is what i need .
