Suddenly remembering the script that can merge and run multiple Greps, where is it?

I seem to have seen a script that can run multiple Greps at once.

However, at that time, it didn't feel very scientific and didn't feel very good to use, so I didn't collect it.

Do you know where to find it?

Thank you.

Maybe this one:

Interesting. What do you mean by that?

The idea is that grep_query_runner is the more accessible script, more user-friendly. But adding the selection of the search scope seems a useful option, so I've added that.

Hi~@Peter Kahrel

The new grep_query_runner.jsx seems to have some issues.
When you select a text box, an error is reported.
And where can I see all your latest scripts.
thanks

I suspect you're thinking of Peter Kahrel's GREP Query Manager.

His archive is now hosted at Creative Pro...

Not this, this is managing Grep.

I am looking for someone who can execute multiple Greps at once

Perhaps it's FindChangeByList.jsx, which comes with Indesign

I made an improved version of this script and it cleans up twice as many small typesetting/keyboarding issues. I have it on trainingonsite.com

Can you clarify these two lines? I have no idea what you mean:

It seems like this.

It doesn't seem like this.

The script comes with InDesign—you will need to have InDesign installed to use it.

I have already deleted the software that comes with it.

To the best of my knowledge, the script as shipped has not been updated in years. And that's because we customize it to meet our specific needs. It lists examples and then we tweak it.

Is there an improved version.

Are you referring to the FindChangeByList script? This is where you can list multiple find change queries and run them all at once. It's in Window > Utilities > Scripts > Application > Samples > JavaScript.
