Above script showing wrong value if you have decimal in your digits because above grep search only for digits. I have corrected in below script. You getting last decimal wrong because you multiply with 2.2 this is not exact value. see in below script correct one. var myDoc =  app.activeDocument; var result = 0; app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '[\\d\.]+'; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = 'TablasTexto'; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Dimensions'; var myFound = myDoc.findGrep(); app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; for (a=myFound.length-1; a>=0; a--) { myFound.pointSize = 7 ;  //This will become 7 pt size of your change text var myChange = myFound.contents + " (" +  roundToDP ((parseInt(myFound.contents)*2.20462262),1) + ")" myFound.contents = myChange result ++ } function roundToDP (val,dig) {      // Including all its zeros, lopping off beyond:      val = Math.round(val*Math.pow(10,dig));      // Force in decimal point at the right place:      val = String(val);    //  return val.slice(0,val.length-dig)+"."+val.slice(dig);      return val.slice(0,val.length-dig)+"."+val.slice(val.length-dig); } alert (result + " lbs converted... :)") Shonky ...

Hi Dear, Above posted script working very well and if its not working at your end I am sure that there is some problem with applied paragraph and character style name. Please check it carefully. And i have change decimal to 1 in below script. var myDoc =  app.activeDocument; var result = 0; app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\d+'; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = 'TablasTexto'; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Dimensions'; var myFound = myDoc.findGrep(); app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; for (a=myFound.length-1; a>=0; a--) { myFound.pointSize = 7 ;  //This will become 7 pt size of your change text var myChange = myFound.contents + " (" +  roundToDP ((parseInt(myFound.contents)/25.4),1) + ")" myFound.contents = myChange result ++ } function roundToDP (val,dig) {      // Including all its zeros, lopping off beyond:      val = Math.round(val*Math.pow(10,dig));      // Force in decimal point at the right place:      val = String(val);    //  return val.slice(0,val.length-dig)+"."+val.slice(dig);      return val.slice(0,val.length-dig)+"."+val.slice(val.length-dig); } alert (result + " metric converted... :)") Shonky ...

Thanks again for any help! Its not compulsory that you select text and run script. Script need some condition to search your digits. 1. What Paragraph Style applied on digits. 2. What Character Style applied on digits. 3. You want replace digits that appear in tables only. 4. Is any other digits appear in tables. 5. In which column your digits appear. If you give details of above points then it will easy to catch your digits and replace with your desire result. Shonky ... View more

I understand your problem because i also worked alot on Quark. I think there is only one solution for your shortcut that i am using in Indesign and that is Flux InDesign Eyedropper Tool Plug-in. Click here for review and download plugin If you'd like to try it, you can download a 60-day fully functioning demo, after which the Eyedropper plugin will expire. This is for Macintosh only.

Hi Mac I have checked your script and its look ok. Some time it skip the element from all figure captions and some time from body text and some time it works perfectly When it skip in some places, please make sure your markup tag name is "extlink" and its first xml element name is "http". If both conditions true then it will check for "http" makrup tag attribute value is "URL". If all condition true then it will remove the "extlink" tag. Shonky ... View more
