If a script, you have to check every character in every frame... If your document has a lot of text, the check will be delayed for a long time.

Hi, Alexander Ladygin​! How to launch the extension panel automtically after rebut (when using method new CSInterface().closeExtension())? Updated PS. I'm trying csInterface.requestOpenExtension(csInterface.getExtensionID(), ""); but it doesn't work

During using of the script I found two interesting points. Target: insert something at the beginning or end of the paragraph. A regular expression can be /^/gmi or /$/gmi. The loop becomes infinite in the first match. Fixed using setting the value of the RegExp.lastIntex property (refer to code below). Can not find a match with the latest sign of the end of the text (in Illustrator it appears as #). Finds a match with all the marks the end of lines, except the last. I am using the pattern /$/gmi. Although in ExtendScript or Chrome it works. var s = /^/gmi, replacer = " — ", atf = selection[0], result; while (result = s.exec (atf.contents)) { try { // when the pattern is /$/gmi or /^/gmi the loop becomes infinite if (result[0].length == 0) { s.lastIndex += replacer.length + 1; // enforce set the value of the RegExp.lastIndex property } aCon = atf.characters[result.index]; aCon.length = result[0].length; aCon.contents = replacer; } catch (e) { } } I would welcome any additions and explanations

Instead of "cookies" is better to use Storage object. It is much more convenient and works in any version of CC-Illustrator. Maybe this topic is in the wrong section.

To see the changes in the ExtendScript-part without restarting of Illustrator I just kill ALL CEP-processes through the creation of on-the-fly temporary batch file (bat or cmd). Then collapse and expand panel. But it work and only under Windows. And I think it needs local admins rights. Code for .jsx function killCEP () { /** * make bat-file that kill all system processes CEPHTMLEngine.exe */ _execFile ( Folder.temp.absoluteURI + '/' + 'taskkil.bat', 'taskkill /IM CEPHTMLEngine.exe /f' ); /** * make new file by full path, write to disk with some file contenr, execute file * * @param {String} filePath - FULL path (include file-extension) * @param {String} fileContent - content to new file */ function _execFile (filePath, fileContent) { var f = new File (filePath); f.open ('e'); f.write (fileContent); f.close (); f.execute (); } } Code for .js $ ("#btn_killCEP").click (function () { csInterface.evalScript ("killCEP()"); });

If you make changes to the html/css/js part of the panel, the panel can be reloaded, as Alexander Ladygin said above. If changes are made to the ExtendScript-file, you'll have to kill the CEP-process or restart Illustrator. It seems so. But I don't remeber where it was said in documentation...

I can not imagine how you can use the script to remember settings in the Print window. Probably nothing. Theoretically ExtendScript allows to disable any color when printing. But since version cs5 this feature in Illustrator does not work. If available InDesign, you can try to do so (using a script, of course): Save ai.-file as pdf-compatible Place in InDesign Print the PS-file from InDesign But the print parameters must be somehow pre-written script or marked in some dialog interface. It is possible.

Hi, pixxxel schubser. I'm sorry for the confusion. I wrote the question clearly, but attached very simple illustration. (and, quite possibly, I made some mistakes when translating into English). Of course, I want to use all the power of regular expressions! not just search/replace of one character I think your post #10 this is the best correct answer at this point in time, and post#14 excellent complements it.

From the search area excluded zones with different formatting. Of course it needs correcting. The algorithm is like this: Find match. Take the formatting of the first character of the match. Make replacement. Format (to previously saved formatting). And so on. Search in MSWord or InDesign behaves the nearly same.

This is character by character splits the selected frame to the blocks with the same formatting and then search/replace in these blocks. "The same formatting" is checked on the 4th parameters (font family, size, style, color). The boundaries between the blocks falls out of the search area. It works slowly. function repl (reStr, replacer) { var re = new RegExp (reStr, 'gmi'); var frm = selection[0]; var a, b, i = 0, txtOrig, txtModif; frm.textRange.characters.select (); for (; ; i++) { try { a = frm.textRange.characters; b = frm.textRange.characters[i + 1]; } catch (e) { _replRng (); break; } if (_cmprTxtAttr (a, b)) { b.select (true); continue; } else { _replRng (); i += txtModif.length - txtOrig.length; frm.textRange.characters[i + 1].select (); continue; } } function _replRng () { // nothing return; only modify global vars if (frm.textSelection.length > 1) { txtOrig = frm.textSelection[0].contents + frm.textSelection[1].contents; txtModif = txtOrig.replace (re, replacer); frm.textSelection[1].contents = txtModif.slice (-1); frm.textSelection[0].contents = txtModif.slice (0, -1); } else { txtOrig = frm.textSelection[0].contents; txtModif = txtOrig.replace (re, replacer); frm.textSelection[0].contents = txtModif; } } function _cmprTxtAttr (a, b) { return __compareFill (a, b) && __compareFont (a, b); function __compareFill (a, b) { var aCol = a.characterAttributes.fillColor; var bCol = b.characterAttributes.fillColor; if (aCol.typename != bCol.typename) return false; if (aCol.typename == 'RGBColor') { if (aCol.red != bCol.red || aCol.green != bCol.green || aCol.blue != bCol.blue) { return false; } } else if (aCol.typename == 'CMYKColor') { if (aCol.cyan != bCol.cyan || aCol.magenta != bCol.magenta || aCol.yellow != bCol.yellow || aCol.black != bCol.black) { return false; } } return true; } function __compareFont (a, b) { var aFnt = a.characterAttributes; var bFnt = b.characterAttributes; if (aFnt.size != bFnt.size) return false; if (aFnt.textFont.style != bFnt.textFont.style) return false; if (aFnt.textFont.family != bFnt.textFont.family) return false; return true; } } }

Silly-V, many thanks for the thought! If I understand you correctly, the sequence of actions can be something like this: Define attributes for comparison Select char n If (char n == n + 1) add the char n + 1 to the selected area else use the search/replace to the selection Remove selection Start the cycle again from the current position It seems that there is one problem: from the search is excluded the boundary between the two blocks with different formatting... But, in any case, this is the best solution available. And I forgot to clarify one obvious point (just in case): search for a single character (as in my first post) does not present any problems - the replacement can be carried out in a loop over the elements TextFrame.textRanges . The whole point in more complex regexp.

Hello! Required to make search and replace in a text frame using RegExp. And at that keep original character formatting of the text frame. How it's possible? Bad example – it changes the formating of the entire text to the format of the first character: var reg = /a/gmi; var replacer = '*'; var fr = activeDocument.textFrames[0]; fr.contents = fr.contents.replace (reg , replacer); Thanks!

Changing the language of the localized version of Windows to English US - is to creating additional problems for users. For example: troubles with non-English text in the native Windows Notepad and some other programs. I think in the localized versions of Windows, the system language must be installed local (in my case - Russian). off-topic: I myself am a developer, so these words are addressed to the leaderships of Adobe company, not for programmers team of Adobe Illustrator: Are you worried about what your users spend their time, nerves and money wasted? And does it matter that the reputation of the company quietly changing? Illustrator CC-2015 is so beautiful. I say this as a expert in prepress and JavaScript developer. But spoon of tar spoils a barrel of honey.

Hi, Zantcor! If I understand you correctly, you can specify the version of Illustrator in directive: #target illustrator-19
