Find different text and apply different paragraph styles

[suresh0208]

Hi,

I have so many documents. Which style may be repeated, But not next after next.

My requirement is:

Step 1:

Find Text Called "SECTION" in content and apply the style name called "Level-1";

Step 2:

Find Numbers started in content like "1.1, 1.2, 1.3 to 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 so on " and apply the style name called "Level-2";

Step 3: Remaining text Should apply "Para";

Step 4: In Paragraph if Tab(Space) Comes before that apply the charecter style called "Para Bold".

Below is a sample example:

I am very new to scripting. can any one help !

Below the code i have tried and getting a error:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,     

myCodes = ["SECTION","Numbers"],   

C = myCodes.length,  c;     

app.findTextPreferences = null;   

for ( c = 0; c < C; c++) {        

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myCodes;        

    myFound = myDoc.findText();     

    var F = myFound.length,  f;

    var Style_01 = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("INDEX").paragraphStyles.itemByName("Level-1");

    var Style_02 = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("INDEX").paragraphStyles.itemByName("Level-2");

    for ( f = 0; f < F; f++) {   

        myFound.appliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.characterStyles[0];

        if ((myFound.appliedParagraphStyle == Style_01) ||

            (myFound.appliedParagraphStyle == Style_02) ||

            ) {   

                            myFound.appliedParagraphStyle = MyStyle;

        } else{}

    }   

}

//I have tried this script too but not understanding,

var main = function() {             

    //VARS           

    var doc = app.properties.activeDocument,           

    fgp = app.findGrepPreferences.properties,           

    texts = [], n = 0, nthText, myParaStyle,         

    texts2 = [], n = 0, nthText2, myParaStyle2,   

    texts3 = [], n = 0, nthText3, myParaStyle3,   

    texts4 = [], n = 0, nthText4, myParaStyle4,  

    paraStyleName = "Text New";    

    paraStyleName2 = "Text New 12";    

    paraStyleName3 = "Quotation New Bold";     

    paraStyleName4 = "Quotation New Italic"; 

    //Exit if no documents open           

    if ( !doc ) {           

    alert("You need an open document" );           

    return;           

    }               

    //Create ParaStyle if needed. Otherwise use it       

    var paraStyle = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("TEXT NEW").paragraphStyles.itemByName(paraStyleName);     

    myParaStyle = doc.paragraphStyles.item ( paraStyleName );           

    // if ( !myParaStyle.isValid ) myParaStyle = doc.paragraphStyles.add ( paraStyleName );           

    var paraStyle2 = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("TEXT NEW").paragraphStyles.itemByName(paraStyleName2); 

    myParaStyle2 = doc.paragraphStyles.item ( paraStyleName2 );           

    // if ( !myParaStyle2.isValid ) myParaStyle2 = doc.paragraphStyles.add ( paraStyleName2 );   

    var paraStyle3 = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("QUOTATION NEW").paragraphStyles.itemByName(paraStyleName3); 

    myParaStyle3 = doc.paragraphStyles.item ( paraStyleName3 );           

    // if ( !myParaStyle3.isValid ) myParaStyle3 = doc.paragraphStyles.add ( paraStyleName3 );   

    var paraStyle4 = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("QUOTATION NEW").paragraphStyles.itemByName(paraStyleName4); 

    myParaStyle4 = doc.paragraphStyles.item ( paraStyleName4 );           

    // if ( !myParaStyle4.isValid ) myParaStyle4 = doc.paragraphStyles.add ( paraStyleName4 );  

    //Setting grep find preferences           

    app.findGrepPreferences = null;         

    app.findGrepPreferences.properties = {           

    findWhat:".+",           

    }           

    //Finding texts with static properties           

    texts = doc.findGrep();           

    n = texts.length;           

    //Looping through found texts to inspect further properties with values ranges.           

    while ( n--  ) {nthText = texts;                    

        if (nthText.fontStyle =="Roman" && nthText.pointSize <= 10.5 ){nthText.appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle;}  

        if (nthText.pointSize == 12){nthText.appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle2;}  

        if (nthText.fontStyle == "Bold"){nthText.appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle3;}  

        if (nthText.fontStyle == "Italic") {nthText.appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle4;}    

    }       

    //reverting UI values in the F/C panel           

    app.findGrepPreferences.properties = fgp;           

    }           

    var u;                  

    app.doScript ( "main()",u,u,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "The Script" );

myFound.appliedParagraphStyle = MyStyle;

Where is "MyStyle" referenced ?

And what kind of error do you get exactly ?

[suresh0208]

Hi Loic,

I really don't have idea. I have searched some topics in forum and try to edit that.

And the error i got is "Object Invalid".

If you can help in this that would be great.

Thanks

And the error i got is "Object Invalid".

there is probably more like the line number…

Hi Loic,

I am tried to edit a bit more and it is applying para style to text, But when i put a condition in text it's not working. When find text apply level-1 style. The updated codes as follows:

var myIndFile = File.openDialog ("Select Indesign File"); 

var myWordFile = File.openDialog ("Select Word File"); 

app.open (myIndFile); 

var mydoc = app.activeDocument; 

mydoc.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true; 

mydoc.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = false; 

mydoc.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = false; 

mydoc.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.endOfStory; 

mydoc.pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0).place(File(myWordFile)); 

/*Style AREA*/

    try{

    myParagraphStyle = mydoc.paragraphStyles.item("Para");

    //If the paragraph style does not exist, trying to get its name will generate an error.

    myName = myParagraphStyle.name;

    }

    catch (myError){

    //The paragraph style did not exist, so create it.

    myParagraphStyle = mydoc.paragraphStyles.add({name:"Para"});

    }

/*End of Style AREA*/

    var myTextFrame = mydoc.pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0);

    myTextFrame.parentStory.texts.item(0).applyParagraphStyle(myParagraphStyle, true);

myCodes = ["SECTION"],  

C = myCodes.length,  c;    

app.findTextPreferences = null;  

for ( c = 0; c < C; c++) {       

    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myCodes;       

    myFound = myDoc.findText();    

    var F = myFound.length,  f;

     for ( f = 0; f < F; f++) {  

          if ((myFound.appliedParagraphStyle == myParagraphStyle) && (myFound == myCodes)) {  

                            myFound.appliedParagraphStyle = Level1;

        }

         }

     }

var wordName = myWordFile.name;

app.activeDocument.save(new File(myIndFile.path + "/"  +myIndFile.name.replace(".indd", "") + "_" +wordName+"_Spanish" + "_V1.0.indd"));

Line no : 21 to 55 needs some suggestions to edit.

My next task is find line starts with numbers chage to level-2 style.

Thanks,

Suresh.
