Underline the last word found in a particular paragraph

[weon seongjae]

I have a problem.

When I use Grep expression to find a specific word, the whole word is searched based on the story.

But the word I'm looking for is a specific word at the end of the paragraph.

I want to underline the character style only in the last word of the whole paragraph.

I want to know how to implement with Grep expressions or scripts.

For example,

I have a dream.

I have a dream. I have a dream.

I have a dream. I have a dream. I have a dream, too.

I have a dream. I have a dream. I have a dream, too. Dream come true.

you can try this without grep if you want to.

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myFrame = myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0];
var para = myFrame.paragraphs;
for(var i = 0; i < para.length; i++){
    var myWord = null;
    var words = para.words;
    for(var j = 0; j < words.length; j++){
        if(words.contents.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf("dream") != -1){
            myWord = words;
            }
        }
    if(myWord != null){
        myWord.underline = true;
        }
    }

Very good.

I appreciate your solution.

However, the example above was made in English to help you understand.

"dream" with examples in English apply well.

But the language I use is East Asia.

I want to find the words made in China, Korea, Japan language as the above question.

For example, it might be expressed here,

not | wrong | wrong

In Korean, it is as follows.

아닌 | 틀린 | 잘못된

My aim is to underline the word that is located at the end of the paragraph when these words overlap in a paragraph.

I want to know if this language case of CJK culture is possible.

Thank you in advance.

So you can try this, You just Need to add your text in your array.

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myFrame = myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0];
var para = myFrame.paragraphs;
var myFindingWords = ["dream", "test", "test1"];
for(var m = 0; m < myFindingWords.length; m++){
    for(var i = 0; i < para.length; i++){
        var myWord = null;
        var words = para.words;
        for(var j = 0; j < words.length; j++){
            var myWordFind = myFindingWords.toLowerCase();
            if(words.contents.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(myWordFind) != -1){
                myWord = words;
                }
            }
        if(myWord != null){
            myWord.underline = true;
            }
        }
    }

As you mentioned, I put "아닌" in test1 and "없는" in test2.

But it did not work.

I wonder if word object does not apply in 2byte language.

I also attach an image file of what I am about to replace. The red underline is the part you want to replace.

var myDoc = app.documents[0];  
var myFrame = myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0];  
var para = myFrame.paragraphs;  
var myFindingWords = ["아닌", "없는"];  
for(var m = 0; m < myFindingWords.length; m++){  
    for(var i = 0; i < para.length; i++){  
        var myWord = null;  
        var words = para.words;  
        for(var j = 0; j < words.length; j++){  
            var myWordFind = myFindingWords.toLowerCase();  
            if(words.contents.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(myWordFind) != -1){  
                myWord = words;  
                }  
            }  
        if(myWord != null){  
            myWord.underline = true;  
            }  
        }  
    }

This is working properly in my system.

[weon seongjae]

Really?

It is strange that I do not work on my computer.

On the ExtendScript Toolkit screen, the result is "Execution finished: Result: undefined".

Does my Indesign have a problem?

[Sunil Yadav]

"Execution:finished" doesn't mean that there is an error.

Can you share your indesign file with some of those string?

So that I can have a loot at it?

[weon seongjae]

I replaced it with another string and made it a sentence.

If you follow the link you will get the inDesign shared file.

Please solve my problem.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p6xhgf8ralghtmb/test_modified.zip?dl=0

I added the used fonts. And inDesign was packaged.

[Sunil Yadav]

Code has worked in my system on your provided file.

I don't find any error!

Only one character has match and it is underlined!

[weon seongjae]

Thank you.

I'll have to reinstall my program once.

[weon seongjae]

I deleted the Indesign korean version and installed the English version.

Then it worked the same as you were successful.

The program may or may not be applied according to the language of each country.

This seems to be an official question to the Adobe company.

I am grateful for your efforts to solve the problem.

Thank you so much.

ps.

In addition, I ask you one more question.

I wanted a way to underline only word in a particular paragraph.

So please let me know how to find this in a paragraph with a paragraph style named "AA" rather than an entire paragraph.

[Sunil Yadav · Accepted solution]

Just on condition before finding text in that paragraph, Just like this,

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myFrame = myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0];
var para = myFrame.paragraphs;
var myFindingWords = ["아닌", "없는"];
for(var m = 0; m < myFindingWords.length; m++){
    for(var i = 0; i < para.length; i++){
//Test Your para style here
        if(para.appliedParagraphStyle.name.toString() == "TestParagraphStyle"){
            var myWord = null;
            var words = para.words;
            for(var j = 0; j < words.length; j++){
                var myWordFind = myFindingWords.toLowerCase();
                if(words.contents.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(myWordFind) != -1){
                    myWord = words;
                    }
                }
            if(myWord != null){
                myWord.underline = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

Your solution works very well.

This is the best answer.

Thank you once again for your sincerity!!

Hi Yadav,

Interested by your code, I've tested it! …

[Why limit the research to one text frame on the first page?]

Targets: "dream" and "cloud"

Using your last code:

Mine:

Grep seems to me simpler to code and mostly more efficient! …

// by FRIdNGE [September 2018]
app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Underlinings! …");
function main()
    {
        // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        var myTargets = ["dream","cloud"], // To be completed! …
        myPStyle = "TestParagraphStyle", // Name of the Para Style
        myCStyle = "Underlining", // Name of the Char Style
        // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        T = myTargets.length,  t;
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
        for ( t = 0; t < T; t++ ) {
            app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?i)(\\b" + myTargets + "\\b)(?!.+\\b\\1\\b.*)";
            app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myPStyle;
            app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myCStyle;
            app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
        }
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
        alert("Done! …  ;-)\rby FRIdNGE [September 2018]")
    }

Best,

Michel, for FRIdNGE
