I have a routine which reads an XML file and builds an ID document. How do I create a page break by adding to the current insertionPoint? I tried it with
story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents += SpecialCharacters.pageBreak;
but those special characters seem to apply only to XML. What is the alternative? - I'm using ID CS5.
I got the answer elsewhere. The trick is to use the assignment instead of the concatenation operator:
story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents = SpecialCharacters.pageBreak;
Looking at the InDesign JS API documentation, it's actually:
story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents = SpecialCharacters.PAGE_BREAK;

I have some cell texts in a BIRT report which do not flow as nicely as I hoped.
For example,
The text is Long value resultwithaverylongname whichcannotbreak and I had hoped that it would be displayed like this:
Long value
resultwithaverylongname
whichcannotbreak
The render options are as follows:
renderOptions.setOutputFormat(IPDFRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PDF);
renderOptions.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW, IPDFRenderOption.OUTPUT_TO_MULTIPLE_PAGES);
renderOptions.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_TEXT_WRAPPING, true);
renderOptions.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_WORDBREAK, true);
It seems to me that my desired output is physically possible but I don't know why BIRT does not break on a whitespace and breaks in the middle of the word.
I am using BIRT 4.16 (from Sourceforge). The texts contain normal whitespace (no non-breakable spaces) and are displayed via a data object.

I now have an example project which I am trying to commit to Github. In the meantime here is a screenshot showing breaks which look good and others which are not...
The git repo is here: https://github.com/pramsden/test.wordbreak
If the text "resultwithaverylongname" physically fits, then you are right:
BIRT should not break it in the middle of the word.
Your renderOptions seem right (depending of what BIRT version you are using).
At first glance this looks like a bug.
But: In German language, we often have quite long words, and I've created a lot of (complex) PDF reports with BIRT, but I never saw this issue.
So I guess it is a tiny silly detail which causes this.
Just to double-check:
Are the spaces between "Long", "value", "result..." normal spaces (0x20)? or non-breaking spaces?
Which BIRT release are you using?
Are you using a data item or a dynamic text item and if so, is it HTML or plain text?
Can you create a reproducible simple test case and post the rptdesign file somewhere?
well i don use BIRT , but try to use (\n),
in my case I use PDFFlow library to generate pdf docs, and to make a line-break i just use \n
this is a simple example code to create a pdf file and use line break
var DocumentBuilder.New()
.AddSection()
.AddParagraphToSection("Hello world! \n go to the next line")
.ToDocument()
.Build("Result.PDF");
try it and tell me if it works
So I have a little silly problem. I have a groovy script that reads all files in a folder and then manipulates the files in such a way to output the file names for the user to select the correct one in the live template variable. My problem is that the auto suggestion list only displays 1 item and not multiple items to select from in the IDE.
Here is the live template setup:
This is the output:
This is what I want (without using enum()):
This is the piece of code:
groovyScript("import static groovy.io.FileType.FILES;def curPath = _editor.getVirtualFile().getPath().split('/src/')[0];def dir = new File(curPath+'/src/partials');def files = [];dir.traverse(type: FILES, maxDepth: 1) { files.add(it.toString().replace('/src/partials/','').replace(curPath,'').replace('.html','')) }; return files;",methodParameters())
Please help... Since google searches does not yield any proper answers.
As of IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3, the groovyScript() feature does not support generating a list of suggestions. It can only be used to calculate a single suggestion which is then inserted into the editor.
I'm trying to get the funcList visual studio code extension plugin to work with a proprietary language that I use and I'm having a problem getting the regex to work. The plugin documentation can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qrti.funclist and describes creating a settings.json file inside the .vscode folder of your project. My problems arise when trying to modify the regex expressions for the funcList.nativeFilter and funcList.displayFilter configuration values. Here is my current settings.json file:
{
"funcList.nativeFilter": "/(?:^|\\s)Function\\s+\\w+\\(/mg",
"funcList.displayFilter": "/\\s*Function\\s+(.*)/1",
"funcList.sortList": 1,
"funcList.doubleSpacing": false
}
I believe the main problem is the part of \\w+ in the nativeFilter property. This seems to only match on characters/numbers but not any special characters. Here is a snippet of a piece of code that I would like to work with this Function List:
Function Do.Something(paramOne, paramTwo)
'...
End Function
Method Do.Something_Else(paramOne, paramTwo)
'...
End Function
Ideally, the nativeFilter would capture Function Do.Something(paramOne, paramTwo) .. until End Function and then the displayFilter would only capture the first line (ie. Do.Something(paramOne, paramTwo))
Note: according to the docs, nativeFilter does not allow regex groups, but displayFilter allows groups 0-9.
I use this for javascript and the funcList extension. It is similar to what you are trying to do:
// so that "function someName(arg1, arg2) is captured
"funcList.nativeFilter": "/^[a-z]+\\s+\\w+\\s*\\(.*\\)/mgi",
// now display "someName(arg1, arg2)"
"funcList.displayFilter": "/\\S* +(\\w+\\s*\\(.*\\))/1",
You obviously have capital letters, periods and underscores to worry about but hopefully this helps you to some degree. [I see I did not need to actually put the function keyword in to make it work...]
[EDIT] Try this, it seems to work:
"funcList.nativeFilter": "/^Function \\w+.\\w+\\(.*\\)?/mg",
"funcList.displayFilter": "/\\S* +(\\w+.\\w+\\(.*\\))/1",
You just needed the . as it is not included in \w
This seems to be working for my needs:
{
"funcList.nativeFilter": "/^(Function|Method|Macro)\\s+[a-zA-Z0-9.+(){}\\/\\\\[\\],_\\-=:;!##$%^&*|,.<>? ]*\\).*$/mg",
"funcList.displayFilter": "/\\s*((Function|Method|Macro)\\s+[a-zA-Z0-9.+(){}\\/\\\\[\\],_\\-=:;!##$%^&*|,.<>? ]+)/1"
}
With this plugin, you need to capture the entire line in order to get the navigation to work when clicking on a function list.
I want to use regex to find and replace (with alternate text) all instances of email addresses in an existing pdf using coldfusion - is this possible?
the cfpdf tag has an action of read and write, to and from a variable, in between which you can manipulate the data with the regex function of your choice, perhaps ReReplace().

I'm doing a favor for a friend, getting him off of Blogger and onto a hosted WordPress blog.
The big problem is, with over 1,800 posts, there are a lot of image links to deal with. WordPress has no mechanism to import these automatically, so I'm doing it manually.
I've used wget to download every single image that has ever been linked/embedded on the site. Now I need some help building a MySQL query to change all of the images in the blog to their new address.
For example:
http://www.externaldomain.com/some/link/to/an/image.jpg
Ought to become:
http://www.newbloghosting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/legacy/www.externaldomain.com/some/link/to/an/image.jpg
So the condition is, if a string in post_content ends in jpeg, jpg, gif or png, replace:
http://
with
http://www.newbloghosting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/legacy/
I know how to do a blanket replace with
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com');
But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish my more nuanced, conditional approach.
Thanks for any guidance you can offer. (Torn between posting here or ServerFault but SO looks like it has plenty of MySQL gurus, so here I am.)
MySQL has a great selection of string manipulation functions that you can plug into your query's WHERE section.
UPDATE wp_posts
SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com')
WHERE RIGHT(post_content, 4) = 'jpeg'
OR RIGHT(post_content, 3) IN ('jpg', 'gif', 'png');
If it were me, though, I'd do two additional things: convert it to lowercase to match e.g. '.JPG', and match the dot before jpg, gif, etc.:
WHERE LOWER(RIGHT(post_content, 5)) = '.jpeg'
OR LOWER(RIGHT(post_content, 4)) IN ('.jpg', '.gif', '.png');
REPLACE will only perform an alteration if the old substring is found - I don't see the concern.
REPLACE(post_content, 'http://www.old-domain.com', 'http://www.new-domain.com');
...will work. If you want to limit the updates to rows containing "jpeg", "jpg", "gif" and/or "png", add:
WHERE INSTR(post_content, 'jpeg') > 0
OR INSTR(post_content, 'jpg') > 0
OR INSTR(post_content, 'gif') > 0
OR INSTR(post_content, 'png') > 0

If everything fails, what about using the import feature? Then use a plugin to get your images as well (check for the comments in the plugin post since there are some relevant information).
I don't think it can be done in a simple query, but it's relatively easy to do with a simple php script. just have a simple loop in php to go over every single row with content and do a preg_replace on the content field, then update that single row.
It's not nearly as elegant as doing it in sql, but its sure to get the job done today as oposed to sometime this year.
P.S. this is assuming there is more content than just the URL, in which case normal mysql string functions would suffice.
