Quark Forums

Hello Team,

I would like to remove hard returns from my active document using script.

can you please provide me any reference or sample for this.

 Thanks,

Shailesh

 Sorry, I've changed Macs and lost my app that makes scripts look pretty, but copy and paste should work!

--Put what you want to search for as the first parameter,
--and what you want to replace it with as the second.
--you can add as many of these as you like!

SAndR(return, "")


on SAndR(searchstring, replacestring)
    tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
        -- the try...end try bit means it won't error if it doesn't find any instances of a given searchstring
        try
            set (every text of every story where it is searchstring) to replacestring
        end try
    end tell
end SAndR



 

Damn, just downloaded Convert to Markup Script again and all I'm getting is this (see below)! Thought I'd matched my prefs - have I missed something?

Open the AppleScript "S&R" in a new Script Editor window.

Hi There,

I have not yet tested this. Will test this code and let you know.

Sorry for this as i am working on another scripts.

Thanks,

Shailesh

donone:

just use the find and replace feature in quark copy and paste a return into the first field place a space in the second field replace all. it will remove all returns and replace with a space

 This is the Applescript forum donone... your solution does not work here.
