GREP style: behind | until line end

[Thomas Olbrich]

I'm just exercising GREP style again with poor programming skills and no success. 

In every line all text behind this char | (vertical bar) shall become a glyph style until the line end. 

Sample:

Line beginning in paragraph style | from here with glyph style 

New line without glyph style  |  glyph style again

New line … etc

I have tried this code (which still includes the | but must not!): 

\|\d{.,}\r

Nothing happens. - Any hints? 

Thank you!

I would put all the line in a §style (italic glyph)

And the bold part ahead of the | in a charstyle

Me too, with a nested character style you could set the paragraph style's font to italic and nest the bold character style up to the vertical bar, then perhaps a style through the vertical bar if you need one.

How about with a look-behind? I just got a GREP style going with

(?<=\|).+$

but I don't know what you're doing with digits and punctuation.

And you could have this in the grep of the nested style

.+\|

> nest the bold character style up to the vertical bar,

I had tried before but could not find a way to use a nested style up to a certain char/glyph. How can I?

Thank's Michel, your code works like a charm. But unfortunately there are lines without | char, too. Those lines do appear in the wrong style.

Is there no way to style vice versa, means only those lines which have the | got changed?

Thanks,

You can type pr copy and paste a character into the nested style's "through/until" definition spot (not sure what to call that little selection drop down).

If you have some pars with vertical bars and some without, I'd make the bold a nested style through the End Nested Style character. You could use a nested GREP style in that paragraph style to change the vertical bar to vertical bar + End Nested Style character, or just search and replace them manually.

Okay, then you have to use the Look Behind

Your § style in the bold font
your char style for the glyph part

and this in the grep
(?<=\|).+

Sorry, this was what you asked at first, and it seems that it already had been suggested.

Perfect GREP code! - Thank you Michel!

Thank you, Rebecca! - I did not know that I can type or paste text/chars into that field in nested styles, too!
(meanwhile Michels GREP code works like a charm ;-)

Don't forget that nested styles and GREP styles do not export to ePub
(unless Adobe announces something different today at Adobe MAX 2011).
There is a "turn grep styles to char styles" script and an "apply nested
styles" script available.

Because I work on books that likely all will become ePubs, I only use GREP
styles for things that I don't need in an ePub, like kerning URL slashes
or biblio em dashes. It takes me less time overall to apply characters
styles with Search & Replace than to go back and double-check everything
after running the un-nest/un-GREP scripts.

However, if I were putting together a complex document that would never be
an ePub, I would use every nested style and GREP style I could think of.

Rebecca

[Michel Raj]

Thanks Rebecca, I didn't know that.
Where are these scripts available ?

Michel

[Evans, Rebecca]

This InDesign Secrets post has links to both those scripts as well as
others:

http://indesignsecrets.com/free-scripts-help-fix-word-formatting.php

"Apply Nested Styles" is one of Harbs' scripts, and "Turn Grep Styles 2
Char Styles" is by Adi Ravid.

Thank you, too for this hint.

Though I am not expericenced in epub I wonder if it wouldn't work before
epub-export to release all text from any applied stlye without to change
look/formatting. (means: see the forth flyout from top in both style
palettes). ­ Or does an ePub need to keep text formatting as styles to make
the ePub work properly?

InDesign styles become the CSS styles used in the ePub, either by creating
those CSS styles when you export from InDesign, or by mapping the InDesign
styles to existing CSS styles in an ePub template you want to use.
