The macro created will reformat the text and make it Myriad Pro Semibold, but the macro will not record the actual font Myriad Pro Semibold It, nor can you get it to italicize the text using the italicize command separately. This is an excellent Mac power user tip, and if you find yourself frequently accessing the same menu items within an app or all applications, consider setting up a custom keyboard shortcut for that item to speed up your workflow. Click on a text-entry form, type in your macro (“addr,” in my case), and press the space bar or a punctuation mark—and when you do, the text string you saved a few steps ago (“1234 Main Street”) will jump into the form. KM Macro Forum: Evernote Mac Apply Standard Format One of the missing features often asked for in Evernote is text formatting Styles, much like what is used in MS Word. This KM Macro is an attempt at providing a very limited 'Style' that can be quickly applied to a selection of text in an EN Mac Note.

How can I use the built in tool, Automator (rather than a 3rd party app), to create a simple keyboard macro?

For example, I want it to press Cmd-Shift Left, then Cmd-U, then Right, etc.

I tried using the record feature to create this macro, but ran into several problems.

The first is that it's copying my mouse events after I press record and as I go into the application I want to run the macro on. For example, in this case I want to run it in Chrome. I ended up deleting the first few steps which involved launching chrome. The reason I deleted them is because I don't want it to be limited to a specific application, and I think that it just adds to the complexity if it tries activating an application. I want it to stick with running keyboard commands only.

The second problem is that I'm not sure how to initiate the keyboard macro. Do I save the recorded file? Where to? How do I invoke the macro once I am in Chrome? Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to it?

If you don't want to use any third party apps you are really complicating your life. Although I think it's possible.

1) Open Automator and create a new Service. In your workflow you want to Run Applescript. In there you tell it to press the keys you want.

Once you save it as a Service you can then set up a keyboard shortcut for it in System Preferences. It should automatically show up under the General group. Make sure it's enabled and give it a keyboard shortcut.

I have gotten this to work by testing the Show history function Cmd-Y. Hopefully the above isn't too cryptic.

If you want to set global shortcuts and run scripts you might want to look at BetterTouchTool: http://blog.boastr.net/

To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:

Create Keyboard Macro Windows 10

On keyboards made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command.

Some keys on some Apple keyboards have special symbols and functions, such as for display brightness , keyboard brightness , Mission Control, and more. If these functions aren't available on your keyboard, you might be able to reproduce some of them by creating your own keyboard shortcuts. To use these keys as F1, F2, F3, or other standard function keys, combine them with the Fn key.

Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts

• Command-X: Cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard.

Gate General Architecture For Text Engineering

General Architecture for Text Engineering or GATE is a Java suite of tools originally developed at the University of Sheffield beginning in 1995 and now used worldwide by a wide community of scientists, companies, teachers and students for many natural language processing tasks, including information extraction in many languages.^[1]

GATE has been compared to NLTK, R and RapidMiner.^[2] As well as being widely used in its own right, it forms the basis of the KIM semantic platform.^[3]

GATE community and research has been involved in several European research projects including TAO, SEKT, NeOn, Media-Campaign, Musing, Service-Finder, LIRICS and KnowledgeWeb, as well as many other projects.

As of May 28, 2011, 881 people are on the gate-users mailing list at SourceForge.net, and 111,932 downloads from SourceForge are recorded since the project moved to SourceForge in 2005.^[4] The paper 'GATE: A Framework and Graphical Development Environment for Robust NLP Tools and Applications'^[5] has received over 800 citations in the seven years since publication (according to Google Scholar). Books covering the use of GATE, in addition to the GATE User Guide,^[6] include 'Building Search Applications: Lucene, LingPipe, and Gate', by Manu Konchady,^[7] and 'Introduction to Linguistic Annotation and Text Analytics', by Graham Wilcock.^[8]

Features[edit]

GATE includes an information extraction system called ANNIE (A Nearly-New Information Extraction System) which is a set of modules comprising a tokenizer, a gazetteer, a sentence splitter, a part of speech tagger, a named entities transducer and a coreference tagger. ANNIE can be used as-is to provide basic information extraction functionality, or provide a starting point for more specific tasks.

Languages currently handled in GATE include English, Chinese, Arabic, Bulgarian, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Cebuano, Romanian, Russian, Danish.

Plugins are included for machine learning with Weka, RASP, MAXENT, SVM Light, as well as a LIBSVM integration and an in-house perceptron implementation, for managing ontologies like WordNet, for querying search engines like Google or Yahoo, for part of speech tagging with Brill or TreeTagger, and many more. Many external plugins are also available, for handling e.g. tweets.^[9]

GATE accepts input in various formats, such as TXT, HTML, XML, Doc, PDF documents, and Java Serial, PostgreSQL, Lucene, Oracle Databases with help of RDBMS storage over JDBC.

JAPE transducers are used within GATE to manipulate annotations on text. Documentation is provided in the GATE User Guide.^[10] A tutorial has also been written by Press Association Images.^[11]

The screenshot shows the document viewer used to display a document and its annotations. In pink are <A> hyperlink annotations from an HTML file. The right list is the annotation sets list, and the bottom table is the annotation list. In the center is the annotation editor window.

GATE Mímir[edit]

GATE generates vast quantities of information including; natural language text, semantic annotations, and ontological information. Sometimes the data itself is the end product of an application but often the information would be more useful if it could be efficiently searched. GATE Mimir provides support for indexing and searching the linguistic and semantic information generated by such applications and allows for querying the information using arbitrary combinations of text, structural information, and SPARQL.

Find And Replace Text In Excel For Mac

• Find And Replace Text In Excel Macro
• Find And Replace With Excel

I've imported some data into Excel (from a text file) and it contains some sort of newline characters. It looks like this initially:

If I hit F2 (to edit) then Enter (to save changes) on each of the cells with a newline (without actually editing anything), Excel automatically changes the layout to look like this:

1. Replace & Find: Replaces the selected match with the replacement text and moves to the next. Replace: Replaces the selected match with the replacement text but doesn’t move to the next match. Previous and Next arrows: Move to the previous or next match without making a change.
2. Click the “Replace” tab in the left column and fill in the two blank spaces. In this case we shall enter “this” in the “find” field and “the” in the “and replace with” field. Enable “batch replace” and click the “Apply” button and you will be off and running.
3. Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video, Locating and changing data using Find and Replace, part of Office 365 for Mac: Excel Essential Training.

I don't want these newlines characters here, as it messes up data processing further down the track. How can I do a search for these to detect more of them? The usual search function doesn't accept an enter character as a search character.

I have a sheet in and Excel file with a lot of data in it. When I try to search for a word in this particular sheet I get: 'Microsoft Excel cannot find the data you're searching for' even for words that are present in the sheet.

In Excel the standard line break Alt + Enter character is ASCII 10. From the look of your screenshot it appears there is another character, probably ASCII 13.

To find these, in the standard Find (or Replace) dialog, in the Find What field, use the standard method of entering ASCII character codes: hold down Alt and type (on the numeric keypad) the character code, i.e., Alt 0010 for just the line break, or Alt 0013 (release Alt and press again) Alt 0010

If that extra character is not a ASCII 13, you can use the function =Code(AString) to get the code of the left most character of a string.

The mid() function can parse through multiple lines.

Let's say this address is in cell A1:

Let's grab the street address on the second line.
The first step is determine the position number of the two return characters.
The first return character is found at '13' with this:

The second return character is found at '36' with this:

Now the second step. We need to return our address text between the two character counts 13 & 36.

• How To Change Text Spacing In Word Mac

If you need to find and replace the occurrence of a word, phrase, URL, or whatever, and it's in several documents, this can be a really tedious task. If you're running Mac OS X, Linux, or really any Unix-based operating system, you can use the command line to save you a lot of time and effort.

In a Word document, insert your new image that you want to replace existing ones with at the top of the document. Highlight it, and hit Command + C if you’re on a Mac or Ctrl + C if you’re in Windows to copy the image. Microsoft Word doesn’t have a Find and Replace search box for text, but there is a workaround you can use, and it involves the Clipboard. How to Find and Replace Text With Images You can use this process to replace a specific placeholder text with an image.

All you really need is this simple command:

Replace: Replaces the selected match with the replacement text but doesn’t move to the next match. Previous and Next arrows: Move to the previous or next match without making a change. Replacing a table value updates both the displayed value and the underlying value. But after upgrading to Word 2011, I cannot find and replace text in specific columns. Even though I am highlighting the desired column, the find & replace function replaces the text throughout all the columns.

perl -pi -w -e 's/SEARCH_FOR/REPLACE_WITH/g;' *.txt

The search string is what you need to alter. You want to replace SEARCH_FOR with the text you're searching for and REPLACE_WITH with the text you want to use as a replacement. You'll also want to change *.txt if you're working with HTML files (or another type of text file). This command also assumes you're in the directory you want, so you'll also need to use cd to change to the directory you want or will have to specify the full path. For example:

perl -pi -w -e 's/stupid/awesome/g;' ~/Desktop/*.txt

The above command will replace all occurrences of 'stupid' with 'awesome' found in any .txt files on the desktop. Pretty neat!

Text editors are much more helpful if you're editing code, creating web pages, doing text transformation or other things for which a word processor is just overkill.

Then in 2012 something amazing happened: Odgaard released TextMate 2 as open source.
