搜索並替換對話方塊 (資料來源轉換)

You can use the search and replace transform to associate data-sourced colors with objects on your template.If the database that your document is connected to does not contain color information, you can use the search and replace transform to map each value in a database field to a unique color.The transform searches for the value of the field that you specify and replaces it with the color that you specify.

請參考以下範例：

Your company produces membership cards for a local gym.Members can have monthly, annual, or unlimited membership levels, and you want a color-coded stripe that corresponds to each level to appear on the cards.You have connected to a database that includes a "MemberLevel" field, and you want to associate this field with a different color for each membership level.In this case, you can use the search and replace transform to search for each membership level in the database and then map a different color to each level.

為此，請依照以下步驟進行：

1. Connect your document to a database that contains a MemberLevel field that includes the following values:Monthly, Annual, and Unlimited.

2. Add a rectangular shape object to the template for the stripe.

3. 按兩下矩形以開啟「矩形屬性」對話方塊。

4. Configure the rectangle's fill properties to use color that is sourced by using the search and replace transform.為此，請依照以下步驟進行：

1. In the Fill Properties area, click the Color option to open the Color Picker.

2. Click to expand the Color Picker if it is not already expanded.

3. On the Standard or Custom tab, click Set via data source.

4. In the Data Sourced Color dialog, make sure that Get color from data source is selected, and then click Data Source in the left navigation pane.
   

5. On the Data Source tab, click for the Type field, and then use the Change Data Source Type wizard to change the data source type to Database Field.按一下「下一步」。

6. On the Database Field page of the Change Data Source Type wizard, select the MemberLevel field in the Field name list, and then click Finish.

7. In the Data Sourced Color dialog, click the Transforms tab.

8. Click next to the Search and replace field to open the Search and Replace dialog.

9. On the toolbar at the bottom of the Actions list, click .

10. In the Actions Options area, configure the following properties:

• In the Description field, add a descriptive name for the action.

• In the Action list, make sure that Search and Replace is selected.

• In the Search for field, enter the value of the MemberLevel database field that you want to search for.For example, enter "Monthly".Make sure that the term that you enter is an exact match for the term in the database that you want to search for.

• In the Replace with field, enter the name or hexadecimal value of the color that you want to use for the Monthly membership level.(Supported colors are listed in the "Predefined Colors" section that follows.) If you use the hexadecimal value, do not include the number sign (#).

  For Pantone colors, use either the "friendly" name (such as "Electric Purple") or the technical name (such as "PANTONE 18-3640 TN").You can view a list of these colors by clicking the PANTONE tab of the Color Picker.

11. Repeat steps i and j for the other values in the MemberLevel database field.

12. Click OK to close the Search and Replace dialog.

5. 按一下「確定」以關閉「資料來源色彩」對話方塊。

6. As needed, repeat this procedure for the line properties of the rectangle.Otherwise, click Close to close the Box Properties dialog.

You can use the search and replace transform to add soft hyphens to your text.Soft hyphens are invisible formatting characters that you can use to dynamically break words at any defined hyphenation point.

請參考以下範例：

Your company produces labels that use one of several different languages to convey the same information.You define the hyphens for the text that is to be inserted in the text object so that the hyphenation will be correct for each language as it is printed, no matter the size or shape of the text object.

For example, for the German label, you want the following text to appear:

Ab dem 24.Au­gust 2023 muss vor der in­dus­tri­ellen oder ge­werb­lich­en Ver­wen­dung ei­ne an­ge­mes­sene Schu­lung er­fol­gen.

You use a backslash (\) and hyphen (-) combination to define hyphenation points for this text as follows:

Ab dem 24.Au\-gust 2023 muss vor der in\-dus\-tri\-ellen oder ge\-werb\-lich\-en Ver-wen\-dung ei\-ne an\-ge\-mes\-sene Schu\-lung er\-fol\-gen.

Then, you want to replace these hyphenation placeholders with a Unicode soft hyphen.When you do this, the printed label shows only those hyphens that are necessary for the size and shape of the printed text object and hides the others.

為此，請依照以下步驟進行：

1. Add a normal wrapped text object to your BarTender template, and then enter the text that contains the backslash and hyphen combinations.

2. 按兩下文字物件以開啟「文字內容」對話方塊。

3. On the Transforms tab, click  to the right of the Search and replace field.

4. On the actions toolbar, click to create a new action.

5. In the Action Options area, configure the settings as follows:

   • In the Description field, enter an optional description of the action.

   • In the Action list, select Search and Replace.

   • In the Search for box, enter a backslash and hyphen combination (\-).

   • In the Syntax list, select Literal.

   • Click inside the Replace with box, and then press ALT+0173.Notice that no character appears in the box, but the text in the text object adjusts to replace the backslash and hyphen combinations with soft hyphens.

6. Click OK to close the Search and Replace dialog.

7. 按一下「關閉」以關閉「文字內容」對話方塊。

On the BarTender template, you can resize the text object to observe how the hyphenation changes dynamically.
