Utilities.dll is a small utilities program for FrameMaker+SGML 5.5 or later, Windows Version. It works on fm structured documents only.
It can do 3 things:
- Assign an unique id to every element that has an id attribute. Id attribute type may be CDATA or ID.
- Find a string within a specific element type. The main purpose of this function is to find an element type in EDD. But it can be used on any structured fm document.
- Find a particular element type repeatedly.

USES
This dll adds a menu "MyUtilities" in the menu bar. Three menu items in this menu are:
"Assign ids"
It assigns an id to every element, which has an id attribute, in the opened document. A dialog box prompts for a prefix string and a second dialog box prompts for a suffix string. The id assigned is (prefix)(sequential number)(suffix)
"Find string in element tag"
It searches from the top of the opened document for a string in a particular element type. A dialog box prompts for a string to be searched for. A second dialog box prompts for an element name. It defaults to "Tag", which is element type in EDD for element name. It searches for the string and scrolls to the location.
"Find element"
It searches from the top of the opened document for an element type. A dialog box prompt for an element name. When an occurance is found, a dialog box prompt for "Find Next". "Yes" will search for the next occurance. "No" will stop the search.
