I appreciate you advise and help, thankyou for your patients. I went out and got a beginners guide to Javascript on saturday. It will certainly help me with the syntax etc. I notice it was old (1996), and is web based, but i guess that shouldn't effect me.

I have spent several hours over the weekend pondering over the existing problem i have. I have run tests, checks, in the debugger window with no avail. Could you have a look at this following script for me and let me know your thoughts? I have included some remarks to let you know what i was getting.

Thanks a lot,

Roy

myText = app.selection[0].parentStory;
myString = myText.contents;
app.myfindPreferences = null;
app.mychangePreferences = null;

//There are 2 instances of "�" in the selected text frame

myPound = myString.search("�"); //When I get result of myPound in console, I only get "11" (the character position of the first "�")

//Also, "typeof mypound returns "number". Shouldn't this be an array?

myPoundCount = myPound.length; //When I get result of myPoundCount in console, I get "undefined"

//this next section does diddly squat! I guess because myPoundCount in undefined.

for (i=myPoundCount; i>0; i--)
         {
         myResult = myString.indexOf("�",i)

	myLine = myResult.parentLine;

	if (myLine.search("*^t") == true)
                 {
                 myLine.search("*^t", false, false, "*t",{appliedParagraphStyle:"Body Text right indent"},{appliedParagraphStyle:"Goerge Kidner body text"});
                 }
         }
