Roy,

Do a google search on javascript indesign tutorial
The first couple of things Google finds look promising, but I think you'd be better off buying an introductory book and study that.

As to the debugger, if it says "myText.search().length is not a function", that means that, well, you're doing something wrong. It should be something like this:

found = myText.search("�");
number_of_pounds = found.length;

found is an array with all the objects that consist of the character "�".

Before you attempt to solve the rest of your programming problem, learn Javascript syntax.

Peter
