🚀 go-pugleaf

Thanks again!

I am nearly there with this script. There is one odd line that doesn't seem to work, although the syntax looks ok, and worked on other parts. I have put a remark before the offending line, near the end.
As i said, i am getting a lot more comfortable with JS now, as this sort of Search and place threw up problems in AS.

SCRIPT:-

if (app.selection.length !=0)
{
if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "TextFrame")
{
myChange();
}
else
{
alert ("The selected item must be the text frame");
}
}
else
{
alert ("Please select a text box to work with");
}

function myChange()
{
alert ("This will format the catalogue");



//myHeading = app.document.paragraphStyles.item("Kidner Headings")
//myBody = app.document.paragraphStyles.item("George Kidner body Text")
myStory=app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findPreferences = null;
app.changePreferences = null;
myStory.search("Lot No^tVAT^tDescription^tEstimate^p001", false, false, "1");
myStory.search("^tM^t", false, false, "^t");
myStory.search("^p00", false, false, "^p");
myStory.search("^p0", false, false, "^p");
myStory.search(".^t", false, false, ".^t�");
myStory.search(". (", false, false, " (");
myStory.search(")^t", false, false, ").^t�");
myStory.search("��", false, false, "�");

//Sort out headings
myStory.search("^p^t^t^p", false, false, "^p^p~");
myStory.search("~", false, false, "~",{appliedParagraphStyle:"George Kidner body text"},{appliedParagraphStyle:"Kidner Headings"});

//The next line does nothing. It found the ~ character in the line above, but doesn't seem to find the one below

myStory.search("~", false, false, "~");
alert ("Finnished. You now have to check the line endings etc.");
}

Cheers
