Using my limited knowledge, and a great deal of help, here is a draft of what I want to achieve.
I had a quick look at that page Dave, and i will study it tonight when i am not at work.
I know there is a lot wrong with this script, not least the line to get the index!!!!!
myIndex = app.selection[0].parentStory.search.index("�");
myLength=myIndex.length();
for (i=1, i=myLength , i++)
{
myline = myIndex[i].parentLine();
if (myline.search("1TAB")) == true
{
myline.search("�", false, false, "�",{appliedParagraphStyle:"right indent"},{appliedParagraphStyle:"body text"});
}
else();
}
1) What i need to do is work on text that has a right indent already set (Style sheet:right indent),
2) Make a list/index/reference to all the "�" signs
3) work on the line of text containing the "�", looking for a string "1TAB"
4) If that is found, I need to apply a style sheet that takes off the right indent.
dont laugh, any ideas?
