Hi Ole,

What you said is correct. I am creating the character style but it is not inside the style group. Then finding those characters and apply character style for it. Unfortunately the find & change process defined as a function, then only it doesn't run properly. Now below script is working fine.

===============
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
with(app.activeDocument){
myNewCharStyle = characterStyles.add();
with(myNewCharStyle){
name= "x"
fontStyle = "Roman"
}}

app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^>";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle;
//Add a line to perform the change:
app.documents.item(0).changeText();
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^m";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle;
//Add a line to perform the change:
app.documents.item(0).changeText();

==============

Thanks for your kind support.

Regards
Thiyagu
