I have got a textfile containing various bullets and/or numberings. I don't know what options are used, but I need to format these lists with indents.

So i use the following script:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set find preferences to nothing
	set change preferences to nothing
	tell active document
		set myFoundItems to search with find attributes {find text:"^p^?^t"}
	end tell
end tell

In the list of 14 paragraphs, all starting with a bullet (�) and a tab I get the result of 7 items. The first one is found, the third one, the fifth one, etc.

When replacing the "^?" with "�" I do get 14 items found...

What am I doing wrong????

Any help is welcome... MORE then welcome...

Warm regards,

Ton Kuypers
