This morning, when I run this script I've been trying to develop, it shuts down InDesign every time. I have another script that was doing the same, but I found reference here to the problem (search/replace "^p^p" with "^p"). So, am I up against another known problem that all you old hands can tell me about, or do I need to do more troubleshooting (trash prefs, comment out various lines looking for the killer, etc.)?
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set myDocument to active document
tell myDocument
set myIngredStyle to paragraph style "Ingredients"
set myParenStyle to character style "parenthetical"
repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
tell story j
repeat with i from (count paragraphs) to 1 by -1
set myParaName to applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j
if myParaName = myIngredStyle then
try
try
set myOpenParen to index of (character 1 whose contents = "(") of paragraph i
end try
try
set myCloseParen to index of (character 1 whose contents = ")") of paragraph i
end try
end try
try
set myOpenParen to index of (character 1 whose contents = "(") of selection
set myCloseParen to index of (character 1 whose contents = ")") of selection
set applied character style of characters myOpenParen thru myCloseParen to myParenStyle
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
I was working on this script a couple of days ago (and receiving much help from Jay Fraser), but I set it aside yesterday. Unfortunately, I can't remember what sort of results I was getting last time I worked on it, or what changes I may have made since the last time it ran without crashing InDesign.
