Ok, so I had this really clever idea that I could store my find and change preferences in a file and load them when I needed. Fine, I get the find preferences and manage to write them to disk, or so I thought. The problem is that I have no idea what the gibberish in the file is, let alone how to load it back again

Can someone that knows AppleScript for real explain to a cut-and-paste-scripter what's going on?



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set myFindPrefs to properties of find preferences 
	set theFile to (choose file name with prompt "Where do you want to store your Find settings") as string

	set fileRef to (open for access file (theFile) with write permission) 
	set eof fileRef to 0 
	write myFindPrefs to fileRef 
	close access fileRef 
end tell
