I am working with ID 2.0.2, Windows, and have been trying to find a simple (I would think) script that would search a story for graphic file names (such as <<65465.eps>>) and replace them with the file being referred to (as an inline graphic), preferably with the capability of setting the folder to search for the files in prior to running the script, and skipping any missing files.

We previously had a PageMaker script that accomplished this, but I haven't been able to devote the time to learning the new language since we switched to ID. Any help is much appreciated.
