Ole:

I'm studying your script and its giving me pretty much what I need (thank you). I'm having trouble understanding the search command, however.

On my own I wrote a quickie script that looked like this

...
tell text frame 1
set mystory to parent story
tell mystory
set myresult to search true for "XYZ"
return myresult
end tell
end tell
...

in the results window I got this:

text from character 11 to 14 of story id 132 of document "ABC" of application "InDesign"

In your script you seem to pull coordinates out of the search results with lines like this:

set mystartindex to (index of character -1 of mystartitem) + 1
set myendindex to (index of character 1 of myenditem) - 1

I'm having trouble making the transition from those statements to actual range values I can use in a script. Can you please help? If the search command is explained in detail somewhere else, I would be happy to look at it if you will point me to it.
