Hello all,
I am new to apple scripting and have set myself the goal to learn at least the basics fefore the year ends.
There is one thing that i find cumbersome when using the ID book feature: when I want to search and replace in the book contents, I have to open all parts and perform the search in each (I would call this a repetitive action).
Now, since apple script is supposed to automate things for me, I was thinking that it would be possible to write a script that would open all book parts, open the search window, perform the search in all parts and bring the part that includes the searched term to the front.
So, before I start out on a path that might be impossible, I would like to ask you Scripting-gurus your opinion on this specific issue and maybe, hey holiday season... ;-), some hint to where I might start.
Thank you,
Rufus
