Hi, I tried to help someone on a french forum as he was trying to use FindChangeByList.jsx I first told him to simply add lines in the txt file like it was indicated as grep... But he didn't get the result he wanted, then I tried myself and get lost. Because, I wasn't getting any result too. The most bizzare is that sometimes modifications are made but other times neither the UI, nor the script find text where they should. for example : let's say "a" character is not found when there is plenty of it in the text. app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat ="a"; > retuns none; The UI find/change dialog warns for no occurences in the document. I saw Olav advising to download the latest version of the script. I have downloaded a bunch of script "indesign_scripting_guide_scripts". Inside I found findgrep.jsx or findtxt.jsx or even changetext.jsx. But no findchangebylist.jsx. What am I doing wrong ? Regards, Loic
