hallo,
I am new and a Scripting beginner. I tried find+change "-" -> "--" 
between numbers by the following script:

app.findPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changePreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
var txt = '';
for( i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.stories.length; i++ )
     txt = txt + app.activeDocument.stories[i].contents + ' ';
var re = /[0-9]-[0-9]/g;
var SearchTextArray = txt.match( re );
for( i = 0; i < SearchTextArray.length; i++ )
app.activeDocument.search( SearchTextArray[i], false, false, 
SearchTextArray[i].replace(/-/g,'^=') );

the script find and changes all "-" in the main text, but does not in 
the footnotes.

How to manage the find+search within maintext and footnotes???

Thanks for help.
Klaus
