Hi fellow scripters,

I just wrote a script that works beautifully, finding a portion of text within a selection and replacing it with a variable. However, at the end of the script it leaves the new text selected. Is there a way to deselect this and leave the cursor at the end of the new text? I tried to use SelectionOptions.REMOVE_FROM but it gives me an error stating that 'Remove from Selection' option not supported for this object type. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Len Swierski

You place the cursor somewhere by selecting that insertion point. It could be something like this: 

      app.selection[0].insertionPoints[-1].select()




To get the cursor at the end of your selection and deselect whatever was selected. To leave the cursor at the beginning of whatever was selected, use [0] instead of [-1].
