Hi Oakley,
maybe this will point you in the right direction:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell text box 1
tell text 1
set refList to object reference of every text
whose contents is "x"
return refList
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Peter
PETER THIS WORKS GREAT !
THANKS
------------------------------------------------------
I modified it a bit to test to see if all code numbers
were actually what they were suppose to be.
Following is my rewrite:
property refList : {}
property refList2 : {}
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell text box 50
tell text 1
set refList to object reference of every text
whose contents is "#102"
set refList2 to object reference of every text
whose contents is "#"
--return refList
set CountItems to count of items in refList
set CountItems2 to count of items in refList2
return CountItems & CountItems2
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This works really well. Which brings up another
question
How do I get it to test the whole document without
checking each individual box? I tried but failed to
get the correct syntax for it.
Thanks
Oakley
