Converting Pounds Prices to Euro Prices

Hi,

Have trouble finding any help on how to convert prices in pounds to euros, has anyone done this before or give me any clues.

I have a text box in a Quark XPress document that contains several prices in pounds sterling.

I would like to write a script that will look for those prices and convert them into euros.

I have managed to search the text box and change the '£' symbol to '€' with the following script:

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell front document
tell every text box of page 1
if (exists (every text where it is (ASCII character 163))) of every text then
set (every text where it is (ASCII character 163)) to (ASCII character 219)
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell


Any help with be gratefully received.

Cheers
