Apple

Hi there,

Please can someone clarify this for me. I’ve been doing some automation with Quark that involves the search/ replacing of text.

On the whole eveything has worked fine until I started another project the other day.

This project involves several text replacements on the same page of what will be a multi-page document. Everything started ok however now I’ve hit a slight snag in that I’m now getting the following error:-

QuarkXpress got an error: Can’t set contents of every line of document whose it = “xxx” to “yyy”

I’ve had a read through my Shirley Hopkins book to try and ascertain whether or not I need to search a ‘line’, ‘paragraph’ or ‘story’ but having tried a few variations this hasn’t helped.

The trimmed down search looks like this:-

tell application "QuarkXPress"

activate

tell front document

set (contents of text of every story where it = "test") to "replaced"

end tell

Please can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Nick
