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
end tell
Try this:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
set contents of every text of every story where it = "xxx" to "ZZZ"
end tell
end tell
Peter
