Hi to all,
I need to replace the word "LIBRARYNAME" in my quark
document to the name of items in the library I
created.
The script must replace not one replace string.
example "LIBRARYNAME" will be replaced to "FG01" after
replacing the first word ("LIBRARYNAME") in the next
replace is "FG02" and soon, depending on how many
occurrences, if "LIBRARYNAME" occurred 22 time the
last replacement text is "FG22".
I'm trying to use counter but my counter doesn't work.
I suspect the my problem is around here:
set (every text of stories where it is search_string)
to replace_string
--------
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set FigName to "FG0"
tell document 1
try
set LibName to every text of every story
where it is "LIBRARYNAME" as list
end try
set ctr to 1
repeat with i from 1 to the number of items in
LibName
set search_string to item i of LibName
set replace_string to FigName & ctr as
string
try
set (every text of stories where it is
search_string) to replace_string
set ctr to ctr + 1
end try
end repeat
end tell
end tell
TIA
Regards
elmer
