Well I did run your code without changing anything else than the quarkname at line 1, but I got an error after the 24th iteration in the first repeat loop saying "can't make item 25 into a string. Probably since charStyle returns 24 and the loop (which uses count of theText returns 40 items) wants to continue....see the problem here?
I'll be glad to test again if you want to give it another try.
If I'll get the time I'll play some more with your code this afternoon, after all, we might have both missed out on something here and I beleive your code is interesting and will definately do some more tests.
Kind regards
Goran Ehn

Yes, something like this, however this does not work either

Did you actually run the script I posted? It *does* work.

since the count of parStyles returns 19 on my test text and the charStyles
returns 24 and theText returns 40, therefore its not possible to gather them
together in a repeat loop.

Stop counting and run the code! The number of character styles must match
the number of items of text (it didn't with your code because you had an
unnecessary "of every paragraph" in there). Try copying and pasting my code
exactly.

And the number of paragraph styles doesn't have to match because that's a
separate loop, and in that loop we break the text into paragraphs rather
than text style ranges -- one paragraph, one style sheet.
