I'm looking for a solution to renumber strings in InDesign stories.
Each string has the same character style (and no other strings have
it) and typically consists of 1, 2 or 3 digit numbers, sometimes with
a letter. I want to find the first string, replace it by 1, find the
next, replace it by the last figure plus 1, and so on through to the
end of the story.
You first need to write a GREP search to find the digits and
letters. When
you run that from a script as a find, it will return references to
all of
them, which you can loop through (from last to first) setting their
contents
to the appropriate number.
The only way I can find the digits and letters is by character style,
and that I don't know how to do in AS. I'd be glad to pay a few
dollars, or even euros, for a solution to this problem.
