Hello - hopefully someone can help as I'm now stuck on this. It
regards InDesign CS5. I want to be able to find a specific string of
words within a text frame, though I want to be able to do this without
using the Find Text Preferences approach.
I can get it to work if i am just finding one word, but if there is
more than one word it doesn't work.
For example this works (given a text frame with text in that contains
the word Example):
tell application "Adobe Indesign CS5"
tell active document
set mybox to selected
tell mybox
set myfind to object reference of every word whose contents = "Example"
end tell
end tell
end tell
However the same does not work (searching for "The Example", which is
two words)
tell application "Adobe Indesign CS5"
tell active document
set mybox to selected
tell mybox
set myfind to object reference of every word whose contents = "The
Example"
end tell
end tell
end tell
What i can't figure out is the correct phrasing for finding a string
of words, i guess i should not be looking for the object reference of
WORD, but nothing else i've tried seems to work. Many thanks for any
help
