Hi,
I changed my current version in the meantime a bit, since the counter did show the wrong results, if you start the script a second time.
// Your settings
// ---
var SEARCH_PATTERN = '2013';
var CHANGE_PATTERN = '2014';
// Set SEARCH
// ---
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = true;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = SEARCH_PATTERN;
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = CHANGE_PATTERN;
// Variables
// ---
var allDocs = app.documents,
nDocs = allDocs.length, nFounds = [], counter = 0;
// SEARCH ONLY MASTERPAGES IN ALL OPEN DOCS
// ---
for ( var i = 0; i < nDocs; i++ ) { var curDoc = app.documents[i], target = curDoc.masterSpreads.everyItem().pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem(); var allFounds = target.changeText(); for (var n = 0; n < allFounds.length; n ++) { var curFound = allFounds[n]; if (curFound.length != 0) { counter += curFound.length; } }
}
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
alert( counter + " expressions have been changed." );
Teetan, I have no idea what you try to do with your second script. Please provide clear steps (1,2,3) and maybe a screenshot before / after.
And: Realize that 'undo' is available only per document. So if you have 20 docs open, you must undo in every document, even if we spent a doScript-Function!
