    Hello all,

    This is my first post, so be gentle! :)
    So far I’ve created a paragraph style and a character style in my script.
    Then I searched for a way to apply the character style onto the the paragraph style within the “grep style” option and then apply a specific grep.
    Sadly I haven’t been able to find any examples and the scripting guide doesn’t show how either.

    app.activeDocument.characterStyles.add({name:”Character – No Break”, noBreak: true})
    app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.add({name:”Paragraph – No Break”})

    This is where im at now, hope you guys can help.

    Something like this:

    pstyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.add({name:"Paragraph – No Break"});
    pstyle.nestedGrepStyles.add ({
      appliedCharacterStyle: app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item('Character – No Break'),
      grepExpression: '. . .'
    });

    It doesn’t work either and thats not what im really trying to do.

    This is what im trying:
    Paragraph Style Option > GREP style > Apply my character style > then write my own grep

    In what way does that code not work? Works fine for me.

    Explain in some more detail what you want to do, because clearly I don’t understand it. You have a character style and a paragraph style. And you want to set up a Grep style in the paragraph style using that character style. Correct?

    It works perfectly dude! Just me who failed to implement it properly into my own lines of code!
    Thank you so much :)
