Hi All.
I had an applescript that was working in Indesign 2015, however, I’ve returned to use it with Indesign 2018 and it keeps intermittently failing.
The script would set find / change values, search the doc and return the text found, I would then use this text to form the file name for saving.
[applescript]
tell application “Adobe InDesign CC 2015”
activate
set myFindGrep to “.+”
set mySelectedParaStyle to “DM Product Code Split”
set MyFoundWordsList to {}
—
—
set find what of find grep preferences to myFindGrep
set applied paragraph style of find grep preferences to mySelectedParaStyle as string
—
—
set MyFoundWords to find grep
—
—
repeat with i from 1 to count MyFoundWords
set MyFoundWordsList to MyFoundWordsList & item i of MyFoundWords
end repeat
—
set lastInList to count MyFoundWordsList
set mySave to (myDesktopJobFolderPath & (item lastInList of MyFoundWordsList) & “.indd”)
end tell
[/applescript]
I’m getting a couple of different errors on the line…
[applescript]
set MyFoundWordsList to MyFoundWordsList & item i of MyFoundWords
[/applescript]
Error 1:
[i]Can’t make text from character 1 to character 8 of story id 332 of document id 603 of application “Adobe InDesign CC 2018” into type vector.[/i]
Error 2:
[i]Can’t make text from character 1 to character 6 of story id 331 of document id 611 of application “Adobe InDesign CC 2018” into type vector.[/i]
The text it’s searching is just alpha/numeric codes, no special characters.
thanks
Shane
