      Hello All,

      I have to Find a certain character and replace with some other character. But, I have to replace the same, before two characters. I am giving the Find and Replace pattern below.

      Text = “Hello World!”
      Find = “o”
      Replace with = “X”

      Result after Replacing = “HelXl oWrld!”

      Here, “o” is replaced with “X”, but the position of “X” is not the same as “o”. “X” is “taken” one character before.

      How to write a script for this?

      That is strange. Find-Replace with InDesign CC 14.01 gets me HellX WXrld.
