    I've been trying to use the find change script to format all text in a block to a paragraph style in a folder, but the script keeps changing it to the paragraph style of the same name that isn't in a subfolder.

    so my paragraph styles panel looks like this:

    Folder:Catalog Styles

    body copy

    color/size

    price line

    body copy

    (etc)

    and here is the grep query I've been trying to apply, the bolded part is what doesn't seem to be working, is there a different way of expressing folders in the paragraph styles panel?

    grep {findWhat:”^.”} {changeTo:”$0″, appliedParagraphStyle:”body copy (Catalog Styles)“, changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Comment

    found a solution at the adobe forums, just thought i'd share it so this thread has an answer too

    changed this: appliedParagraphStyle:”body copy (Catalog Styles)“

    to this: appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Catalog Styles”). paragraphStyles.item(“body copy”)

    worked like a charm

    You are the master of the find/change script! I saw your post about pointing to a network, too. Any other tricks? Have you written these all down somewhere? (and where/how did you figure out the Conditional Text one)?

    I've been pretty bad about writing anything down about it, but off the top of my head, using kasyan's script that I've linked to below to build the queries more easily

    By conditional text do you mean this part?

    changeConditionsMode:1919250519

    that is actually just automatically added to the query line in a script I use to build my find/change lists.

    That script was written by Kasyan and is actually on your site https://creativepro.com/find-change-scripting-goodness.php

    Also from Kasyan over on the adobe forums:

    changeConditionsMode – The change conditions mode, change either replaces applied conditions or adds to applied conditions.

    Can be:

    ChangeConditionsModes.ADD_TO Change adds to applied conditions. ChangeConditionsModes.REPLACE_WITH Change replaces applied conditions. (The same as changeConditionsMode:1919250519)

    or

    ChangeConditionsModes.NothingEnum.NOTHING
