    Hi all,

    I have created a large InDesign-document with data-merge. One of the data-fields contains a lot of numbers separated by a comma (e.g. ‘2,6,17,19,26,27,28,31,32,33,36,37,39,42’). Every number should be replaced by an Illustrator-icon (e.g. ’26.ai’).

    I can do it with find and change multiple times. So, find a number and change to clipboard content. But then I have to copy every icon to the clipboard and apply the find/change-action. MFC isn’t an option because there is only one icon in the clipboard :-(

    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    @Roel & Bhadresh:
    This script may be the answer, however the filename will need @ signs before and after it:
