    I’m sorry for my bad english. I have a question, I want to change the tab stops on the selected line to A) B) C) D) E), but if there are any graphics on this line, java code will delete this graphic. Thank you for every recommendation

    The script I created from the code I found

    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; // now empty the find what field!!! that’s important!!!
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; // empties the change to field!!! that’s important!!!

    // some settings
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;

    var greps = [
    {“findWhat”:”^.”,”changeTo”:”A) $0″},
    {“findWhat”:”(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0B) “},
    {“findWhat”:”.+?(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0C) “},
    {“findWhat”:”.+?.+?(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0D) “},
    {“findWhat”:”.+?.+?.+?(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0E) “},

    ]

    // loop thru the greps object
    for(var i = 0;i < greps.length;i++){
    // this is like entering the find what text in the UI
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = greps[i].findWhat;

    // this is like entering text in the change to
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = greps[i].changeTo;
    // and now hit the button
    app.selection[0].changeGrep();

    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; // now empty the find what field!!! that’s important!!!
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; // empties the change to field!!! that’s important!!!

    for example
    line included

    1 2 3 4 5

    script change this line

    A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5

    To remove anchored objects, look for ~a and replace with nothing.

    Thank you very much for your advice Mr Peter Kahrel,
    but I think I misrepresented the problem
    I don’t want to delete anchored objects
    I want to save anchored objects when replacing :)

    Small correction! Take this one!

    —— Script ———————————————-

    var mySel = app.selection[0];

    mySel.insertionPoints[0].contents = “A) “;

    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;

    var myGreps = [
    {“findWhat”:”t(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0B) “},
    {“findWhat”:”t.+?Kt(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0C) “},
    {“findWhat”:”t.+?t.+?Kt(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0D) “},
    {“findWhat”:”t.+?t.+?t.+?Kt(?=.*$)”,”changeTo”:”$0E) “}
    ],
    G = myGreps.length, g;

    for ( g = 0; g < G; g++ ) {
    var myGrep = myGreps[g];
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = myGrep.findWhat;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = myGrep.changeTo;
    mySel.changeGrep();
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    }
