MemberThis works for me:
grep tab {findWhat:”\d+”, position:Position.SUPERSCRIPT} tab {appliedCharacterStyle:”Superscript”}
MemberA few days ago I wrote a similar script.

Try to add this line:
app.findChangeObjectOptions.objectType = ObjectTypes.GRAPHIC_FRAMES_TYPE;
It corresponds to the “Type: Graphic Frame” option in the “Object” tab of the “Fing/Change” dialog box. Most probably it is set to a wrong type e.g. “Text Frame” at the moment and the script finds nothing.
Hope this helps.

https://download.macromedia.com…..in_001.zip (Windows)
https://download.macromedia.com…..ac_001.dmg (Mac)
It contains several working examples of sending bridgetalk from Bridge to InDesign, Photoshop, etc (the same approach works for all applications). They are quite simple and well commented so this is a good starting point for you.
Here is another (simple) example: https://kasyan.ho.com.ua/bridge…..bject.html
You can find more examples with detailed explanations on adobe scripting forum.
Here is another example: a simple resize images script: kasyan.ho.com.ua/downloads/simple_resize_script.zip

November 5, 2011 at 4:02 am in reply to: How access both InDesign and Photoshop in one script? #61003MemberI wrote a number of such scripts. A few of them you can find on my site. For example, Resize images for Power Switch and Resize images.
– can I call a Photoshop action from the InDesign script?
Yes, you can. Here's an example. It displays available in Photoshop sets and the actions for each set in the dialog box and calls the selected action in line #205:
if (eval(myRunAction) == true) app.doAction(myAction, mySet);
Hope this helps.
KasyanMemberHere I posted some links that might be useful for baby-scripters. I started scripting in 2004. Before I had nothing to do to programming. I tried all the three scripting languages: Visual Basic, Apple Script and JavaScript. In my opinion, the best choice is JavaScript — it's cross-platform, and you can find more support on scripting forums because it's the most popular. Though knowing other languages helps me a lot too.
In conclusion, I want to say an important thing: absolutely everybody can write scripts — just invest some time and effort into learning and you'll get your investment back hundredfold.
Regards,
KasyanMemberHere is an example:
text tab {findWhat:””, bulletsAndNumberingListType:ListType.BULLET_LIST}tab {changeTo:””, appliedParagraphStyle:”Paragraph Style 1″}tab … and so on…
Tested in CS5.5 for Windows.
MemberHi Bill,
I just checked the InDesign CS2 Scripting Reference and yes, theoretically it should work. However, I can't check this in practice — don't have CS2 any more.
Regards,
KasyanMemberThanks, Jongware.
Before I tried to use pre-tags to enclose code in HTML editor, but this had no effect. Now I see that I should use code-tag inside pre-tag.
MemberJongware, how did you post the code with the 'Select code' button?
MemberThe forum software spoils the code: before the closing parentheses it replaced inch marks with quotes. If you change them back to parentheses, it should work. Here I posted the script to avoid problems with coping and pasting to/from the forum.
