Re: FrameScript--applying character tag to range of text

["Rick Quatro" <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

First of all, I would suggest that you subscribe to the framescript-users
group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/framescript-users.

Here is a script that will get you started. This will only work with
FrameScript 2 and FrameMaker 6.

// Set variables for old name and new name.
Set OldName = 'Emphasis';
Set NewName = 'Italic'
// Make sure the NewName character format exists.
Get Object Type(CharFmt) Name(NewName)
  NewVar(vCharFmt);
If vCharFmt = 0
  MsgBox NewName + ' does not exist in this document.    ';
  LeaveSub; // Exit the script.
EndIf
// Find the OldName character format.
Find FromTextLoc(MainFlowInDoc) CharTag(OldName)
  ReturnRange(vRange) ReturnStatus(vStatus) NoWrap;
Loop While(vStatus = 1) // No quotes around the one.
  // Apply the new character format.
  Apply TextProperties TextRange(vRange)
    Properties(vCharFmt.Properties);
  // Find the next occurrence.
  Find FromTextLoc(vRange.End) CharTag(OldName)
    ReturnRange(vRange) ReturnStatus(vStatus) NoWrap;
EndLoop
