//FindChangeList.

txt
//A support file for the InDesign JavaScript FindChangeByList.jsx
//
//This data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records.
//
//The format of each record in the file is:
//findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptions<tab>descri
ption
//
//Where:
//<tab> is a tab character
//findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change
operation to use).
//findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences.
//changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences.
//findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options.
//description is a description of the find/change operation
//
//Very simple example:
//text {findWhat:"--"} {changeTo:"^_"} {includeFootnotes:true,
includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all
double dashes and replace with an em dash.
//
//More complex example:
//text {findWhat:"^9^9.^9^9"} {appliedCharacterStyle:"price"} {include
footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole
word:false} Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price".
//
//All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "findWhat" and "changeTo"
properties for findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences.
//
//If you enter backslashes in the findWhat property of the findGrepPreferences
object, they must be "escaped"
//as shown in the example below:
//
//{findWhat:"\\s+"}
//
