[win][js][cs4]find/change paragraph styles without losing local overrides

hi guys need little here.

 

i created javascript find , replace doc file paragraph styles indesign paragraph styles. works fine problem when applies paragraph styles loses local overrides. tried:

changetext(false);

but not working there kind of conditional parameter can put in changetext() function wont clear local overrides?

 

thanks.

use findgrep() (or findtext()) instead of changetext(). returns array of found items. can loop through array , apply paragraph style without clearing overrides (the 2nd parameter should false).

 

example:

main();  function main() {     var founditem;         var doc = app.activedocument;      app.findgreppreferences = app.changegreppreferences = nothingenum.nothing;          app.findgreppreferences.findwhat = ".+";     app.findgreppreferences.appliedparagraphstyle = "body text";          var founditems = doc.findgrep();          (var = 0; < founditems.length; i++) {         founditem = founditems[i];         founditem.applyparagraphstyle(doc.paragraphstyles.item("body"), false);     }      app.findgreppreferences = app.changegreppreferences = nothingenum.nothing; }
