Need help applying markers through document

I am working on a script to search through a document and add gotolink markers to specific text.

For example, in this text,  "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing F1, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim F2 minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip T1 ea commodo consequat," F1, F2 and T1 have the character tag "Link" and need the gotolink marker applied. The word "quis" is also a link, but should be skipped as it is not what we are looking for.

Thanks to script I've found and help I've received here, I've got a good start, but now I'm stuck. The script loops through and finds all the text with the character tag "link." However, it only read the text and applies the gotolink marker to the first instance. In the example above, If there are three instances of text with the "link" character tag, it will apply  "gotolink  f1" three times to the first instance.

This is what I want the script to do.

1. Loop through text and find all tagged "Link"

2. Go to the first instance. If there's already a gotolink marker, skip and go to the next. I'm not sure where to do this.

3. If there is not a gotolink marker, select the text range.

4. Read the text.

5. If the text is the right kind (regex), create a marker.

6. Go to the next one. I can't get it to read/apply marker to subsequent links.

Code is below. I am using Framemaker 19.

Thank you for your help!
