Scripting - Find and Replace

Hi,

Due to shifting of the code from old forum to the new forum, script gets corrupted. Here is teh updated version of the same script by Carlos.

// findReplace.jsx

function main() {
    var idoc, search_string, replace_string, tframes, i, tframe, new_string, counter = 0;
    for (var a = 0; a < app.documents.length; a++) {
        idoc = app.documents;
        search_string = /xxxx/gi; // g for global search, remove i to make a case sensitive search
        replace_string = "NEW YORK";
        tframes = idoc[a].textFrames;
        for (i = 0; i < tframes.length; i++) {
            tframe = tframes[i];
            new_string = tframe.contents.replace(search_string, replace_string);
            if (new_string != tframe.contents) {
                tframe.contents = new_string;
                counter++;
            }
        }
    }
    alert(counter + ' changes were made');
    donate(File($.fileName).displayName);
}

main();

function donate(thisScript) {
    var donateStrPref = 'aiscripts.com/donate/' + thisScript;
    var donated = app.preferences.getStringPreference(donateStrPref);
    if (donated != 'true') {
        var showAgain = showDonateWindow();
        if (showAgain) {
            //alert('checked');
            app.preferences.setStringPreference(donateStrPref, 'true');
        }
    }
}

function showDonateWindow() {
    var win = new Window('dialog', 'https://www.paypal.me/aiscripts');
    var lblDonate = win.add('staticText', undefined, 'Do you find the script valuable?\nDo you use the script commercially?\nPlease consider donating', { multiline: true });
    var grp = win.add('group');
    var btnCancel = grp.add('button', undefined, 'Cancel');
    var btnDonate = grp.add('button', undefined, 'Donate');
    var chk = win.add('checkbox', undefined, "Do not show me this message again");
    btnDonate.onClick = function () {
        openURL('www.paypal.me/aiscripts');
        win.close();
    }

    win.center();
    if (win.show() == 2) {
        //alert("Cancelled");
        return null;
    } else {
        return chk.value;
    }


    function openURL(address) {
        var f = File(Folder.desktop + '/aiOpenURL.url');
        f.open('w');
        f.write('[InternetShortcut]' + '\r' + 'URL=http://' + address + '\r');
        f.close();
        f.execute();
        f.remove();
    };
}

To test: 

1. Create textframe in the Illustartor with content XXXX

2. Run the script

3. Result : The old content of the textframes that matched XXXX will get replace with 'NEW YORK'.

Let us know if this works for you.
