Hi,

     We can add XML Elements using Find and Replace palette.  Can we add with attribute name and values while adding the xml elements?? If not can capture the element which added using changeText for each occurrence to add attributes??

    

app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;;                        

app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "emph";

app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "emph";

app.changeTextPreferences.markupTag = "emphasis";          // Add xml Tag

var res1 = app.activeDocuemnt.findText();

if(res1.length > 0)

{

     app.activeDocument.changeText()

}

Correct answer Chinnadk

Try this,

var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "emph";
app.changeTextPreferences.markupTag = "emph"; 
var res1 = doc.findText();
if(res1.length > 0)
{
        for(var i=0;i<res1.length;i++)
        {
                res1.changeText();
                res1.findText()[0].insertionPoints[0].associatedXMLElements[0].xmlAttributes.add("name","value");
            }
    }
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

Hi,

          Thank you... Its working...

          when i am finding contents ' (single quote) in find palette sometimes its returing ' (quote as symbol) but in sometimes its retuning STRAIGHT_SINGLE_QUOTE.  How to find this character in document?

     When quote is with other characters its returning contents correctly (as symbol) but when it comes alone and sometimes its returning STRAIGHT_SINGLE_QUOTE or corresponding number for quote. I am assigning selection contents to find. How can i find the single and double quote when find using selection contents?

        app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

        app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = cstyle;

        app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = sel.contents;

        app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = cstyle;

        app.changeTextPreferences.markupTag = tagName;

       

        var res1 = sel.findText();

       

        if(res1.length > 0)

        {

            for(var rCnt1 = 0; rCnt1 < res1.length; rCnt1++)

            {

               var cResult = res1[rCnt1];

               cResult.changeText();

                cResult.findText()[0].insertionPoints[0].associatedXMLElements[0].xmlAttributes.add('name','value');

            }

       }

     app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
