Apply object style in a paragraph style

Hi,

Hope this helps!!

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle="Para";  // Change the para style name
var myFind = myDoc.findText();
for (i=0; i<myFind.length; i++) 
{ 
    
myText = app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle="Para";  // Change the para style name
     
myText.contents=myFind.contents;
myFind.parentTextFrames[0].appliedObjectStyle = myDoc.objectStyles.item("A");  // Change the Object style name
    
}  
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

Thanks,

I found a resolution to my problem !

var doc = app.activeDocument; 

var i, link, newFileLocal, newFilePDF, newFileEPS,

links = doc.links,

newPathPDF = '/way/';

newPathEPS = '/way/';

var countFileLocal = 0;

var countFilePDF = 0;

var countFileEPS = 0;

for (i = links.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {

    link = links;

    newFileLocal = new File(doc.filePath + "/Links/"+ link.name);

    newFilePDF = new File(newPathPDF + link.name);

    newFileEPS = new File(newPathEPS + link.name);

    if (newFileLocal.exists) {

        link.relink(newFileLocal);

        countFileLocal ++;

        }

    if (newFilePDF.exists) {

        link.relink(newFilePDF);

        countFilePDF ++;

        }

    if (newFileEPS.exists) {

        link.relink(newFileEPS);

        countFileEPS ++;

        }

}

Thanks.

Seems pretty straightforward:

1) Set your findText (or findGrep) preferences to catch the "abuerta" paragraph style.

2) Use the findText() or findGrep() method to get an array of all the text objects using that paragraph style.

3) Loop through that array and apply the "sombra" object style to the .parentTextFrame of each text object.  Be sure to test with two or more paragraphs using abuerta in the same text frame. Your script will apply the object style multiple times to that frame. But it's probably a nonproblem.

If all that works, then you have to think about a way to make sure the script gets run at the proper time. Maybe it's just a matter of alerting your designers to remember to do it. Or it could be hooked up to a "beforeSave" or "beforeClose" event listener.

You're probably aware that you can associate a particular paragraph style with an object style. If all of your sombra text frames  are supposed to use the abuerta style, you can make that happen when the frame is created.

Hope this helps.
