Select text with character style applied.

Question

Hello everybody...I need some help with this problem.I've got a text spotted here and there with Jewish words. As you certainly know, it could happen that you need to "flip" Jewish words (as arabic ones and so on...) because the correct writing sense is from right to left.The usual script used is ReverseText, but you need to select each Word and then run the script.Instead, I'd like to select every instance of the Character Style JEWISHWORD I assigned...What I'd have to put before the reverse command?  JEWISHREVERSE = app.selection[0].contents;JEWISHREVERSE = JEWISHREVERSE.split("").reverse().join("");app.selection[0].contents = JEWISHREVERSE; Thank you so much.Val.

A search, perhaps.app.findTextPreferences = null;app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "JEWISHWORD";result = app.activeDocument.findText();while (result.length){ str=result.pop(); JEWISHREVERSE = str.contents; JEWISHREVERSE = JEWISHREVERSE.split("").reverse().join(""); str.contents = JEWISHREVERSE;}Off the top of my head & untested, so it might not work right away.(OT: "Jewish" is a faith. You are referring here to the script, which is named the same as the only language I know that uses it: "Hebrew" (as in "The Hebrew language is usually written in the Hebrew script").)
