Find a text box using note and format text within?

Explorer ,
Feb 27, 2018 Feb 27, 2018

Hello, I must do a repetitive task and think scripting will help me. I need to find pageItems by their "note" and then format the text within both generically (text by case sensitivity) and specifically (words by font weight). Please see the attached screen capture. I work in Illustrator CC 2018. I'd prefer to control the font through the script as opposed to applying character styles, if possible. At some point I may need to control the font size and leading through this script as well. I tried to use the code snippets from "Select Note and apply Style but was unsuccessful in my attempts. I would rather not use a prompt, in my case the notes are static as are the words which need formatting.

subieguy2 Thanks for looking into this. I'd like to upload an example file, but .ai and .zip files are forbidden in this forum. Am I missing something?

I upload a file to my google drive and then upload a link within my post. So you could use google drive, drop box, or something similar.

Sorry for the untimely response, I got sidetracked with work : )

I uploaded a sample file for you, were you able to retrieve and examine it?
