Illustrator script

[Mike36325056blm4]

Hi everyone, could someone help me create a basic script for Adobe Illustrator (which I'll expand on later for my own needs) for text replacement? Something like this:

Find: character "a" in "Minion Pro Regular" Replace with: "b" in "Times New Roman Regular"

Thank you very much!

Have you already created some code that may be used as the basis for improvements? If so, you could share it here for inspection.

Or are you looking for some raw version as a starting point for your own efforts?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I am looking for some raw version as a starting point that do this find/replace:
Find: character "a" in "Minion Pro Regular" Replace with: "b" in "Times New Roman Regular"

A sort of FindChangebyList used in InDesign.

Mark (m1b) recently posted a basic Find/Replace script that may serve as a starting point.

Finding specific fonts or character styles is not incorporated yet, but it could be implemented.

Thanks @Kurt Gold just letting you know that I would like to improve my script to be able to do what you ask @Mike36325056blm4 but I am a bit overloaded with work at the moment. Stay tuned if you can wait. I will post on this thread and put a note on that other thread.
