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!

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.

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.
