i have a customer that sends me data in a csv that i use a script to import the data variables into the art files to print.  issue is there is a "Register" R symbol that has to be next to the imported text.

currently i am having to go into each file  which is hundreds of files and manually move the "R" next to each text box.  is there a way to automate this action .

Another way i could do it is if there was away to have an image be attached to the right side of "text" so that when the text was imported the image would move just to the right of the "text" being imported   any thoughts on that

As @renél80416020 said, an example would help a lot here. My first question is, why not add the "®" to the text itself? Your existing script could probably be modified more easily to do this. Or, even better, use a text editor to add the symbol to the csv file before running the script.

You really need to provide Before and After example screenshots so we can see what you’re talking about.

 

That said, if you want a “®” symbol to appear at the end of the text, is there a reason your script can’t just append the Unicode character (U+00AE) to the string before it inserts it?

 

textFrame.contents = productName + "\u00AE"

 

Much, much simpler than putting it in a separate text frame which requires repositioning.
