Change doubleQuotes using javascript

Hi @israelp20923262, since you are doing scripting, have a look at this snippet:

function main() {

    // select some text, then run script

    var doc = app.activeDocument,
        text = doc.selection[0];

    if (!text.hasOwnProperty('appliedLanguage')) {
        alert('Please select some text and try again.');
        return;
    }

    var lang = doc.languages.itemByName(text.appliedLanguage.name);

    lang.doubleQuotes = "””";

}


app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, 'Set Language Quotes');

I think the key point is how you target the correct language. activeDoc.languages[0] usually means "No Language", so that might be the problem in your case. To make it streamlined, I am just using the selected text to tell us which language is applied, and change the double quotes for that language.

 Can't you use Find/Change, once for opening and once for closing quotation marks?
