CS3 to CC script conversion

[jingojango16999]

Hi

I have been trying to convert an old cs3 script to CC with no luck. The script finds all the phone numbers in a document and changes the space between the number blocks from normal apces to be non breaking spaces. This is the original script. I have tried to convert it in CC but just ended up making a mess. Any help?

    var random = Math.random();

    var lstrNumber = parseInt((1000 - 1 + 1) * random + 1);

    app.activeDocument.characterStyles.add({name:"NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber});

    app.findPreferences = null;

    app.changePreferences = null;

    app.findPreferences.findText = "^9 ^9";

    app.changePreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber);

    var aStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber);

    var lobjFoundItems = app.activeDocument.search("^9 ^9",false, false, undefined, {},{appliedCharacterStyle:aStyle});

    if( lobjFoundItems != null )

    {

            var lstrMessage = "Occurances found: " + lobjFoundItems.length;                     

    }

    app.findPreferences = null;

    app.changePreferences = null;

    app.findPreferences.findText = " ";   

     app.findPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = aStyle;

     app.changePreferences.changeText = "^s";

     var lobjReplacedItems = app.activeDocument.search(app.findPreferences.findText, false, false, app.changePreferences.changeText);

     app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber).remove();

    lstrMessage = lstrMessage +  " Occurances changed: " + lobjReplacedItems.length;

    alert(lstrMessage);

Hi jingo,

there is no more "search" on the document. This can now be done with findTextPreferences:

var random = Math.random();

var lstrNumber = parseInt((1000 - 1 + 1) * random + 1);

app.activeDocument.characterStyles.add({name:"NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber});

app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber);

var aStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("NonBreakingSpace_" + lstrNumber);

app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^9 ^9";

app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = aStyle;

app.activeDocument.changeText();

Thanks

Stefan

The .search() function is pre-CS3. If that script worked in CS3, it was versioned. To get it to work in CC, (re)set the versioning, using

app.scriptPreferences.version = . . .

Not sure what the version string for CS2 is.
