Find and replace an unregistered opentype feature
Hi,
I am trying to make a script to find and replace the same character and applying a opentype feature.
This is not difficult using GREP and ChainGREP script.
My problem is the opentype feature I want to apply is not registered in Indesign
I am trying to use a "Character Variant" opentype feature.
This feature works if use this script:
app.selection[0].opentypeFeatures=[["cv01",1]];
but if You apply in the same text selection another Character Variant you remove the first one.
This is the reason I want a script to find and replace using this feature.
Using chainGREP script I got this:

};
This script doesn't work of course but I don't know how to fix it.
I am using Adobe Source Code Pro font (free font) to test this script.
Please, if anyone could help would be great.
