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:

return styleOrGroup;
};

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.
Regards
Sami
