Hi

I need a script to find then make and apply a character style to the found text.

what it should find:

\{.+?\}

Note:

The text font will be different from one another in every single match, so the character style must have the font info, if there are 100 matches that will be 100 character style.

Thanks.

Check out the following discussion, it has code sample that you can use to start

I've checked it, it's good on its own but it's not what I'm looking for, I need the script to make a character style based on the found text and then apply it to the same text.

Can you post example screen shot ?

Are you trying to create previews of installed fonts ?

Here's a video to explain it better, and a sample file to test it.
