InDesign is crushing when trying to execute the following script..

[mrinmoy1984]

changeToArrow();

function changeToArrow(){
replaceText('_MID_ROW_UP','@#!','<25B2>');
replaceText('_MID_ROW_NoChange','#@!','—');
replaceText('_MID_ROW_DOWN','!#@','<25BC>');
}

function replaceText(a_char_style,a_find_what,a_change_to){
app.findChangeTextOptions = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle =  document.characterStyles.item(a_char_style);//_MID_ROW_DOWN

app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = a_find_what;//down-arrow(!#@)

app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo =a_change_to;//<25BC>

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
var results = app.changeText(false);//In this line InDesign is cushing..
}

Any one know the reason behind it?

The error is probably a few lines earlier:

app.findChangeTextOptions = NothingEnum.nothing;

You can't set options to zero, you have to set them to true or false, as in

app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = true;

Hi Peter,

I have changed the code according to you. But it didn't work.

Thanks,
