InDesign Scripts for Changing Currency

Hi all, I have a catalogue of products of which I have a script to convert to other currencies.

I have prices for both RRP and TRADE.

 

The RRP price I need to round up to the nearest whole number.

The TRADE I need to leave with 2 decimal places.

 

For example:

RRP: £8.00

TRADE: £3.25

 

My polish conversion rate is x 5.7 which gives me:

RRP: 45.60zł  - (My script is converting to 46zł which is correct.)

TRADE: 18.53zł  - (This is correct with the decimal places.)

 

I add in the zł by finding and replacing the £

 

My question is, is there a script that will accommodate both of these price conversions?

At the moment I can only do one or the other.

 

Apologies if my explanation isn't clear

I think I know what's wrong. The pound symbol is outside the character style so you should set the currency symbol to None.

Hi @DanielAustinCarat, Let's ask the author @Peter Kahrel. Maybe the script could be pre-configured to do multiple conversions, by-passing the UI?
