[JS] MIDDLE DOT

[Liphou]

Hello,

I do a test on the first character but I can not put the right code to "MIDDLE DOT" the \ u00B7 not funzione code.

                         if ( mesPara.characters[0].contents == 1396862068 || mesPara.characters[0].contents == '\u00B7' && leStyleOK == false) {// if Niv 02.2

                              // routine

                               mesPara.characters[0].contents = '\u25CF';

                         }





Someone an idea thank you

Hi Philippe,

I tried something like this with a minimal code like this and it worked:

var myUnicodeString = "\u00B7";
var myNewUnicodeString = "\u25CF";

//Text frame selected:
var myText = app.selection[0];
var myParagraphs = myText.paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();

for(var n=0;n<myParagraphs.length;n++){

    if(myParagraphs.characters[0].contents === myUnicodeString){
        myParagraphs.characters[0].contents = myNewUnicodeString;
        };

    };

Before running the snippet (the left text frame), after running the snippet (the right text frame):

Font: Mistral Regular

Tested with InDesign CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.

Maybe we need the whole picture code wise with some explanations on how your document is built and how your paragraph style and character style is built? Used fonts?
