Thanks Vandy for your reply,

but your script replace all anchored images, even if they are different images,

i would like to change each image by a different character,

and the find and replace ou grep search (â or ~a) find all anchored images,

i can't find the one i want...

Only you know which one you want. How do you intend to communicate that to the script?

Or perhaps I should ask: which character goes with which image? You can use a search to find them all and then cycle through them with a for-loop to replace each individually.

How much help do you need? Have you written scripts yourself or are you looking for someone to write one for you?

Yes, I did.

But it doesn't work.

Could you select a paragraph that includes a character to which you have applied this character style you created, export that to tagged text and then post that tagged text here?

Thanks,

Dave

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '~a'; //finding image

app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = 'image1'; //replacing with text

app.activeDocument.changeGrep();

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
