Script to map xml tags to para styles

[seb400]

I am using the 'FindChangeByList.jsx' to format a series of text files.

I realise that I can map tags to styles using the 'Tags" palette.

But I wondered, if it is possible, if someone would be able to show me the syntax to include in my list (.txt file) to map xml tags to paragraph styles assigned in the list as it runs the script?

You can try Adobe Sample script MapTagsToStyles.jsx

See attached.

Thanks Shonky - your answer reminded me that I'd actually asked the wrong question. What I need is not a script but a text or GREP find/change method to assign tags to paragraph styles - sorry for that. I've been trying to reply for a couple of days but this forum seems a bit flaky at the moment for me.

If you want through find and change here below is a function for apply tag on paragraph style

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

addtags("A Head", "Head");

addtags("Text", "P");

function addtags(stylename, tag)

{

if(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item(stylename) != null)

{

app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '.+';

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = stylename;

app.changeGrepPreferences.markupTag = tag;

myDoc.changeGrep();

app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

}

}
