Script to convert text to foot note with "*"

Hi,

I am trying to use the following script to convert all those text which have " * " to footnotes:

var   
    myDoc = app.activeDocument,  
mStory = app.selection[0].texts[0].parentStory,  
    mEndNotes = myDoc.textFrames.add( {name:"EndNotes"} ),  
    k, len, cIP, currPara, currFoot, mMarkers;  
  
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
//---------------------------------------------  
// edit doc.footnoteOption here  
with (myDoc.footnoteOptions)   
    {  
    showPrefixSuffix = FootnotePrefixSuffix.PREFIX_SUFFIX_BOTH;  
    prefix = "[";  
    suffix = "]";  
    separatorText = "\t";  
    markerPositioning = FootnoteMarkerPositioning.NORMAL_MARKER;  
    }  
//------------------------------------------------------------  
// move endnotes to a separate textFrame  
for (k=mStory.paragraphs.length - 1; k >=0; k--)   
    {  
    if (mStory.paragraphs.contents.search(/^\[\d+\]/) == 0)   
        {  
        currPara = mStory.paragraphs.move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, mEndNotes.parentStory);  
        currPara.words[0].remove();  
        }  
    }  
//--------------------------------------  
// create footnote markers  
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\*+";  
mMarkers = mStory.findGrep();  
len = mMarkers.length;  
while (len-->0) {  
    cIP = mMarkers[len].insertionPoints[0].index;  
    mMarkers[len].remove();  
    mStory.footnotes.add( LocationOptions.AFTER, mStory.insertionPoints[cIP] );  
    }  
//-------------------------------------------------------  
// fill footnote contents with proper text  
for (k=0; k < mStory.footnotes.length; k++) {  
    currFoot = mStory.footnotes;  
    mEndNotes.paragraphs[0].texts[0].move(LocationOptions.AT_END, currFoot.texts[0]);  
    if (mStory.footnotes.characters[-1].contents == "\r") mStory.footnotes.characters[-1].remove();  
    }  
  
mEndNotes.remove(); 

However, the script does not seem to work. Could any one help me regarding the same? How do I make the script search * text references and put them as footnotes.

I have attached a snap for better clarity, as well.

Any help, would be greatly appreciated.
