That's right Carlos @kimDino8, my script in Carlos link creates a green rectangle around the selected items. If you don't need this rectangle than you can remove this lines: var newRGBColor = new RGBColor(); newRGBColor.red = 0; newRGBColor.green = 255; newRGBColor.blue = 0; and replace this: var aRectangle = aDoc.pathItems.rectangle(vBounds_Ob, vBounds_Li, vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li, vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un); aRectangle.strokeColor = newRGBColor; aRectangle.strokeWidth= 2; aRectangle.filled = false; aRectangle.stroked = true; aDoc.selection = null; with this: var mmFactor = 2.83464567; alert("width = "+ (vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li)/mmFactor); alert("height = "+ (vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un)/mmFactor); Further you only have to do: create a function for rounding of the result. ...

Create a textframe with min 1 character and run the following script.

Point 1 - 5 --> correct. This is the same procedure, regardless of whether in UI or via script. I think you will need the script for commercial use. To finish the script, I'll need more time than I would like to invest. Maybe someone else takes time for you. My English is not the best. I hope you understand me anyway right.

This is doable. Create a new Symbol with your circle. (manually) Make a copy and convert to path with textFrames.duplicate() and createOutline() Create a new layer.

pixxxel schubser wrote: (The easiest way? Take your text, go to InDesign and use GREP search and replace.) For RegEx or GREP one thing is very important. It takes several examples (with maximum and minimum) in order to establish a firm rule can. (The parenthesis with contents remain the same?) Would you like new order the 480 (before whitespace and the parenthesis) after the parenthesis and whitespace and add a $ sign? Before or after the 480? With or without spaces? Can a date or other numbers before a parenthesis happen? Can other numbers exist? With 1, 2, 3, or how many digits? Once or more per line? One or more times per paragraph? The more precise the statement, the better. The more solid rules are known, the safer working RegEx or GREP.
