newbie question, but could not find any answers. what is the easiest
way to automate successive searches to multiple open documents?
so lets say i have five search and replace patterns. i would now do
this five times with the search and replace window, but surely there
must be a way to automate this. the search and replace patterns are
always the same but the files change every time. i tried to record
the action with apple script, but it recorded all the filenames also,
which is no good as every time i want to repeat this action the
collection of files differ.
basically i want a script that can do something like this:
search all "aaaaa" and replace all with "bbbbb" in all open documents;
search all "ccccccc" and replace all with "ddddddd" in all open
documents;
search all "eeeee" and replace all with "fffffff" in all open documents;
search all "gggggg" and replace all with "hhhhhh" in all open documents;
search all "iiiiiiiiii" and replace all with "jjjjjjjjjjjjj" in all
open documents;
any help appreciated.
kind regards,
/sami kallinen
