How can I change specific characters in Quark XPress 7

[sjenko]

Hello,
How can I change scpecific character in Quark something like this:

tell application “QuarkXPress Passport”
tell document 1
set (every character of every story where it = “č”) to “Å“”
set (every character of every story where it = “Å¡”) to “ø”
set (every character of every story where it = “ž”) to “æ”
set (every character of every story where it = “ć”) to “Ã¥”
set (every character of every story where it = “Ä‘”) to “fi”
set (every character of every story where it = “ÄŒ”) to “Å’”
set (every character of every story where it = "Å ") to “Ø”
set (every character of every story where it = “Ž”) to “Æ”
set (every character of every story where it = “Ć”) to “Ã…”
set (every character of every story where it = "Đ) to “fl”
end tell
end tell

This script work, but not work properly. I want to change all lower “č” to “Å“” characters . My way change all “č” to “Å“” (lower and upper characters).

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

Hi Sebastjan:

I’m a little rusty with Quark because I’ve migrated to InDesign but I think this is what you’re looking for. Just enter the search and replace strings as variables. Alternately, you can hard code the strings into the try clause.

set search_string to ""
set replace_string to ""

tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
	activate
	tell document 1
		try
                       set (text of every story where it is (search_string as text)) to (replace_string as text)
		end try
	end tell
end tell
