I have been receiving files that have the Masculine Ordinal Indicator instead of the standard Degree Sign. It is a bit random, sometimes mixed in a folder. The files have multiple text boxes and sometimes art as well. The fonts usually do not change. Am I going in the right direction with this? I havenąt had much time in the last few months to address AppleScript amongst my numerous responsibilities, so I continuously feel like I am re-learning As when I pick up a project again. Any help is appreciated. --This script will change the --U+00B0 (MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR) --characters to --U+00BA (DEGREE SIGN). copy text item delimiters of AppleScript to savedDelim set text item delimiters of AppleScript to {":"} set text item delimiters of AppleScript to savedDelim set charInput to «data utxt00BA» set charOutput to «data utxt00B0» display dialog "Input - Masculine Ordinal Indicator: " & charInput & return & "Output - Degree Sign: " & charOutput set sourceFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder to process." tell application "Finder" to set theFiles to files of folder sourceFolder whose kind contains "QuarkXPress" repeat with oneFile in theFiles tell application "QuarkXPress" activate open (oneFile as alias) tell front document repeat with p from 1 to count of pages repeat with a from 1 to count of text boxes repeat with c from 1 to count of characters if c is charInput then set c to charOutput end if end repeat end repeat end repeat end tell end tell --close saving yes --uncomment when done end repeat --display dialog "Character change done."
