Indesign Script - Kleine Erweiterung des Standardskripts FindChangeByList.jsx

Die folgende Skriptvariante 'FindChangeByList_mod1.jsx', die ich mit der Funktion 'chooseMyOwnList()' erweitert habe, erledigt dies über eine entsprechende Bestückung des Unterverzeichnisses 'FindChangeSupport':

Liegt im Unterverzeichnis 'FindChangeSupport' (relativ zum Verzeichnis des Skripts) keine Datei namens 'FindChangeList.txt' vor, schaut sich das Skript in diesem Unterverzeichnsi nach anderen Dateien mit der Endung '.txt' um und stellt diese in einem DrowDown-Menü zur Auswahl.

Findet das Skript im angegebenen Unterverzeichnis keine txt-Dateien, dann erscheint wie beim Ausgangsskript ein Dialog zur Auswahl einer Datei mit Definitionen zum Ersetze-Vorgang (über den man dann wie gehabt andere Verzeichnisse durchsuchen kann).

Kurzanleitung:
1. Unterverzeichnis 'FindChangeSupport' relativ zum Skriptverzeichnis (dem Verzeichnis, in dem 'FindChangeByList_mod1.jsx' liegt) anlegen.
2. 'FindChangeList.txt' im Unterverzeichnis 'FindChangeSupport' ggf. umbenennen.
3. Weitere Listen als TXT-Dateien im Unterverzeichnis 'FindChangeSupport' ablegen.

//FindChangeByList_mod1.jsx 
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript 
// 
// A variaton von FindChangeByList.jsx 
// New function 'chooseMyOwnList()' to choose an own list located in  
// [scriptDir]/FindChangeSupport if FindChangeList.txt does not exist 
// added by Martin Fischer. 
// 
//Loads a series of tab-delimited strings from a text file, then performs a series 
//of find/change operations based on the strings read from the file. 
// 
//The data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records. 
// 
//The format of each record in the file is: 
//findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptions<tab>description 
// 
//Where: 
//<tab> is a tab character 
//findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use). 
//findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences. 
//changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences. 
//findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options. 
//description is a description of the find/change operation 
// 
//Very simple example: 
//text	{findWhat:"--"}	{changeTo:"^_"}	{includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}	Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash. 
// 
//More complex example: 
//text	{findWhat:"^9^9.^9^9"}	{appliedCharacterStyle:"price"}	{include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}	Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price". 
// 
//All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "findWhat" and "changeTo" properties for findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences. 
// 
//If you enter backslashes in the findWhat property of the findGrepPreferences object, they must be "escaped" 
//as shown in the example below: 
// 
//{findWhat:"\\s+"}
