Find and replace object and font

[Mcrazy-J2gxBI]

i was trying to flip objects with stroke value other than zero, so i tried the below code after selecting the object

app.selection[0].absoluteFlip = Flip.HORIZONTAL;

and it worked but i want to automate this process so i tried the below code

app.findObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findObjectPreferences.strokeWeight != "0";

app.changeObjectPreferences.absoluteFlip = Flip.HORIZONTAL;

app.changeObjectPreferences.flip;

myDocument.changeObject();

but it gives error because "absoluteFlip" cant be used with "changeObjectPreferences " so what should i do

and also i dont know how to adjust settings for find object like "includeFootnotes" and "includeHiddenLayers"

the same way i do with find/replace text and grep

also i was trying to automate find and replace fonts using grep but i faced a problem with empty text frames and empty tables

i solved the text frames problem but i dont know how to do it in tables can any body help me in these two problems

Hi..

You cant use != condition directly in find preference..

use this code..

app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;
app.findObjectPreferences.strokeWeight=1;
myFindObj=app.findObject(true);
for(i=0;i<myFindObj.length;i++){
    if(myFindObj.strokeWeight!=0){
        myFindObj.flipItem(Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR);
}
}

Please remove the line 2 in the above script (app.findObjectPreferences.strokeWeight=1).. I forget to remove that.. so it will work for all cases
