Script to change a paratag based on the autonumber format

[Scott Prentice]

OK .. couldn't resist. Try this ..

--------------------
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
// these para tags must already exist
var pgfFormat1 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "listitem1");
var pgfFormat2 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "listitem2");

if ((!pgfFormat1.ObjectValid()) || (!pgfFormat2.ObjectValid())) {
     alert("Para tags must exist!");
}
else
{
     var pgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

     while(pgf.ObjectValid() == true)
     {
         var autonum = pgf.AutoNumString + "";
         if (autonum.length > 0) {
             if (autonum.substring(0, 3) == "•\\t") {
                 var props = pgfFormat1.GetProps();
                 pgf.SetProps(props);
             }
             else if (autonum.substring(0, 3) == "o\\t") {
                 var props = pgfFormat2.GetProps();
                 pgf.SetProps(props);
             }
         }
         pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow;
     }
}
--------------------
