Text find and change the problem CS3 and CS4 scripts

I use the script below to find text and turn them into others.

There is one thing the script can't do it for me.

Example:

(g) management

(1) that no law that is adopted in the Cayman Islands, a tax to collect profits, income, gains or satisfaction does apply to the company or its activities; and

(2) that the above-mentioned tax or any tax in the form of rights of succession or inheritance tax is payable in respect of shares, debentures or other obligations of the company.

Example: (end)

I had a lot of subjects or points in the passage. And I want to change the space between '(g)' and 'Management' in a tab character. So I revised the plain text file 1texte.

PS: 1text.txt is filled with what to change.

text {findWhat: "^ p(^?)" ' "} {changeTo: "^ p(^?)"} ^ t "} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} search all space-dash-space and replace it with an en dash."

The result is:

(^?) ^ tManagement

(^?) ^ tthat any law that is passed in the Cayman Islands, imposing a tax on profits, income, not capital gains or satisfaction applies to the company or its activities. and

(^?) ^ tthat the above-mentioned tax or any tax in the form of rights of succession or inheritance tax is payable in respect of shares, debentures or other obligations of the company.

PS: ^ t is a tab character.

result (END)

This is not what I want.

It should be"(g) ^ tManagement'.

PS: ^ t is a tab character.

Please someboady help me out revised the script below to change the text in what I want. Thank you very much.

Here's the script.

FindChangeByList.jsx
An InDesign CS4 JavaScript
/*
@@BUILDINFO @ "FindChangeByList.jsx" 2.0.0.0 January 10, 2008
*/
Loads a series of strings delimited by tab characters from a text file, and then executes a series
Find/replace operations based on the lines read from the file.
//
The data file is delimited by tabs, returns to cart that separates 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 find/replace operation type to use).
findProperties is a recording of properties (text) search preferences.
changeProperties is a recording of properties (text) of the change preferences.
findChangeOptions is a recording of properties (text) of the options find/replace.
Description is a description of the search/replace operation
//
Very simple example:
text {findWhat: "-"} {changeTo: "^ _"} {includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:false} find all double hyphens and replace by an em dash.
//
More complex example:
text {findWhat: ' ^ 9 ^ 9.} {' ^ 9 ^ 9 '} {appliedCharacterStyle: 'price'} {include notes: true, include master pages: true include hidden layers: true, any word: false} find $ 10.00 to $ 99.99 and apply the character style 'price '.
//
All metacharacters search InDesign are allowed in the properties 'findWhat' and 'changeTo"findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences.
//
If you enter the backslashes in the object findGrepPreferences findWhat property, they must be "escaped".
as shown in the example below:
//
{"findWhat: '"\\s+ "}

I'm not a writer, but I'll take a stab and try to make a difference here.

The main problem, in my opinion, is that you use a plain text instead of GREP search. Text gross has no provision to replace the text found by itself, for example, rather than using the codes you entered a literal string. Your search text of ' ^ p(^?) ' means find any character in brackets that occurs after a paragraph break. I would use in GREP ^ \s+ ($.+?$) which translates to find an opening parenthesis at the beginning of a paragraph (so he'll find if it happens to be the first character in th in a story) followed by a number any characters up to the first parenthesis (in the case where you have double the figures or double entries letter) followed by ANY white space (in the case where it is not an ordinary space or multiple spaces). Replace $1\t which means the text found in the first set of parentheses in query search followed by a tab.

Parentheses are special in GREP, they surround groups of terms you want to re-use the text found, so looking for the actual characters you need to 'escape' with the-prefix, so $.+$ will find a paren open followed by all the characters up to the end last paren in the paragraph. Addition of the? After the + makes research stop at the first closing paren met, although there are several sets in the paragraph.
