Hello,
i’d like to search for a placeholder (<—> or something else ) in a Devonthink document without the searchwindow.
If a placeholder was found, it should be selected and have focus, so i can overwrite it.
It would be nice, if the script can search for ← username ->, ← login ->, etc.
The document is created from a template, which contains the placeholder.
I was trying this by myself, but my script doesn’t work well
If i run the script from Script Editor, it works like it should but if i run it from DT with a shortcut it only works once.
set the_text to "<--->"
-- <---> placeholder in document
tell application "DEVONthink Pro"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "DEVONthink Pro"
-- open search window
keystroke "f" using command down
-- insert placeholder
keystroke the_text
-- simulate return
key code 36
-- close window
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
I hope someone could help me with this script.
Thank you
