Learning applescript

[Icecold]

Can someone help me with a simple applescript.

I have a quark document open which is my front most window

I want to do a find in my document for the word "test"

Then do a paste of what's on my clipboard

Save the file to a desktop folder called working in a sequential order.

By a sequence order I mean

1.QXD

2.QXD

3.QXD

4.QXD

ETC

ETC

You get the picture

Does anybody know how to do a find in a document in applescript or even some Kind of keystroke for cmd F. So that I can set it find when a document is open

tell application ""

activate

try

set

Did you look into Quark's Applescript dictionary to see what Applescript commands it has available?

Icecold, if you are looking for a way to do search and replaces, for Quark tags and such, I'd suggest checking out

some cool regex osax stuff.

I use it a lot to format Quark tags and search and replace
