As I'm new to AppleScript, I don't know how to solve this easy problem. I want to search patterns in the text of the front window, do a few find and replace on the selection, then loop until the end of file.

The script should look like this:

repeat
        find a pattern
        do some changes on the selected found result
        set cursor position after the last character of the selection
until end of file

The two problems I can't solve are :

1- how to set the cursor to the end of the previous found result that is still selected ;

2- the loop condition: the previous selection may be several paragraph long, and the modifications I make on it will often change the number of it's lines, so I can't use the text initial line numbers to loop.

Thank you for your help.
