Hi, everyone,
If I rename Frame files in a book, is it possible to automate changing the file 
names in cross-reference hypertext markers to repair the cross-references that 
will break? Specifically, we'd like to rename Frame files so that there are no 
spaces in the names (same characters in the file names but no spaces). I'd like 
to be able to search all cross-reference marker text to find file names with 
spaces and remove the spaces.
For example, a file in a book has a cross-reference to "System Overview.fm". I 
change the name of that file to "SystemOverview.fm". I'd like a script to be 
able to the Frame file name in the x-ref marker and remove the space, and go on 
to find all other Frame file names with spaces in x-ref markers and do the same.
I'm no script expert - not even a novice - but in searching for a pattern that 
a script might latch on to to do this, the  names of Frame files in the same 
directory as the file x-reffing to them are uniformly preceded by 
"openObjectID". Could the script look for openObjectID (+ the space after it) 
and then remove the spaces contained in the characters that follow up to ".fm"? 
For files that are x-reffed that are in different directories from the 
x-reffing file, could the script look for  "/<file name>.fm" and again remove 
spaces within the name string?
Or am I asking the impossible of Framescript?
Thank you for reading.
