Hello,
I dabble in FrameMaker Extendscript, and I find it quite tricky to get
right - especially when dealing with structured content.
The Find() statement has the syntax: Find(textLoc, findParams)
where textLoc is a TextLoc data type, and findParams is a PropVals data
type.
The only times that I have played with PropVals is for file open
operations which I find requires a fair bit of knowledge to get right.
For example, if I want to open a file but ignore the 'missing fonts'
errors, you need to get a property list index for the feature constant
item, and then set the property value:
var index, file, props, returnnp = new PropVals();
props = GetOpenDefaultParams();
//Ignore the "missing fonts" errors
index = GetPropIndex(props, Constants.FS_FontNotFoundInCatalog);
if (index > -1) props[index].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;
index = GetPropIndex(props, Constants.FS_FontNotFoundInDoc);
if (index > -1) props[index].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;
file = Open(path, props, returnp);
So, I think you might have to find the property item, and then set the
ival [integer value] and sval [string values] like this:
var sProps = new PropVals(), flagCombo = 0, index ;
index = GetPropIndex(sProps, Constants.FS_FindText)
if (index > -1) sProp[index].propVal.sval = sSearch ;
// don't wrap the search around to the top
index = GetPropIndex(sProps, Constants.FS_FindWrap)
if (index > -1) sProp[index].propVal.ival = false ;
// set the appropriate flags
index = GetPropIndex(sProps, Constant.FS_FindCustomizationFlags)
if (bCase) flagCombo |= Constants.FF_FIND_CONSIDER_CASE ;
if (bRegEx) flagCombo |= Constants.FF_FIND_USE_REGEX;
if (bWild) flagCombo |= Constants.FF_FIND_USE_WILDCARDS;
if (bWord) flagCombo |= Constants.FF_FIND_WHOLE_WORD;
if (bBack) flagCombo |= Constants.FF_FIND_BACKWARDS;
if (index > -1) sProp[index].propVal.ival = flagCombo
// do the Find!
Find(yourTextLoc, sProps)
// don't forget to check the error code - just in case!
I hope this helps.

Dear all
My post on the FM Adobe forum
(https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/find-customisation-flags-not-accepted/td-p
/11649459/) did not trigger any reaction so far:
o Either the solution is so trivial that nobody wants to blame me
o Or the problem is so nasty that nobody knows a solution to it.

I do not get correct PropVals (an image doesn't make it into the forum, hence a
retype of the Data Browser here):
findParms = [object PropVal],[object PropVal],[object PropVal]
oPropVal1 = [object PropVal]
propldent = [object Propldent]
name =
num = 1
propVal = [object TypedVal]
ival = ssval does not have a value
sval = \d[st|nd|rd|th]
val = obj does not have a value
valType = 3
oPropVal2 = [object PropVal]
propldent = [object Propldent]
name =
num =15
propVal = [object TypedVal]
ival = ssval does not have a value
sval =
val = obj does not have a value
valType = 1
oPropVal3 = [object PropVal]
propldent = [object Propldent]
name =
num = 17
propVal = [object TypedVal]
ival = ssval does not have a value
sval =
val = obj does not have a value
valType = 1
qFlags = 17
sSearch = \d[st|nd|rd|th]
Any ideas from this audience?
