Hi,
I’m new to Skim and I play around trying to add highlights (note type =
highlight note) with AppleScript.
I got a position and page from a Kindle export of the highlights made there
(position = a location comprises around 125 characters, spacing included, or 23
words). The kindle export looks like:
<div class="noteHeading">
Highlight(<span class="highlight_yellow">yellow</span>) - page 10 ·
Position 124
</div>
<div class="noteText">
Überseeische Siedlungskolonisation.
</div>
So first thing I tried:
set theText to "Überseeische Siedlungskolonisation."
set kindleLocation to 124
set startOfLocation to (kindleLocation * 125)
set endOfLocation to startOfLocation + (length of theText)
set aSelection to {a reference to characters startOfLocation thru endOfLocation
of text of document 1}
set theSel to find text theText from aSelection
worked sometimes. But the position value I got from the Kindle seems to be
calculated in a way I can’t predict. So I tried the page value.
set aSelection to {a reference to text of page kindlePage of document 1}
now aSeletion contains "every text of page 8 of document 1“. The result of the
find returns "characters 34 thru 47 of text of page 9 of document
„mydemopdf“"???
Why does the find return something located out of the selection? Any idea how
to use the values of the kindle export in Skim?
Thanks a lot,
Detlef
