I am editing a table script I have. I have these two lines but I don’t know how exactly to modify it so it will do what I want.
table.rows.everyItem().cells.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().appliedParagraphStyle = paragraphStyle(‘Table’, ‘Table – Body Text’); // Apply “Table – Body Text” to all text
table.rows.everyItem().cells.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().appliedParagraphStyle = paragraphStyle(‘Table’, ‘Table – Body Number’); // Apply “Table – Body Numbers” to all numbersI want to apply the style “Table – Body Text” to cells that contain letters but may also contain numbers.
I want to apply the style “Table – Body Numbers” to cells that contain ONLY numbers.Can anyone help me? Please. :)

I think the easiest thing would be to leave the first line as is so it styles everything with the main body text style, then replace the second line with a GREP search that will find all number-only cells within that style and table.
So the second line would be replaced with something like this:
//create variables for paragraph styles
var tableBodyStyle = paragraphStyle(‘Table’, ‘Table – Body Text’);
var tableNumberStyle = paragraphStyle(‘Table’, ‘Table – Body Number’);//GREP to find text that only contains numbers, comma separator, or decimal, currency symbol
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = “^[\\d,\\.\\$]+$”; //this can be reduced if you only need digits
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = tableBodyStyle;
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = tableNumberStyle;//search within current table
table.changeGrep(); -
