How to search for supertext in a macro?
I am unable to find the SrchAttribute for superscript (and subtext) to use it in a macro, as shown below for italic.
Thank you in advance!
Code: Select all
SrchAttributes(0).Name = "CharPosture"
SrchAttributes(0).Value = com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant.ITALIC
oReplace.SetSearchAttributes(SrchAttributes())

Just a tip:
CharEscapement
https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/com ... rties.html
Have you used the styles for formatting the character (paragraph style or character style) or the characters are formatted by direct formatting method?
It is better to use the real (Unicode) sub- and superscript characters in the text body:
Code: Select all
Super:⁺⁻⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁼⁽⁾ᵃᵇᶜᵈᶠ⁻ᴬᴮᴰᴱ Sub:₀₁₃₄₅₆₇₈₉ₐₕᵢⱼₗ
The well featured Unicode fonts have not a full English alphabet fot the sub- and supercript...

@Zizi64:
CharEscapement: Yes, but there is no information how to be used in SrchAttributes...
Direct formatting.
Unicode superscript: Not complete enough. There is no superscript asterisk...

Yes, it is true...

My second tip:
Two line from the Basic code of the extension named AltSearch:
Code: Select all
" Subscript (Auto) "+chr(160)+"[:::CharAutoEscapement=true|CharEscapementHeight=58|CharEscapement=-101::]", _
" Superscript (Auto) "+chr(160)+"[:::CharAutoEscapement=true|CharEscapementHeight=58|CharEscapement=101::]", _
Maybe it will give you some ideas, or maybe you can use the AltSearch itself, instead your code.

@Zizi64:
Thank you very much for your tip!!!
I am experimenting now with searching methods like this:
Code: Select all
SrchAttributes(0).Name = "CharEscapement"
SrchAttributes(0).Value = 33
(Superscript is raised by 33% in my document, according to character format data.)
But it doesn't work. Only searching for value 0 (normal text) works perfectly... (Searching for value 0 identifies all normal text, not superscript!)
Maybe an old bug:
