[CS2][JS]Find/Change/Expand Help....

Question

Please i really can't get this done or have no idea how to. There are people who helped me do this function but i don't know how to apply it in my actual file.
app.findPreferences = app.changePreferences = null;
app.findPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'cbib';
var myFound = app.activeDocument.search( '' );
for (j=0; j > myFound.length; j++)
var LamanNgCbib = myFound[j].contents.slice(1,-1);
var dar = LamanNgCbib.replace(/\uFEFF/g, '');
var expanded = unrange(dar);
app.activeDocument.search( dar, false, false, expanded )
function unrange (s)
return s.replace (/(\d+)\u2013(\d+)/g, expand)
function expand ()
var expanded = [];
var start = Number (arguments[1]);
var stop = Number (arguments[2]);
for (var i = start; i <= stop; i++)
expanded.push (i);
return expanded
The script only replaces the first instance ([1,3,5-7] becomes [1,3,5,6,7,8]) but the rest does not. so i have to run the script again for the others to unrange and wait forever 'til the script finished. Is there anyway to loop my search and replace so i have to run the script only once? Please i really need your help scripters.

Your loop is wrong.
You should be using:
for (j = myFound.length - 1; j >= 0; j--)
Because you're changing the text, it is vital that you iterate backwards.
Your loop doesn't even iterate because you have the comparison the wrong way around.
