[JS, CS2] Find Text - Change Paragraph Style

Question

I have text supplied to me formated with <g>,< b>,<k> or <r> at the start of paragraphs, this represents different paragraph styles that need to be applied. <br /><br />I started a script below, but it comes up with an error at "app.findTextPreferences.findText" <br /><br />have a used the wrong function here? <br />Is there an easy way for it to run through all of them as well, or should I just repeat this script with < b>,<k> and <r><br /><br />var myDoc = app.activeDocument;<br />var greenBullet = ["<g>", "<g>"]<br />replaceGreen();<br /><br />function replaceGreen() {<br />for (i = 0; i < greenBullet.length; i++) {<br />            var myGreenArray = greenBullet[i];<br />            app.findTextPreferences.findText = myGreenArray[0];<br />            app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = myGreenArray[1];<br />            app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle=myDoc.characteerStyles.item("OFI Body copy_GREEN BULLET");<br />            myDoc.changeText();<br />            }<br />}

Thanks Dave!<br /><br />OK, Now I am getting this message when I run it:<br /><br />"A layer with this name already exists...<br />...     if (myPageItems[i]  instanceof TextFrame && myPageItems[i].itemLayer.name = "listings")"<br /><br />So it's trying to create a new layer called listings.<br />Also - it seems to want to move the items to that layer?<br /><br />var myDoc = app.activeDocument;<br />app.findPreferences = null;<br />app.changePreferences = null; <br /><br />myObjectStyle = myDoc.objectStyles.item("defaultText");<br />myPageItems = myDoc.allPageItems;<br />for (var i = myPageItems.length - 1; i >=0; i--) {<br />     if (myPageItems[i]  instanceof TextFrame && myPageItems[i].itemLayer.name = "listings") {<br />          myPageItems[i].applyObjectStyle(myObjectStyle);<br />     }<br />}<br /><br />myDoc.search("<g>", false, false, undefined, undefined, {appliedParagraphStyle:"OFI Body copy_GREEN BULLET"});<br />myDoc.search("<k>", false, false, undefined, undefined, {appliedParagraphStyle:"OFI Body copy_BLACK BULLET"});<br />myDoc.search("<r>", false, false, undefined, undefined, {appliedParagraphStyle:"OFI Body copy_RED BULLET"});<br />myDoc.search("< b>", false, false, undefined, undefined, {appliedParagraphStyle:"OFI Body copy_BLUE BULLET"});
