[JS, ID5] Change fontStyle

Question

Hello,
I have the following script for changing character overrides (bold) for character styles:
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "Bold";
app.documents.item(0).changeText();
The problem is that paragraph styles containing the font style "bold" as a preset, also get's the character style "bold" assigned.
The script has to skip the predefined -bold made- paragraph styles!?
Regards, Sjoerd

Hi Sjord,
Please try the below JS code, I have test the code in CS5.5 its working fine.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
var mySearch = myDoc.findText();
for(var i=mySearch.length-1; i>=0; i--){
    var myStyle = mySearch[i].appliedParagraphStyle;
    // Note: the below font style not in Bold then the script will apply the bold character style. If the heading has applied in Bold Condensed or something etc. This script will not work. Please take care.
    if(myStyle.fontStyle != "Bold"){
        mySearch[i].appliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.item("Bold");
thx,
