Automating URLs of catalogue numbers in InDesign CS4

$

Hi,

 

Anyone know if a script can be used to automate the creation of URLs based on catalogue numbers in a document? For instance, many of our data sheets, brochures, etc. have long lists of catalogue numbers on the back pages. We'd like to use these as links when exported as PDFs. Trouble is, there are so many, it would take forever to click on them all and create individual links.

 

I've read here on the forums that someone was asking a similar question about using Character Style sheets to "tag" content to convert to URLs. We want to do the same, only append the catalogue number to a static URL. For instance, www.mycompany.com/catalogue/XXXX where XXXX is a catalogue number from the text that is in a certain character style. We'd want to then create a link using this URL on the catalogue number in the text.

 

Thanks,

Sintares
