To find a text style one by one

This is for text

i can help you but i need to understand first
-Why pass by the find/change window instead of targeting directly the box and story by script
-And what is control key +8 doing
on my mac the control key does nothing.. even the command+8 does nothing
-So what do you want to do? (accept or reject change ???)
At this time i'm able to get the find/change window and uncheck the “Ignore Attributes” by script
But not sure is the best way
Need more detail

Excuse me, its not clear enough for me
If you're text is already formated by Character style... why just pout the color in that style sheet
...
in case its not what you mean... why the One By one is important
Do you have to approve each modification one by one
you could find and modify ALL desire i.e.: Helv 12pt Bold to Red color in one operation
...
I just be sure of you're need

      set the position of window 1 of process "QuarkXPress" to {200, 200}
      set x to 654

      set l to 1
      
      do shell script "
/usr/bin/python <<END
import sys

from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
          theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
          CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
          mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
          mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
          mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);             # Save current mouse position
for x in range(0, " & l & "):
          mouseclick(" & x & "," & y & ");
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y));      # Restore mouse position
END"
