It would be better if I had a working document as close to the actual production file as you can supply to test against.

The script would need to act differently depending on:
The objects parent or spread.
If it is contained within a group, table, or master text frame.
If it has a paragraph or character style applied.

If you have a document open and there are no other text variables in the document you can use the script I have attached here:

Warning: It does not contain any error checking and will fail if there is no document open.
