Hi Russ,

Thanks for your response. What I am trying to do is to extract meta-data (attribute) information from the documents, I need to tag each document of a given book.

After looking at a few documents, I found that they are structurally very similar, meaning that the title information can be found in each document inside a flow of certain name. To be sure about that, I was hoping that I can write something to output the flow name and the corresponding content so that I can verify.

When I click at the area that shows the title information, it shows "Flow: A : 100_01_01_header" at the lover left hand corner of the FrameMaker application window (by looking at the name, is that the flow name followed by the element name?). The second metadata is in "Flow: A : 010_01_00_Heading01". The third one is in "Flow: B : 060_02_01_body number" or "Flow: B : *060_01_01_body number".

Here are my questions:
Why some names have an asterisk (*) in it?

Can I retrieve directly the text from flow of certain name, like those mentioned above?

Can I then output these information into a text file in ascii text? I can then parse this text file with some other tool for the attribute information.

If you do not mind, I can send in a sample document for you to advise.

Thanks,

Robert
