Does this work?
myIndex = app.selection[0].parentStory
setupFindGrep("\\d+")
myFinds = myIndex.findGrep();
for (var j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
myFinds[j].contents = String(Number(myFinds[j].contents) + 10)
}
function setupFindGrep(find, change, foots, hidLayers, lockedLayers, lockedStories, masters) {
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
try { app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = find } catch(e) {};
try {app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = change } catch(e) {};
app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = {
includeFootnotes:(foots == null ? false : foots),
includeHiddenLayers:(hidLayers == null ? false : hidLayers),
includeLockedLayersForFind:(lockedLayers == null ? false : lockedLayers),
includeLockedStoriesForFind:(lockedStories == null ? false : lockedStories),
includeMasterPages:(masters == null ? false : masters)
}
} // end setupFindGrep
Be warned that I just wrote this here and haven't tested it. The function works correctly; that I lifted from my library of text snippets.
