Hello,

I have a script that finds certain text formatting. Rather than having the script select all the instances of this text I have an alert that lists the page number and the contents for each found instance. The following gets those.

var pageNumber = myFoundSet[n].parentTextFrames[0].parent.name;
var foundContents = myFoundSet[n].contents;

However, I would like to include the number of the paragraph where the found text resides as well as the line number in that paragraph.

I am stumped on how to do this. Would be nice if there were a parentParagraph and a parentLine.

Can someone point me in a direction?

Thanks,
Tom
