This is probably something any scripter knows, but I've managed to not learn it in my limited forays into the subject.

I've got paragraphs that end in a page number either 1, 2, or 3 digits long. I need to get that number into a form such that I can use it to script creating a hyperlink to the page to which it refers. Basically, it is an index story that isn't created by InDesign, but I need it hyperlinked the way that InDesign does its own indices. I'll be outputting a PDF.

I'm not asking anyone to write the whole script for me, just give me some tips on getting those last few characters of a paragraph into variable form. Then I'll spend some of my weekend on it and be back with more questions on Monday, no doubt. Thanks for any help you can offer.
