I can't answer your first question because it is VB specific. In JS, you can use RegExp for that kind of thing, but that doesn't help you.

The second question I can answer. I use this function:

function selectIt(theObj) {
	// Selects object, turns to page and zooms in on it
	app.select(theObj,SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
	app.activeWindow.zoom(ZoomOptions.fitPage);
	app.activeWindow.zoomPercentage = 200
}

You'll need to transcribe it into VB, but that should be easy. The last line is optional, of course, or you can grab the current percentage before making the selection and then reassert it. You need to do the double fit to make sure the object is actually on screen before zooming in on it.
