Hi Dave,

I have done some modifications in the script according to our requirement with your script. Its working fine. I need help from you regarding searches between the range of numbers. For example in index i need to add numbers between the range 250 and 450. So the script has only find & add numbers, if the page numbers greater than 250 and Less than 450. Find the modified script below.

//To regenerate the Index numbers...

try
{
myIndex = app.selection[0].parentStory
}
catch(e)
{
	alert ("Sorry! Place the cursor into the Story and then Try...")
	exit();
}

//TO FIND ONLY BEGINING OF NUMBERS

setupFindGrep("\\<\\d+")

myFinds = myIndex.findGrep();
myVariable = prompt('Please the Enter Value: E.g. (2 or -2, 10 or -10)', '');

for (var j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
  myFinds[j].contents = String(Number(myFinds[j].contents) + Number(myVariable))
}
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
alert ("The Index has been Updated with (" + myVariable + ") Numbers...")

//End of sript

Can you please look into this and help me. Thanks in advance Dave.

Regards
Thiyagu
