Hi,

Can you tell how to get the content of whole paragraph of found text? I�ll get the content of whole story. How to define paragraph?

// Sample data in InDesign
// A100 (tab) 1234 (tab) 5678 (ret)
// B100 (tab) 1234 (tab) 5678 (ret)
// C100 (tab) 1234 (tab) 5678 (ret)

app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "B100";
myFound = app.activeDocument.findText();

myFound[0].select();
myFoundText = app.selection[0].contents // shows content of selected item
alert ("selection is: " + myFoundText)

myFoundText = app.selection[0].parent.contents // shows content of whole story, but only the content of parapgraph of found item?
alert ("content is: " + myFoundText)

regards

Erkki
