I've tried:
for(z=0;z<app.activeDocument.stories.length;z++){

	story = app.activeDocument.stories[z];
	searchResults = story.contents.match(/\t[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2,}$/g);
	if(searchResults != null){
	 app.findPreferences = app.changePreferences = null;
	 for(i=0;i<searchResults.length;i++){ 		 story.search(searchResults[i],true,true,''); 	 } 	}

}

all I get is the error: story.contents.match is not a function (searchResults = story.contents.match(/\t[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2,}$/g);)

Why is it not working?
