My script does a simple GREP find/change:

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "grepstringtofind";
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "";
myDoc.changeGrep();

Is there any way to have the script display the "Search is completed. 121 replacement(s) made." dialog box that appears when "Change All" is clicked in the GREP find/change UI? Or alternatively, to somehow programmatically count how many changes were made?

f = myDoc.changeGrep();
alert ("Search is completed. " + f.length + " replacement(s) made.")

Thank you Peter. Perfect! I didn't know I could do that, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks for helping me get my head around this.
