Hi there,

I'm doing a grep-search about all open documents by script. The results are saved by an array:

myGrepText = app.findGrep(true);

Afterwards I loop all results and I need to know in which document the 	individual result is. This code works so far:

for (var i = 0; i < myGrepText.length; i++ ) { var myDoc = myGrepText[i].parent.insertionPoints[0].parentStory.parent; ... }

My Question: Isn't there a better way to get the analog document?

Thanks
H.

myGrepText[i].parentStory.parent;

Though ideally you you check if that is indeed a document in order to cope with text found in anchors, overset text, etc.

Ah, but the parent of a story, overset, anchored or whatever, is always the document.

All the better -- no need to check then.
