Hi All

I am trying to write script for search based on paragraph style here is my code

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myStylename = myDoc.paragraphStyles.everyItem().name;
var myStylenamelen = myStylename.length;
var myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
var mySlen = myStyles.length;

for (var a=0; myStylenamelen > a; a++) {
for (var j=1; mySlen > j; j++)
{
 if (myStyles[j].basedOn == myStylename[a])
 {
  alert("Paragraph style " + myStyles[j].name + " " + myStylename[a]);
  exit();
  }
}
}

can anyone tell me what me doing wrong

Thanks

Hi,

Is this what you want:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
var mySlen = myStyles.length;

for (var a=0; mySlen > a; a++) {
	try {
		alert("Paragraph style " + myStyles[a].name + " " + myStyles[a].basedOn.name);
	} catch (e) {	alert("Paragraph style " + myStyles[a].name + " undefined");	}
}

I don't know why you made the big construction when you can get the name of the basedOn with no extra effort. But that could be me.
I have inserted a try-catch because you get an error when you take a basedOn of a root paragraph style.

Greetz,
Glen
