Applescript: Working with text

$
0
0

My script finds blocks of text which are have the character style "CS-Descriptor":

 

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

set applied character style of find text preferences to "CS-Descriptor"

          tell document 1

                    set myDescription to find text

          end tell

  end tell

 

This returns, e.g.

{text from character 1807 to character 1818 of storyid 21888 of documentid 19 of application "Adobe InDesign CS5"}

I now need to find more information about the immediate surroundings of this piece of text. Somehow I want to find out something like the paragraph number, or line number, so that I can find the first word of the line.

 

Can anyone help me get from 'text from character......' to 'paragraph 52 of text flow.... ' or something similar?

 

So far scripting ID my experience has been that it is much, much easier than I think! Fingers crossed it is again.

 

Sorry about Applescript - it seems to be dying out!
