How to check if a flow contains a particular paragraph style?

Question

The script iterates through a doc and works on changing conditional tags in it but it does not factor in whether the paragraph style is "Anchor" i.e. whether it contains an Anchored Frame or not. How can I use the flow object to check if the paragraph style is "Anchor" or if the paragraph contains an Anchored Frame or not?

Working code is

var flow = active.FirstFlowInDoc

while(flow.ObjectValid())

{

// need an if condition here before calling the changeCondTagInPgf function

changeCondTagInPgf(flow,active)

flow = flow.NextFlowInDoc

}

The script should only call the ChangeCondTagInFlow() function if the paragraph style is "Anchor" or if it is/contains an Anchored Frame.

This post has the test to see if the paragraph contains an anchored frame:

How to check if a paragraph is/contains an anchored frame or not? if it is/does, apply/remove conditional tags on it?

You should be looping through paragraphs, not flows. To test for the Anchor paragraph format, you can use this:

if (pgf.Name === "Anchor") {
    // Do something here.
}

You can combine this with the function in the other post:

if ((pgf.Name === "Anchor") || (hasAnchoredFrame (pgf)) {
    // Do something here.
}
