Dear Chang,

for em dash with hyphenate word try this code

app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = true;

app.findGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\—(.*?)-" ;

var myFound = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

try{

for (var i = 0; i < myFound.length; i++)

{

if(app.selection[0].words[-1].lines[0]){

}

alert("number of word found:" + [1+i])}

catch(e){}

Thanks for your reply.

It searches between paragraphs too. I don't want to search between paragraphs.

Need to chek at the end of line only.

Chang.
