Find Unconditional text

Please describe in more detail what you are doing (or trying to do).

1. There is nothing wrong with this line:

app.findTextPreferences.appliedConditions = NothingEnum.NOTHING;

.. so you must have done something wrong. But it appears this has nothing to do with your request, as I initially understood that you were attempting to

.. find a selected text which is not applied with any condition

2. The property 'appliedConditions' of any text is, per http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5.5js_html/idcs5.5js/pc_Text.html#appliedConditions, an "array of conditions". This is different from simple text properties such as Font, Size, and Color, because you can apply more than a single condition to any text object.

3. However, when you have a range of text with mixed text attributes, you cannot reliably check "its applied condition name" -- just as you cannot check with a single command if mixed text contains both a Regular and Italic font style.

So, as always when dealing with mixed text attributes, you have to check its textStyleRanges.

This simple example shows the conditions that are applied to a selected text, including "Unconditional" -- adjust to your needs.

tsr = app.selection[0].textStyleRanges;
allConditions = {};
for (i=0; i<tsr.length; i++)
{
if (tsr.appliedConditions.length == 0)
  allConditions.Unconditional = true;
else
  for (j=0; j<tsr.appliedConditions.length; j++)
   allConditions[tsr.appliedConditions.name] = true;
}
alert (allConditions.toSource());
