You asked a similar question in https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/alert-contents/m-p/13687714, and the response 'What exactly do you mean?' still stands, because your query here is still mystifying.

But here's a shot. The place a text frame's content in an alert window, do this:

// Select a text frame, then

alert (app.selection[0].contents);
