Hi Ks,

Don't misunderstand me but you are used to ask questions that certainly show you are willingful to write code but in the same time reveal that you obviously spare yourself the effort of understanding the InDesign Object Model.

In your case, you are calling a contents property on a paragraphStyle instance. Are you sure this object has this property ? If you get used to work with great tools such as

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Table of Contents

or

InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)

You will save our mutual time.

Once again, I don't want to be rude, just helpful.
