Get endnote number

Question

Hi, Does anyone know how to get the endnode number/letter used in the main text? This can be a number, letter, ...          var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var stories = myDoc.stories.everyItem().getElements();

for (var i = stories.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

var myStory = stories[i];

for (var j = 0; j < myStory.endnotes.length; j++) {
                  var myNote = myStory.endnotes[j];

var endnoteText = myNote.texts[0].contents;
                  var endnoteIndex = myNote.index;
                  //var endnoteNumber = myNote; //??

$.writeln("endnote text: " + endnoteText);
                  $.writeln("endnote index: " + endnoteIndex);
                  //$.writeln("endnote number: " + endnoteNumber);
            }
        }  Thanx

Unfortunately, unlike automatic paragraph numbering and text variables, there's no way reliably t obtain a footnote number as plain text (same goes for endnotes). If the 'numbers' are Arabic numbers you can use the for-loop counter to enumerate them -- though you'll have to take into account that numbering can restart in each story. If the 'numbers' are letters it gets trickier, you'll have to convert the counter values to numbers. And if the notes are numbered with symbols you'll have you hands full.
