Hi Vetha,

Is this you need?

var doc = app.activeDocument,


    _paragraphs = doc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();


  


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


{


        if(_paragraphs.lines[-1].words.length == 1)


        {


                alert(_paragraphs.lines[-1].contents);


            }


    }

Regards,

Chinna

    Hi Vetha,

    By combine Chinna and hasvi script, your requirement is completed.

    Even though I create a script for your better output.

    As you are beginner, so I use alert in the provided script.

    Coding is below:

    var myParas = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
    

    alert(myParas.length)
    

    

    for(i=0; i<myParas.length; i++)
    

    {
    

       if(String(myParas.lines[-1].contents).match(/^\r/) != null)
    

        {
    

          continue;
    

         }
    

        if(myParas.lines[-1].characters.length<5)
    

        {
    

            app.select(myParas.lines[-1]);
    

            alert(myParas.lines[-1].contents)
    

            }
    

        }
