How do I distinguish between selecting partial text or selecting the entire story?

Question

Hi everyone.If I select partial text, I will clear the preference for the selected text.If all text (the whole story) is selected, priority will be given to clearing all objects under the story.I found that I selected the entire story and only selected some of the text,The results of alert (app. selection [0]. constructor. name) are allText.How can I distinguish between these two states?thank you.

app.selection[0].parentStory.contents.length would give you thelength of the parentStory

The 1st though that comes to mind is check the character count. Get the parentStory and its length and match it with the selection length. If it matches you have the story selected, else it is subset selection
