How to get substring from Indesign grep search

Hi Gopal,

Please see below code:

var myDoc =  app.activeDocument;

app.findGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\{\\{(artref|boxref|tableref) (.+)( ?)(.+)?\\}\\}";

found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

alert (found.length)

var new_grep = new Array()

for(a=0; a<found.length; a++)

{

new_grep = found.contents.replace(/[{,}, ,artref,boxref,tableref]/g,"")

}

Hi Gopal,

With below code you can easily store your data in array.

Hope it will help you.

var myDoc =  app.activeDocument;

app.findGrepPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\{\\{(artref|boxref|tableref) )(.+)( ?)(.+)?(?=\\}\\})";

found = app.activeDocument.findGrep ();

alert (found.length)

Cheers,

Shonky
