How to select a row in a table from cursor position

Hi,

This is probably simple, but I can’t find how.

I need a snippet that will select and entire row from the location of the insertion of the cursor. Similar to the InDesign «Select Row» command.

Sorry for the newbie question.

Hi Jean-Claude

function selectRow(s) {
    s = s || app.selection[0];
    if (!s) {
        return 'no selection';
    }
    while (s.constructor !== Cell){
        s = s.parent;
        if (s.constructor === Application) {
            return 'no cell found';
        }
    }
    s.parentRow.select();
}
selectRow();
