Is there a way to tell which page number the textframe exists in?

Hi SundeepPidugugu,

if you are looking for the text frames ( or text paths ) of found text ( e.g. using methods findText() or findGrep() or other means )  see into the parentTextFrames array of the text.

In case all the text is in overset the array is of length 1, but if you are looking what's inside that array you'll see that parentTextFrames[0] will return undefined.

So be careful when asking for parentPage of a parentTextFrame of a text object.

FWIW: Even if the text is visible in the layout parentPage could return null if the text container, text frame or text path, is on the pasteboard.

That's a roundabout way to check it. Just test nextTextFrame :

txtFrameObj = app.selection[0];
if (txtFrameObj.nextTextFrame && txtFrameObj.parentPage == txtFrameObj.nextTextFrame.parentPage)
	alert ('same page');
