One trivial approach to most problems in this league is to full text search the SDK folder.

Fire up CodeWarrior or whatever you prefer, Cmd+Option+F, choose SDK folder, headers only, case insensitive, entire words off. "overrides" is already an excellent keyword. As you're looking for attributes, file names that include "Attribute" are the best candidates.

You were clear. That's what my script does, but not in the context of a plug-in. I just thought that it might help. Sorry if I wasted your time.

Maybe i didn't explain my question clear enough.

What i want to do is to create a plug in to treat document. And i want to get the paragraph style information, character style information and the overrides on the text.

I used some indesign interfaces to get the para style and char style for the paragraph and the character, but i need also the override on the paragraph and the character.

I dont know what is the way to get the information about the override.

Best regards!
