script for print (show) text of text frame on the alert

Hi @ashish25786013lca1 ,

did you try my suggestion from March 2018?

A variation on this:

// ExtendScript (JavaScript) code
// Let's pretend the text frame is selected by the user:

var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var textOfTextFrame = textFrame.texts[0];
// Select the text, not the text frame:
textOfTextFrame.select();
// Copy the selected text to the clipboard:
app.copy();
// Alert the contents of the text:
alert( textOfTextFrame.contents );

Did I miss something?

@shahriara7551080 wasn't very clear what the script should do.

Hi shahriara7551080 ,

how do you like to address your text frame in the document?

Do you like to select the text frame? Or do you know that there is only one text frame in the document? Or on a distinct page? Or does it have a special name or a label…?

Whatever you do to reach the text frame, assign it to a variable.

Let's pretend the variable name is simply textFrame, then you could alert the contents like that using ExtendScript (JavaScript):

// Let's pretend the text frame is selected by the user:
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
alert( textFrame.texts[0].contents );
