GREP Search “Selection” or “Story” ExtendScript ? When looking for Searching via “Selection” or “Story” through GREP using a script — it expands into this convoluted rabbit hole, when you would imagine it would be much simpler .The short and sweet script, below, works but affects the entire document. I attempted placing “selection” in various places, and tried creating variables to point to various iterations of app.pageItem.selection , app.selection , etc . To no avail.I commented out the last line I attempted.As always any help is very much appreciated.Thank you.//reset GREP preferencesapp.findGrepPreferences=app.changeGrepPreferences=null;//app.findChangeGrepOptions = app.pageItem.selectionapp.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\r";app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo=",\s";app.activeDocument.changeGrep();app.findGrepPreferences=app.changeGrepPreferences=null;Looking for the javascript syntax that affects Find/Change > GREP > Search > Stories (and/or selection)
