how can we split text from suggested color to individual text frame?

[j.khakase]

Hello Friends,

Any idea how can we split text from suggested color to individual text frame. 1st and 2nd bullet has 2 points, 3rd one is single point. that need to be indivisual text frame. any trick or scipt

[femkeblanco]

Can you clarify what should precipitate the split?  The color of the text?  A specific sentence fragment? The number of the paragraph?

Expecting to indivisual text frame like this 

[femkeblanco]

Yes, but how should the script know to make the splits at these particular places, and not any other places? 

[j.khakase]

I think Script should know the applied color at line to identify the place of starting with paragraph and then need to find next line of same color with counting the paragraph

This should split a text frame at the beginning of a paragraph, if the color of the first character of the paragraph is the same as the first character of the first paragraph. Not extensively tested.

// select 1 textFrame
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var sel = doc.selection[0];
var targetColor = sel.paragraphs[0].characters[0].fillColor;
var textFont = sel.textRange.textFont;
var size = sel.textRange.size;
var justification = sel.textRange.justification;

// divide text
var quotients = [];
var lines = 0, contents = "", colors = [];
for (var i = sel.paragraphs.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
    try {
        lines = sel.paragraphs[i].lines.length + lines;
        if (sel.paragraphs[i].contents == "") continue;
        contents = sel.paragraphs[i].contents + "\n" + contents;
        subcolors = [];
        for (var j = 0; j < sel.paragraphs[i].characters.length; j++) {
            subcolors.push(sel.paragraphs[i].characters[j].fillColor);
        }
        subcolors.push(undefined);  // color corresponding to linebreak
                                    // null crashes Illustrator
        colors = subcolors.concat(colors);
        if (areEqual(sel.paragraphs[i].characters[0].fillColor, targetColor)) {
            var quotient = {};
            quotient.lines = lines;
            quotient.contents = contents;
            quotient.colors = colors;
            quotients.push(quotient);
            lines = 0, contents = "", colors = [];
        }
    } catch (e) {
    }
}

// re-draw textFrames
var precedingHeight = sel.geometricBounds[1];
for (var i = quotients.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
    var lines = quotients[i].lines;
    var height = lines * sel.textRange.characterAttributes.leading;
    var rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle(
        precedingHeight, sel.geometricBounds[0], sel.width, height);
    precedingHeight -= height;
    var textFrame = doc.textFrames.areaText(rect);
    textFrame.contents = quotients[i].contents;
    textFrame.textRange.textFont = textFont;
    textFrame.textRange.size = size;
    textFrame.textRange.justification = justification;
    for (var j = 0; j < textFrame.characters.length; j++) {
        if (quotients[i].colors[j] == undefined) continue;
        else textFrame.characters[j].fillColor = quotients[i].colors[j];
    }
}

sel.remove();

function areEqual(o1, o2) {
    for (var k in o1) {
        if (o1[k] != o2[k]) return false;
    }
    for (var k in o2) {
        if (o1[k] != o2[k]) return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Awesome! Perfectly working as I expect the seperation of text frames, Thank you so much @femkeblanco , I just found one issue its changing the font weight, I think it should be consistent. but whatever you have done its amezing, I didn't found such script on the net. 

[femkeblanco]

I can't explain this, as the script copies the text's original font and font size.  What is actually changing, the font style (e.g. to bold) or the font size? 

[j.khakase]

Yes, then Normal text which was in Light weight turn to Bold
