Access the list of GREP searches with scripting

[TᴀW]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a way of accessing the list of saved GREP

searches in a document using JS?

Thanks,

Ariel

They are XML files located at:

Folder.userData.absoluteURI + "/Adobe/InDesign/Version 7.0-ME/en_GB/Find-Change Queries"

Of course the version would have to be changed according to what version of InDesign you would be using.

Thanks Fred.

I see that Peter Kahrel has a massive script called "Grep query manager"

and there he gets hold of the query file as follows:

var QueryFolder = app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder.parent.parent

+ "/Find-Change Queries/Grep/";

In fact, I see that there are two folders. One is the InDesign preset

GREP queries, and the other is the user-saved GREP queries (the one you

gave the path for).

Thanks,

Ariel

You're right. I don't know why I assumed you meant the user-saved ones.
