cmoke73 It seems a quite tricky to get in one line.
So I would suggest don't get stuck there.
Try this:
...var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var groupStyleName = 'Formatgruppe 1';
var myStyleName = '"Menge"';
var myStyle = findGroupStyle(groupStyleName, myStyleName);
if(myStyle != null){
alert(myStyle.name);
}
else{
alert("Style does not exists !!!");
}
///////////////////////////////////
function findGroupStyle(groupStyleName, myStyleName){
for(var gp = 0; gp < myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(gro

Hi.
I forgot, that was the fourth trial. 
but thanks
And if I do this:
var myStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item('Formatgruppe 1').paragraphStyles.itemByName(""Menge"");
... the word "Menge" becomes part of the code and on the left side and the right side are two/two quoted nothings.
yes, i´m afraid it is like you said. 
Sometimes I´m between two chairs: ID-users, who didn´t know what they do and the little bugs made by Adobe or for lack of interest not programmed functions. But it is not so tragic, only a pity
Thank you all
by the way:
- stname = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item('Formatgruppe 1').paragraphStyles[0].name;
- alert (stname);
- var myStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item('Formatgruppe 1').paragraphStyles.item(stname);
- alert(myStyle.isValid);
It's a cool idea to prove that InDesign beats itself

Hi cmoke73 ,
yes. You can find a style or a style group where you are looking for one part of a name.
But first I suggest you'll see into the exact name of that style group and how it is exactly composed of glyphs.
Maybe there are some unusual glyphs used for the quotation marks ( or whatever the ones are ).
Run the following code that will add a new text frame to the first page of your document.
The contents of the frame are all names for all style groups in the root of your paragraph styles panel.
The language for the text is set to "No Language".
var doc = app.documents[0];
var newTextFrame = doc.pages[0].textFrames.add
(
{
geometricBounds : [0,0,100,100] ,
parentStory : { appliedLanguage : doc.languages[0] } ,
contents : doc.paragraphStyleGroups.everyItem().name.join("\r")
}
);
After that inspect the glyphs that make the quotes.
Here a sample screenshot from the result I did with a document that uses some strange kind of quotes in the names:
As you can see from my Story Editor Window and compare this with the look of the names in my paragraph styles panel some look similar enough, but in fact are not. Otherwise I could not have created the style group.
The third and the first one listed look quite the same.
But apparently they are not!
Test my code snippet and come back if you found the right unicode value(s) for the two quotes.
FWIW: Both quotation marks could be different and could be composed of one or two glyphs.
If so list the unicode values for every single glyph surrounding Menge.
Regards,
Uwe
EDIT: Removed one line of the code that was not necessary.
