Hi,

Please any one help me on this.

Hi,

I think the following code will work

words = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().words.everyItem().getElements();

for(i=0; i<words.length; i++)

{

    word = words;

    if(word.fontStyle=="Bold")

    {

        // Your statement;

    }

}

[Trevor:]

app.findTextPreference.fontStyle = "Bold"

myWhatEver.findText()

Same applies for findGrepPreference etc.

Just saw the previous suggestion.

It is normally (almost always) not a good idea to loop through contents when it can be avoided by useing findGrep and the like as it is much much slower

Hi,

   Thanks for your respose.  I used the below code as you said, but it shows the below error as in Image.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findTextPreference.fontStyle = "Bold"

var boldCont = myDoc.findText();

alert(boldCont.length)

for(var cnt = 0 ; cnt < boldCont.length; cnt ++)

{

var selCont = boldCont[cnt]

selCont.select();

alert(selCont.contents+"\n"+app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].contents.length);

}

Hi,

There is a typo:

app.findTextPreference.fontStyle = "Bold";

should be

app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
