get master page by name with out prefix

[sreekarthikeyank]

Is this possible to access the master page via name without prefix.

Via scripting, sure. 

Edit: Adjusted the object name, thanks to Uwe. 

var getMasterByName = function(searchString, doc) {

    for (var i = 0; i < doc.masterSpreads.length; i++) {

         if (doc.masterSpreads[i].name.indexOf(searchString) >= 0) {

            return doc.masterSpreads[i];

    }

}

FWIW: There is no masterPages collection with Document.

But one could build an array:

var masterPagesArray =
app.documents[0].masterSpreads.everyItem().pages.everyItem().getElements();

Ack, did it on mobile without checking the DOM! I was just working on a master page script, too... Thanks, Uwe.
