[Johnwhite]

Hi experts,

my script like this:

var file = new File("~/Desktop/Book contents and page number.txt");
for(var i = 0; i < app.selection.length; i++)  {
    if (app.selection.hasOwnProperty ( "baseline" )) {
    myContents = app.selection.contents;
    WriteToFile(file, myContents);
    }
    else if (app.selection.constructor.name == "Cell") {
    myCellCeontents = app.selection.cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().contents;
    myCellCeontents += "\r";
    WriteToFile(file, myCellCeontents);
    }
else exit ();
}
        
function WriteToFile(file, text) 
{
 file.encoding = "UTF-8";
 file.open("w");
 file.write(text);
 file.close();
 file.execute();
 }

for report my selection contents.

Hi John,

Change the else if code to the following

else if (app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Cell") { 
    myCellCeontents = app.selection[0].cells.everyItem().texts.everyItem().contents;
    WriteToFile(file, myCellCeontents.join("\n")); 
}
