How to get numbered list format value in a paragraph style to populate a CSV?

[prdh67]

I have a script that pushes the values of all paragraph style settings in an InDesign document to a CSV, but I can't get the numbered list format to export:

case ListType.NUMBERED_LIST:

arr.push("Numbered");

switch (ps.NumberingFormat) {

case NumberingStyle.ARABIC:

arr.push("1, 2, 3, 4...");

break;

case NumberingStyle.SINGLE_LEADING_ZEROS:

arr.push("01, 02, 03...");

break;

case NumberingStyle.UPPER_ROMAN:

arr.push("I, II, III, IV...");

break;

case NumberingStyle.LOWER_ROMAN:

arr.push("i, ii, iii, iv...");

break;

case NumberingStyle.UPPER_LETTERS:

arr.push("A, B, C, D...");

break;

case NumberingStyle.LOWER_LETTERS:

arr.push("a, b, c, d...");

break;

default:

arr.push("Not found");

}

No matter the numbered list format chosen in the paragraph style, I get "Not found" populated in the CSV. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.

Example:

Paragraph Style Options > Bullets and Numbering:

List Type: Numbers

Format: A, B, C, D...

What I'd expect in the CSV:

List type	List Type
Numbered	A, B, C, D...

What I get:

List type	Format
Numbered	Not found

Just get the value - it doesn't use enumerator - but returns it as a string.

I'm not doing Select...Case - yet it returns text values.

Maybe in ME / Japan version it will - so instead of default "Not found" - push the value.

break;
default:
arr.push(ps.NumberingFormat);
}

Or rather you should be using: 

ps.numberingFormat

or ps.numberingStyle

By @Stefan Rakete

numberingStyle is set of constants:

numberingFormat is a property of the "text".

Thank you so much!! I was way over complicating it! 

arr.push(ps.numberingFormat); // Number list format

returns exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it so much!

You are welcome. 

But you should keep all options in select..case - just in case 😉
