only selected anchored objects

[valselice2]

Goodmorning everyone,

having no experience with scripts, I apologize for perhaps stupid questions but I can't do the most trivial things:

to find all the anchored objects I made this script:

var story = app.selection [0] .parentStory;

var anchoredItems = story.pageItems.everyItem (). getElements ();

for (var n = 0; n <anchoredItems.length; n ++) {

........................

......................

};

but I could not understand how to do, if I select only a few lines of text, to find only the anchored objects related to the selection?

Thanks for your help

Could it be shared as text message?

[Laubender]

// When text is selected:
var anchoredItems = app.selection[0].allPageItems;

Loop the result array.

That will even catch items in selected text that contains a table with graphic cells or anchored items in text cells.
