while(len--){

var mBounds = mItem.geometricBounds;
var mX = getRound(mBounds[1],3);
var mY= getRound(mBounds[0],3);

Hi, Try this way ... (put this script in the folder 'Startup Scripts')
#targetengine "session"
app.addEventListener('afterOpen', function(myEvent) {
if (myEvent.target.constructor.name == 'Document') {
var doc = myEvent.target;
/* get started date */
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '(?<=started in )\\d{4}'; // search a string like started in 2010
//app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle= findparastyle; /* you can add paragraphe style as search criteria */
//app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle= findcharstyle; /* you can add character style as search criteria */
var mFind = doc.findGrep();
var mStartYear = parseInt (mFind[0].contents);
/* calculate experience */
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getFullYear();
var mExperienceYear = (n - mStartYear).toString();
/* set experience */
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\d{1,2}(?= years of experience)'; // search a string like 3 years of experience
//app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle= findparastyle; /* you can add paragraphe style as search criteria */
//app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle= findcharstyle; /* you can add character style as search criteria */
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = mExperienceYear;
doc.changeGrep();
}
}
)
Restart InDesign and open a document with a text frame contents "started in 2001 - 2 years of experience" Regards
