Hi Jeremy

How about:
app.selection[0].rows.everyItem().getElements();

This should give you all your selected rows in an array, which you can then iterate through as needed.

Cheers

Hi Alex. Assuming the code (1B18244 in your example) follows a set pattern, you can use a simple GREP pattern to find it and add the suffix. It would look something like this:

Find what:
\d[A-Z]\d{5}

Change to:
$0-X

This finds a single digit (\d), followed by any capital letter ([A-Z]), followed by exactly 5 digits (\d{5}). It then takes the found string ($0) and adds the suffix (-X).

Possible alternative method… In your original question, you mentioned a character style. If every string you’re searching for has the same character style applied, I’d have thought you could also use this to find the string. This seems to work for your example (which has only 7 characters), but when I tried this with longer strings I got unpredictable results. The found string ($0) only grabbed the first part of each string, and the rest got chopped off. I have no idea why it works this way. Perhaps a bug? Or maybe someone else understands what’s going on here.

I had a similar issue, where a photo was creeping past the right edge of its frame in the exported PDF. For me, it only happened when all of these factors were combined:

1. The edge of the photo had zero (or close to zero) X offset (i.e. the left edge of photo and frame were aligned)

2. The exported PDF included crop and print marks

3. 'Crop Image Data to Frames' was checked.

I only figured out the last one after stumbling onto this thread via a Goodle search. Unchecking 'Crop Image Data to Frames' was the simplest solution.
