I have a indesign files with texts and tables in 20 pages. The document is a references catalog. I need to get all reference and in what page there are. All result save in a text file.

I think that the best mode is looking a reference with grep, but i don´t know how to make with  tables and get the content.

Please, could you help me?

The structure of references is /d/d/d/./d/d/d/./d/d/d

When i run this script in only textframe go on, but if i have table, give me attachment error

Thank very much.

Bye

Miguel
