How can I text out the group and throw this into the textframe script

[ahmetö66264486]

I want text out the group and throw this into the textframe but I can't. Please, help me. Thanks a lot.

You might want to ask in the InDesign Scripting forum:

You mean: extract text frames from group?

Take a look at this thread, there are good working samples.

Thanks. It works but I don't need that one. I wanna take out groups items not on the pasteboard. It should be on the same page that I have taken.

Thanks!

Don't forget it's Christmas soon and some bottles are over yet! … 

… If I understood what you mean, you have this:

As I saw, you seem to use a "condition"! … and you would like to get this!

For that, try this [just change the condition name! Here = "Test"]:

app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Extract Conditional Text! …");
function main()     
    {
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var myCondition = "Test";  
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
        app.findGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = [myCondition];  
        var myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
        var F = myFound.length;
        for (i = 0; i < F ; i++){
            var myF = myFound;
            myF.parent.texts.everyItem().appliedConditions = [];  
            if ( ( myP = myF.parentTextFrames[0].parent.parent ) instanceof Character )
            {
                myF.parent.texts.everyItem().move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myP);
                myP.contents = "\r";
            }
            else if ( ( myP = myF.parentTextFrames[0].parent ) instanceof Character )
            {
                myF.parent.texts.everyItem().move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myP);
                myP.contents = "";
            }
        }
    alert(F + " done!\r\rMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!\r\r(^/)")
   }

It's a simple Grep research based on your condition! …

What else! … Maybe a new toast!  Hips!

Thanks for everything. Happy Christmas. 😄

… It's not because The Force is a powerful ally that things seem to be so simple! …

… and, according to my master Yoda:

"Full of certainties you are, not a Jedi you'll become!"

This script new version is formidable because it preserves the styles applied!

app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Extract Conditional Text! …");
function main()     
    {
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
        myCondition = "Test";
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?-s).+";
        app.findGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = [myCondition];
        app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "\\r$0\\r";
        myDoc.changeGrep();
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?s).+";
        app.findGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = [myCondition];
        var myFound = myDoc.findGrep(),
        F = myFound.length;
        for (i = 0; i < F ; i++){
            var myF = myFound;
            myF.parent.texts.everyItem().appliedConditions = [];  
            if ( ( myP = myF.parentTextFrames[0].parent.parent ) instanceof Character  ||  ( myP = myF.parentTextFrames[0].parent ) instanceof Character )
            {
                myF.parent.texts.everyItem().move (LocationOptions.BEFORE, myP);
                myP.contents = "";
            }
        }
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^\\h*\\r";
        app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "";
        myDoc.changeGrep();
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    alert( F + " done!\r\rMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!\r\r(^/)" )
   }
