More than 3 hyphen

[Sen.Soft]

Hi anyone can help me on this, We have some set pages on that. Each page should have only 3 hyphen is allowed. If more than three hyphen it will need to shows an alert with the page number.

Example : Page : 33 have 5 hyphen then the alert shows : Page 33 have more hyphen.

How to highlight continue 3 line end hyphen-nit word

[Sen.Soft]

hi thanks for the reply, but in a page only 3 hyphen is allowed, whether they  come together (line by line) or any where in the page.

Example :

1st hyphen comes in 4th line.

2nd hyphen comes in 8th line.

3rd hyphen comes in 19th line.

If 4th hyphen comes in 20th line or any. Need to show alert as 'Page contain more than 3 hyphen'.

Just to start.. try and modify as you need..

var doc = app.activeDocument,    
    mystories = doc.stories;    
    var myarray=[];
for(var i=0;i<mystories.length;i++)    
{    
        var myline = mystories.lines;    
        for(var j=0;j<myline.length;j++)    
        {    
                if(myline.words[-1].lines.length >=2)  
                {  
                    myarray.push(myline.words[-1])
                    }  
            }    
    }  
if(myarray.length>3){
 alert(myarray.length+" Hyphens in Page: " +doc.pages[0].name)  
}
else{ alert("No Error")}
