Thanks csm_phil for your interest... see my below code:
if(app.documents.length>0)
    myDoc=app.activeDocument;
    var myFoundchar=new Array();
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences=     NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences.fontStyle="Italic"
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat ="[\\l\\u].+?( v\. ).+" //"(.+?(v\.).+)";
var myResults = myDoc.findGrep();
for (var i = 0; i < myResults.length; i++)
        alert(myResults[i].contents);
    app.findGrepPreferences=     NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat =", \\d{1,}.+?\\d{4}?\\) ";
    var mySearch = myDoc.findGrep();
    app.select(mySearch[0].insertionPoints[0]);
    alert(mySearch[0].contents);
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
alert("Done");
here i am trying the fetch the Table of cases, example find results are
Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Camp, 124 N.J. Eq. 403, 407 (E. & A. 1938)
Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Camp, 124 N.J. Eq. 403, 408 (E. & A. 1938)
Gramatan Nat’l Bank & Trust Co. v. Backman, 30 N.J. Super. 349 (App. Div. 1954)
So, the 2nd search mysearch always giving first line output above.           , 124 N.J. Eq. 403, 407 (E. & A. 1938)
If i use the  mySearch[i].contents sometimes it doesn't give the correct result. Since, if gives if other than the case name ends with , and digits. It makes the result totally wrong.
Thanks,
