Get quads for word

Question

I would like to know how to get the coordinates for a word and found the following code example:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
var nPage = 75;
var nWord = 26;
// get quads for word
var qQuad = this.getPageNthWordQuads(nPage,nWord);
// convert quads to string
var sQuad = aQuad.toString();
console.println("Quad as sting: " + sQuad + "\n");
// convertsQuad string to an array
var aQuad = sQuad.split(",");
console.println("Elements in quad array: " + aQuad.length);
for (i = 0; i < aQuad.length; i++) console.println("element: " + i + " value: " + aQuad[i]);
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I tried to run the code in my Console, I got "undefined"
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Gilad,
Yes, I selected the entire code when I ran it.
Also, my file has 224 pages.
I found the problem with the code, however.
The following code should be:
var sQuad = qQuad.toString();
instead of:
var sQuad = aQuad.toString();
So the correct code is this:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
var nPage = 75;
var nWord = 26;
// get quads for word
var qQuad = this.getPageNthWordQuads(nPage,nWord);
// convert quads to string
var sQuad = qQuad.toString();
console.println("Quad as sting: " + sQuad + "\n");
// convertsQuad string to an array
var aQuad = sQuad.split(",");
console.println("Elements in quad array: " + aQuad.length);
for (i = 0; i < aQuad.length; i++);
console.println("element: " + i + " value: " + aQuad[i]);
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I run the code I get this:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Quad as sting: 646.343994140625,558.6859741210938,663.0668334960938,558.6859741210938,646.343994140625,5 50.3560791015625,663.0668334960938,550.3560791015625
Elements in quad array: 8
element: 0 value: 646.343994140625
element: 1 value: 558.6859741210938
element: 2 value: 663.0668334960938
element: 3 value: 558.6859741210938
element: 4 value: 646.343994140625
element: 5 value: 550.3560791015625
element: 6 value: 663.0668334960938
element: 7 value: 550.3560791015625
true
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now I would like to know why there are eight values.  Shouldn't there be only four? 
For instance, when I run, this code, I only get four numbers:
this.getField("Button1").rect;
Like this:
643.9056396484375,561.2030029296875,666.0845947265625,551.1866455078125
Which of the eight numbers would coordinate with the four numbers in the result of this.getField("Button1").rect; ?
Thanks
