Selecting particular range of style using script

Question

HI All,
Can anyone suggest me that how we can select the range of text using script.
I am having some different para styles say for eg., PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4...........
I may applyed these styles in some jumping order but except PS1, now I want to select paragraphs with applied style PS1 to stop before the next appearence of PS1 style.
Like: In a document Para 1, 10, 14, 25 were applied with PS1, so the selection should go in the way like 1-9, 10-13, 14-24 and so on
Regards,
love_all

"The" index of a paragraph is nothing special, it's the index of the first character of that paragraph inside its parent story. In particular, it does NOT tell you "this is the 5th paragraph" or something like that.
This is because "Paragraph" is an artificial construct inside "Text", not a truly existing first class object. Same as "Line", "Word", "Character", and indeed, any text selection at all.
Since you already have a "found text" array, "the index" of the nth entry's paragraph -- with the constraint described above -- can be simply found by using foundText[n].paragraphs[0].index (the index of the first character of your foundText is foundText[n].index).
If you DO need to know the nth number of the paragraph, search this forum. I think Peter Kahrel answered to a post to answer that exact question.
