flowing text with InData for InDesign

I am trying to write a script to flow text from a text file with 100 or so records into an InDesign Template.  I have the basic open script working with one record (from a text file) and it saves with it's original name.  I want to import all the records creating separate pages for each record, and then create a unique filename for each save.  It would be cool to parse the file name (to be saved with the InDesign layout) from one of the text frames (columns) of each record.

My scripting skills are primitive, and I cannot find anything on the InData sight like any other sample scripts, that repeat.  I cannot figure out how to script a line copy from texedit.

tell application "TextEdit"
    activate
    set myText to paragraph of document "fmp.csv"
end tell

returns the entire file, when I only want to copy one "line" at a time to the clipboard.
