Quark Object Reference HELP


  • Subject: Quark Object Reference HELP

set RefText to (item 3 of ListOfReferences as
reference)

(*
a single reference from the list looks like this:
text from character 313 to character 316 of story 22
of document "SPR07B2_C_MM_4041_102" of application
"QuarkXPress"
*)

set theAnswer to RefText as text

--gives me   #102
 ------------------------------------------
(*
so my question is:

How can I parse out the object reference so that I can
collect the text from the object reference plus the
next 15 characters in the story.

I can’t get the actual text of the reference into a
variable to work on.

What I want to do is :
Set StoryNumber to story  (22)
Set StartCharacter to from character (313)
Set EndCharacter to character (316)

How do I do it?

Thanks
Oakley
