Yeah, thanks,
that's what I am trying already...
but the issue is, that I might not know how many groups in groups in groups there were in the document...
and it is some pain in the a.. to get them all out into clean text data that would have to be transferred into a database...
After my tests I assume that it would be the best way to ungroup first.
But maybe there is any other hint here in the list?

Try this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
   tell document 1
        set TF to {}
                set end of TF to id of text frames --of document
                set end of TF to id of text frames of groups
            return TF
       end tell
end tell

Hello Scripters,

I am creating a script that analyses ID-Docs when opening them. (That was the question about the event listener)
The docs being processed appear to be frequently containing groups of text frames.
As I found out, text frames inside groups are not recognized by terms like
        set TF to id of text frames of document 1

Is there any possibility to get the texts and/or tables of text frames without ungrouping?

Tia, demski
