Best way to export text from InDesign?

[Erin Benjamin]

Hello,
I came accross this post and it’s exactly what I need but i keep getting this error.

JavaScript Error!

Error Number: 25
Error String: Expected: ;
Line: 53
Source: myStory =
myDocument.stories.item(myCounter);
Offending Text: myStory

I am running InDesign CS3 on Mac OSX 10.5.8

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have difficulty with javascript and used your script. I get the best results! Thanks a
lot!

Ps. sorry for my english!

This solution isn’t as sexy as a script, but I export my InDesign docs as PDFs, open the PDF in Acrobat Pro, and then export again as a text file. Or you can save as text through the free Acrobat Reader. You may have to tweak the final text file slightly depending on how many stories you have per page, but it works for me.

This script worked fine even with CS6. Thank you!
