Indesign script to copy from clipboard to story

Question

I know app.paste(); method dumps the contents of the clipboard at the spot where the cursor is currently. However, I want to define the location via a variable such as this:

myStory = app.activeDocument.stories[1];

And I want to dump the contents of the clipboard in that story as defined by the variable myStory. Is it possible? How?

Answer 1

I think you cant insert it into the story, but you can use insertionPoints like this:

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var ip = doc.stories[1].insertionPoints[0];
app.select(ip, SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH);
app.paste();
