    Please decide which tag is the correct one! Do you mean the GREP-search-dialog inside InDesign or AppleScript or JavaScript (ESTK)? Using the right tags helps us who want to help you... – ShooTerKo Apr 07 '15 at 12:32

Just an idea: try searching for whitespace between words. This can be done via regular expressions, either with grep or with javascript.

To do this, you have to search for "This\s+is\s+Indesign\s+application". Each "\s+" means: one or more whitespace characters (blanks, newlines, tabs). Code snippet for javascript:

string.search(/This\s+is\s+Indesign\s+application/);

If this does not help, you should provide more information of what you've done so far.
