How To Determine The Named Range From Position In Google Docs Through Google Apps Script

I am looking at a way to determine the named range in Google docs through Google Apps Script for the current cursor position. Is there anyway to do that? Context: I am marking a ra

Solution 1:

var cursor = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getCursor();

cursor is a "Position".

A "Position" can tell you several things, for example the element which holds the position. Be careful: The thinking of a position is quite opposite: A position cannot contain other elements. A position is contained within an element.

So i think you could search your named ranges for this element:

cursor.getElement()

You have to iterate through your ranges, i think and if there is a match ... bingo.

Let me know if this helps.
