I'm programming for InDesign in VB.Net, which is similar but not
identical to scripting in Vbscript. It seems like I ought to be able to
code the same GREP search I could use in ID's Find GREP tab to find
matching patterns one at a time, copy them to the clipboard, and then
write them sequentially to a text file. But I've been playing around
with it for a couple of hours and I can't seem to figure out how. There
are darn few references online for using VB.Net to do stuff with ID.

Isn't there some way to script (either with VB or JS) so that the GREP
find goes to the first instance, then allows you to copy it and do
something with it before going on to the next? Experiments showed that
if I included ChangeGrepPreferences it would go through and change every
single instance of the found pattern to whatever I specified in
ChangeTo. Not what I had in mind...
