    Hi, Steve, JScript has no concept of a foreach loop such as that prescribed in C#, I would use the approach of an old school for loop




    for( var i = 0; i < findResults.Items.Count; i++ ) {


      myItem = findResults.Items[ i ];


      // Proces myItem...


    }



    The closest approximation to foreach is the for..in loop but this iterates over the properties of an object so can produce unexpected results and needs to be used carefully and with the hasOwnProperty() method as well as other safe guards

You may find that some collection objects have their own iteration functions



e.g. 




    var iterator = app.window.blah.itemcollection.iterator();


    while (iterator.hasNext()) {


        Log.Message(iterator.next().nodeName);


    }



and so on. Check in the Object Browser if the object has these sorts of methods.
