Search for bookmark

Question

How can I search through my list of bookmarks and assign a JavaScript action to the one I am looking for?

If I run the following script:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++){
console.println(this.bookmarkRoot.children.name);
}

I get the top level of my bookmarks but not the bookmarks nested under these.

Console shows:

Schematic Tools - Volume 1

Schematic Tools - Volume 2

Here is what my bookmarks look like:

I am needing to look for specific bookmark names and assign different JavaScript functions to them.

So something like this is what I am looking for:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++){
if (this.bookmarkRoot.children.name == "V1 - 021 (Orange)"){
cExpr: "oneTwoOne();"
}
if (this.bookmarkRoot.children.name == "V2 - 032 (Red)"){
cExpr: "zeroThreeTwo();"
}
}

How do I search for the nested bookmark and assign it my desired function?

Any tips would be appreciated!

Look at the children of the children:for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++) {  var bk = this.bookmarkRoot.children; for (var j = 0; j < bk.children.length; j++) {  console.println(bk.children.name);  }}

You need to add a line to check that bk is defined, since you have top level bookmarks without children
