How do I "Remove Structure from Flow" in a Script

I would like to emulate the "Remove Structure from Flow" in a Script - I have found "FCodes.KBD_REMOVE_STRUCT" but I think that is only used to examine a keystroke in a script.

Thanks Russ.

I found the answer in the FDK Function Reference (as a Newbie in JavaScript this is the first time I have looked at it)

Open FrameMaker in non-structured format.

Use Constants.FS_FileIsStructured /Constants.FV_StripStructureAndOpen  pair in the Open parameters.

This will strip the Structure before opening the file.

HI bobsteamer,

You need KBD_STRIP_FLOWSTRUCTURE, as in:

var fcodes = [FCodes.KBD_STRIP_FLOWSTRUCTURE];

Fcodes(fcodes);

It will make you manually confirm the operation, though, just like the GUI. I'm not sure if there is a way around that.

    Hi Bob,

    I thought that might work too, but I didn't know if using the unstructured interface was an option for you. I'm glad you got it worked out.
