I've found this old post:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-for-closing-the-open-paths-on-illustrator-cc2015/m-p/7428067

In the last answer there is a script that closes all the open paths in the current document [CIT].

I'll try it

Good find! You don't even have to select anything for the script to close the paths.

They are all paths with 3 points? Or are they each 2 paths?

If the former: apply a fill. Select them all

So 2 paths make a triangle? Then my suggestion can not work.

Can you please upload a sample file?
