script : how to confirm that the pathitem is a dashed line?

Hi everyone,

my requirement is to delete pathitems that is dashed line, but how do I determine if an item is dashed ? thanks

Correct answer TySprice

try {

    alert(String(app.activeDocument.selection[0].strokeDashes.length > 0));

}catch(e) {
    //Do nothing, invalid object selected
}

Here is some code that will alert “true” if the first selected object has a dashed stroke and “false” if the stroke is not dashed.
