It´s possible to make a script that writes a table with all symbols instances count ? how difficult it would be?

moving to the new Forums ruined all existing scripts, try this version

var main = function() { 

 

var doc; 

 

if ( !app.documents.length ) { 

alert("This scripts needs an open document !"); 

return; 

} 

 

 

doc = app.activeDocument; 

 

var symbols = doc.symbolItems, n = symbols.length, nSymbol, db = {}, arr = []; 

 

while ( n-- ) { 

nSymbol = symbols[n].symbol; 

db[ nSymbol.name ]  = db[ nSymbol.name ] || 0; 

db[ nSymbol.name ]++; 

} 

 

 

for ( prop in db ) { 

arr.push ( prop+" : "+db[prop] ); 

} 

var result = doc.textFrames.add();

result.contents = ( "Result:\r"+arr.join("\r") );

result.top = 700;

result.left = 400;

redraw();

 

} 

 

 

main();

The updated script by Carlos when used on a Mac should work. Two things, if you use TextEdit on the Mac be sure when you save it it is Plain Text not RTF. Use .jsx as the extension.

      thank you very much !

      I made a little change in the script making illustrator to paste the results in a text frame, because I coulnd´t copy the text from the alert.

      var main = function() { 

       

      var doc; 

       

      if ( !app.documents.length ) { 

      alert("This scripts needs an open document !"); 

      return; 

      } 

       

       

      doc = app.activeDocument; 

       

      var symbols = doc.symbolItems, n = symbols.length, nSymbol, db = {}, arr = []; 

       

      while ( n-- ) { 

      nSymbol = symbols.symbol; 

      db[ nSymbol.name ]  = db[ nSymbol.name ] || 0; 

      db[ nSymbol.name ]++; 

      } 

       

       

      for ( prop in db ) { 

      arr.push ( prop+" : "+db[prop] ); 

      } 

      var result = doc.textFrames.add();

      result.contents = ( "Result:\r"+arr.join("\r") );

      result.top = 700;

      result.left = 400;

      redraw();

       

      } 

       

       

      main(); 

      I´ll try to refine a bit to make a table, but it works anyway.

      Thank you !
