Hi everyone

Could someone please help me to correct my script:

var docs = app.documents;

for (var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--) 

        {

            var
myTarget = app.target[0]; 

if(myTarget instanceof InsertionPoint)

{myTarget.insertionPoints[0].underline=false;

                                            }

else if(myTarget instanceof Cell)

                                {for(i=0; i<myTarget.cells.length; i++)

{myTarget.cells.texts[0].select();

                                        app.selection[0].underline=false;

                                            }

                                        }

else if(myTarget instanceof Table)

                                {for(i=0; i<myTarget.cells.length; i++)

{myTarget.cells.texts[0].select();

app.selection[0].underline=false;

                                            }

              }

else{myTarget.underline=false;

                                }

                            }

Aim to clear the underline which in the inserpoint, cells,
tables, text.

For future questions:

Please do not use non-descriptive titles such as "Correct my script please", "Change script function", "Correct script"  or "Can you change script function?". Try to write a short, comprehensive title that describes the problem. Your older questions had better titles: "How can I set a point size for staticTexts", "How can find-change grep only on Masters", and so on. I guess you just became lazy because you got all the answers you were looking for.

Actually, the same goes for questions such as " can you make a script for ..." You are asking people to write up a script from scratch -- the forum is meant to help you, but not this way! At least try something yourself.

Also, please do not ever dump a script into your post and ask anyone to "fix it" -- the very least you could have done is tell what's wrong with it!

    Try this, the below code will sort out the empty cell problem:

    var myDocs = app.documents;
    

    for (var i = myDocs.length-1; i >= 0; i--)  
    

    {  
    

        for (s=0; s<myDocs.stories.length; s++)
    

        {
    

            for (t=0; t<myDocs.stories.tables.length; t++)
    

            {
    

                for (c=0; c<myDocs.stories.tables.cells.length; c++)
    

                {
    

                    if(myDocs.stories.tables.cells.contents == "" && myDocs.stories.tables.cells.texts[0].underline==true)
    

                    {
    

                        myDocs.stories.tables.cells.texts[0].underline=false;
    

                    }
    

                }
    

            }
    

        }
    

    }

    Have you provided the complete script, I think some lines are missing. If the provided code was complete one then why are you using app.documents for finding insertionpoints, tables, etc.

    How the code will recognize which underline needs to be removed, could you explain clearly.

    This may help you...

    var mySelection = app.selection[0];
    

    if(mySelection instanceof InsertionPoint)
    

    {mySelection.insertionPoints[0].underline=false;}
    

    else if(mySelection instanceof Cell)
    

    {for(i=0; i<mySelection.cells.length; i++){mySelection.cells.texts[0].select();app.selection[0].underline=false;}}
    

    else if(mySelection instanceof Table)
    

    {for(i=0; i<mySelection.cells.length; i++){mySelection.cells.texts[0].select();app.selection[0].underline=false;}}
    

    else{mySelection.underline=false;}
