Find with label?

Question

1. Is there a way to find pageItems with labels that match a string with javascript? I think you can i Applescript say something like with label like 'test'.

2. If a have the same label on multiple pageItems and select them with app.documents.pageItems.item('test'); i dont get them as an array but as one object of some sort. Is it possible to loop through them?

You can get them as array like so:app.documents[0].pageItems.item('test').getElements();This should for CS3/4, but I read on the forum that CS5 works differently with labels.Kasyan

Bear in mind that if you attempt to use .getElements() to convert the result of a call like:


app.documents[0].pageItems.item('test')

into an array, you'll get an "Object is invalid" error if there are no such objects.

There are various ways of working around this.
