How to export a list of links from indesign cc 2020

Hi @eriks3 , You could add a sorting function to @Mike Bro ’s script—this would be alphanumeric:

doc = app.activeDocument;
myDocFolder = app.activeDocument.filePath;
var fileName = doc.name.replace(/.indd/, "");
var linkNames = fileName + '_Links-list.txt';

var file = new File(myDocFolder.fsName + "/" + linkNames);

var myLinkName = new Array();
myLinks = app.activeDocument.links;
for(var i=0; i < myLinks.length; i++){
    myLinkName.push(myLinks[i].name);
}
myLinkName.sort(sortAlphaNum);

var mylist = myLinkName;
var myNewlist = (String(mylist).replace(/,/g, '\r'));


file.encoding = 'UTF-8';
file.open('w');
file.write(myNewlist);
file.close();
alert('Done creating links list!');


function sortAlphaNum(a, b) {
    var reA = /[^a-zA-Z]/g;
    var reN = /[^0-9]/g;
    var aA = a.replace(reA, "");
    var bA = b.replace(reA, "");
    if (aA === bA) {
        var aN = parseInt(a.replace(reN, ""), 10);
        var bN = parseInt(b.replace(reN, ""), 10);
        return aN === bN ? 0 : aN > bN ? 1 : -1;
    } else {
        return aA > bA ? 1 : -1;
    }
}

Thank you Mike.

Nice one!

Both ways work – both have pros and cons.

But this is great help.

Thank you.

Good stuff.

Thank you Rob.
