You don't have to count the number of ;'s. The function convertToTable will never create more columns than needed.

thankyou your help.

but i want to set colnum wifth.

different colnum number different width...

example: if ";" x3

col1 width = "90 mm" col2 = "30mm" col3 = "30mm"

of ";" x 4

col1 width = "75mm" cold 2 width = "25mm" col 3 width = "25mm" col 4 width = "25mm"

because i have many script 1 for 3 column, script 2 for 4 column.

how can i integrate to one script.

Hi,

Could you find a rule when calculating columns width?

Could it be: 1st column is 3 times wider then the rest?

If your table width is a textFrame width - all the rest is mathematics

and can be done in one loop.
