Try the following

if(app.selection[0].findHyperlinks () != "")
 alert("Is a hyperlink")
else
 alert("Not a hyperlink")

Hi Philou,

do you mean selected text? Or found text? Then work on with Manan's suggestion.

The result of findHyperlinks() is an array of found hyperlinks.

 

However, you have to be careful what exactly is selected or found.

I did not test that, but I could imagine that the same hyperlink can be found more than one time.

Why? Because findHyperlinks() is not a method of superclass Texts, but comes with:

Character | Word | Line | TextColumn | Paragraph | TextStyleRange | InsertionPoint

 

Certainly this point is worth to explore…

 

Regards,
Uwe Laubender

    Thank you to all of you,


    my problem was the following in a document with underlined text (with 2690 hyperlink) so sertaint was just signed.


    I assume that the hyperLink information has been lost.

    I had selected the underlined text and checked if the text was indeed a link. I actually came across some "findHyperlinks" command, after some research, Manan confirms the command. Thank you.

    here is the script. simple and with probably a lot of things changed ... (a little in a hurry)

    ---------

    Merci à vous tous,

    mon probmème était le suivant dans un document avec du texte souligné (avec 2690 hyperlink) donc sertaint etait juste soiligné. je supose que les information d'hyperLink ont été perdu.

    Je davais selectioné le textes souligné et verifié si se texte était bien un lien.

    Je suis effectivement tombé sur certte commende "findHyperlinks", après quelque recherche, Manan confirme la commade Merci.

    voici le script. simple et avec probalement beaucoup de chose à changé (un peu dans l'urgence)

    var leDoc = app.activeDocument;

    leMain();


    function leMain() {

    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING; // mise à zero du Find
    with (app.findGrepPreferences){

    underline = true;
    } // fin

    var lesRecherche = leDoc.findGrep(true); // True??
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;

    if (lesRecherche.length == 0) ErrorExit("Pas de resulta de la recherche.", true);
    for (var f = 0; f < lesRecherche.length; f++) {
    var laRecherche = lesRecherche[f];
    try {
    var lelien = laRecherche.findHyperlinks()[0]; // possition ou insertion
    }

    catch (erreur)

    {

    if(laRecherche.underline == true){
    //$.writeln('yes');
    laRecherche.underline = true;
    laRecherche.underlineColor = app.activeDocument.colors.item("erreur_Lien"); //corr
    laRecherche.underlineGapColor = app.activeDocument.swatches.item("None");
    laRecherche.underlineGapOverprint = false;
    laRecherche.underlineGapTint = 100;
    laRecherche.underlineOffset = -3;
    laRecherche.underlineOverprint = false;
    laRecherche.underlineTint = 100;
    laRecherche.underlineWeight = 10;
    }
    }
    }
    }

    Merci

      Hi Manan,

       

      That only means there's an (or more) hyperlink(s) in the selection!  😉
