Hi All

I am writing a script which can user to allow find, remove and skip dialog.

See my below JS code it is working but I can only get alert message not dialog.

Could anybody please help me out of this. Is it posible it works like a find & replace dialog box.

Please cooperate me.

Thanks,

Kerosk

myDialog = new Window("dialog", "MyFindDialog");
myDialog.myFnBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Find Next");
myDialog.myFnBtn.onClick = function()
{
myDialog.close(0);
}
myDialog.myRmBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Remove");
myDialog.myRmBtn.onClick = function()
{
myDialog.close(1);
}
myDialog.mySkBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Skip");
myDialog.mySkBtn.onClick = function()
{
myDialog.close(2);
}
//myDialog.center();
var myDlg = myDialog.show();
if(myDlg == 0)
{   
  EmptyTf= app.activeDocument.layers.item(0).textFrames;

               for (etf=0; etf<EmptyTf.length; etf++)

               if (EmptyTf[etf].contents<=0)

               {

               app.select(EmptyTf[etf]);
     
    

               alert ("Selected  is EMPTY Textframe.\r"+"Textframe selected "+[etf]+".");
}
}

else if(myDlg == 1)
{   
EmptyTf= app.activeDocument.layers.item(0).textFrames;

                              for (etf=0; etf<EmptyTf.length; etf++)

                              if (EmptyTf[etf].contents<=0)

                                   {

                                   app.select(EmptyTf[etf]);

                                   var select=app.selection[etf];

                                    select.remove();

                                   alert ("Selected  is EMPTY Textframe.\r"+"Delete  "+[etf]+".");

                         }
      }
    
     else if(myDlg == 2)
{   
EmptyTf= app.activeDocument.layers.item(0).textFrames;

                    for (etf=0; etf<EmptyTf.length; etf++)

                    if (EmptyTf[etf].contents<=0)

                         {

                              app.select(EmptyTf[etf]);

                                   var select=app.selection[0];

                                   var select=app.selection[etf+1];

                                   alert ("Next"+[etf]+".");

                              }
        }

Correct answer

Change below line

var select=app.selection[etf];

with this line

var select=app.selection[0];

Ok. So I think this will do what you want. A couple of things to note:

This will search through every TextFrame in the document. Your script only searched through the first layer. Any reason for that?

#targetengine "session"
 
function showDialog(){
     app.selection = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
     var myTextFrames;
     var foundIndex = 0;     
     var findNext = function(){
          myTextFrames = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
          for (etf=foundIndex; etf<myTextFrames.length; etf++){
               if (myTextFrames[etf].contents==""){
                    app.select(myTextFrames[etf]);
                    foundIndex = etf+1;
                    app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage=100;
                    return;
               }
          } 
          alert ("No more empty Text Frames found");
          app.selection = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
          foundIndex = 0;
          return;
     }
 
     var removeFrame = function(){
          if (app.selection.length==0){
               alert("Nothing to remove");
          } else {
               app.selection[0].remove();
                  foundIndex--;
               findNext();
          }
     }
     
     myDialog = new Window("palette", "FindDialog");
 
     myDialog.myFnBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Find Next");
     myDialog.myFnBtn.onClick = findNext;
 
     myDialog.myRmBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Remove");
     myDialog.myRmBtn.onClick = removeFrame;
 
     myDialog.mySkBtn = myDialog.add("button", undefined, "Close");
     myDialog.mySkBtn.onClick = function(){
          myDialog.close();
     }
     myDialog.show();
     findNext();
}
          
showDialog();

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Would changing it to "palette" instead of "dialog" and not close it on click help?

Dear  Harbs,

You are right, I need to use palette.

But I am not getting my target. I just like to used my script as a find and change palette.

What type of change need to be done in my script, could you please help me out.

sincerely  thanking you,

Kerosk.
