Hi,

How to collect 'Masterpage--TextFrame--content' details from Indesign file.

If the Master page spread has text frame, I need to collect that text frame content in the separate file. If this possible by Indesign script?

thanks,

Hi Hasvi,

Hope this helps you!

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var master = doc.masterSpreads;

var contents = "";

for(var i =0;i<master.length;i++)

{

        for(var j =0;j<master.textFrames.length;j++)

        {

                if(master.textFrames.parentPage != null){

                    contents += master.textFrames.contents + "\t" + master.name + "\r";

                }

            }

    }

var file = new File("c:/1.txt");

file.open("w");

file.write(contents);

file.close();

Hi Hasvi,

Try this,

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var master = doc.masterSpreads;

var contents = "";

for(var i =0;i<master.length;i++)

{

        for(var j =0;j<master.textFrames.length;j++)

        {

                contents += master.textFrames.contents + "\r";

            }

    }

var file = new File("c:/1.txt");

file.open("w");

file.write(contents);

file.close();

    Hi Chinna,

    Hi Hasvi,

    Here is the modified code.

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var master = doc.masterSpreads;

    var contents = "";

    for(var i =0;i<master.length;i++)

    {

            for(var j =0;j<master.textFrames.length;j++)

            {

                    contents += master.textFrames.contents + "\t" + master.name + "\r";

                }

        }

    var file = new File("c:/1.txt");

    file.open("w");

    file.write(contents);

    file.close();

    Regards,

    Chinna
