Search for bookmark

[subieguy2]

How can I search through my list of bookmarks and assign a JavaScript action to the one I am looking for?

If I run the following script:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++){
console.println(this.bookmarkRoot.children.name);
}

I get the top level of my bookmarks but not the bookmarks nested under these.

Console shows:

Schematic Tools - Volume 1

Schematic Tools - Volume 2

Here is what my bookmarks look like:

I am needing to look for specific bookmark names and assign different JavaScript functions to them.

So something like this is what I am looking for:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++){
if (this.bookmarkRoot.children.name == "V1 - 021 (Orange)"){
cExpr: "oneTwoOne();"
}
if (this.bookmarkRoot.children.name == "V2 - 032 (Red)"){
cExpr: "zeroThreeTwo();"
}
}

How do I search for the nested bookmark and assign it my desired function?

Any tips would be appreciated!

Look at the children of the children:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++) { 
  var bk = this.bookmarkRoot.children;
  for (var j = 0; j < bk.children.length; j++) { 
    console.println(bk.children.name); 
  }
}

And if the children may have children you are going to need to use recursion. A standard programming technique where a routine calls itself. There are alternatives but they are very messy.

Perfect! Thank you!

Here is my bookmarks panel:

When I run this:

for (var i = 0; i < this.bookmarkRoot.children.length; i++) { 
console.println(this.bookmarkRoot.children.name);  
  var bk = this.bookmarkRoot.children;  
  for (var j = 0; j < bk.children.length; j++) { 
    console.println(bk.children.name);
  }  
}

Here is my console output:

Schematic Tools - Volume 1

V1 - 021 (Orange)

V1 - 190 (Dk Pink)

V1 - 258 (Dk Purple)

V1 - 346 (Med Green)

V1 - 347 (Dk Green)

Schematic Tools - Volume 2

V2 - Black (Ground)

V2 - 032 (Red)

V2 - 640 (Blue)

V2 - 305 (Lt Blue)

V2 - 021 (Orange)

V2 - 190 (Dk Pink)

V2 - 258 (Dk Purple)

V2 - 346 (Med Green)

Schematic Tools - Volume 3

V3 - 032 (Red)

TypeError: bk.children is null

Why am I getting the TypeError and why is it not giving me the additional bookmarks?

Here is what is missing (and the icons look different):

@Bernd Alheit

Thank you for your help!

Before line 3 add:

If (bk.children != null)

[subieguy2]

So now that the script has located the desired bookmark...

How do I apply a javascript to it?

For example given the following code:

        for (var j = 0; j < bk.children.length; j++) {
//console.println(bk.children.name);
if (bk.children.name == "V1 - 190 (Dk Pink)"){
            console.println("Found " + bk.children.name);
bk.children{cExpr: "oneNineZero();"};
}
        }

I know my line for assigning the cExpr isn't right because that is a parameter of the createChild method.

But that is what I am wanting to do. The bookmark is already created. I am just wanting to assign my own function oneNineZero();

[Bernd Alheit]

Use the method setAction of the bookmark.

[subieguy2]

bk.children.setAction("blahBlah();");

Got it! Thank you again!!!

You need to add a line to check that bk is defined, since you have top level bookmarks without children
