Automatically rename current artboard to the name of the topmost visible object.

[Eliazar Inso]

I don't know anything about scripting.  I wanted to know if it were possible to make a script that will rename the artboard that is currently selected to the name of the topmost visible object. I have a 100+ glyphs to export and needed to be renamed its character. Now, what I've done is I have those 100+ glyphs stacked at the top each other and the way I'm gonna export those glyphs is by hiding the unneeded glyphs and only showing the glyph needed to export. I also can't use multiple artboard because the required artboard size of fontforge is 1000px by 1000px and the file will be too large if I make multiple artboard for each glyph.

This is the image of the glyph I want to export (That's my handwritting).

This is the image of the stacked glyphs.

There are few unknowns, but this is a basic idea.  See if it works for you. 

app.executeMenuCommand("selectall");
var items = app.activeDocument.selection;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    if (items[i].hidden == false) {
        app.activeDocument.artboards[0].name = items[i].name;
        break;
    }
}

Try this script RenameArtboardAsTopObj. I created it for similar tasks.

This is one of the best script to rename the artobards and I am really so thankfull for it to @Sergey Osokin .

with this post I am requesting it will be great if we can able to entered the specific range of artboards or comma seperated value as well.

UI something like this below:
