Delete Swatches

[jeremy0013]

Why does this half work??  removeAll works but I need to delete specifics through a loop.

var myColor = app.activeDocument.swatches;

    for( i=0; i<myColor.length; i++ ){     

        var currentItem = myColor;

        currentItem.remove();

}

I rewrote your code. However, not tested.

var myColor = app.activeDocument.swatches;
var len = myColor.length - 1;
for( i=len; i>0; i-- ){     
   myColor.remove();
}

swatches collection update each time in for roop.

When i variable reaches half, swatch collections length number is also reduced by half, so they become equal.

This is correct and does work (tested) but when I write the exception for a specific swatch ES gives me "can't find name".  Although I get the name with an alert?

var myColor = app.activeDocument.swatches; 

var len = myColor.length - 1;

for( i=len; i>0; i-- ){

    if (myColor.name = "My Swatch" ){

        }

    else {

    myColor.remove();

    }

}

Here is a correct syntax.

if (myColor.name == "My Swatch") {

You can reference comparison operator in  JavaScript Operators .

Thanks for pointing out I was missing part of my operator = ha. Works!!
