Does illustrator have such a script?

[lengxiaomo]

Illustrator runs the script and pops up the input box. For example, if the input text is 3446, then the text 3446 will be automatically selected or grouped. Does anyone know how to write the code? Thank you very much for your help!

// Get the current document
var currentDocument = app.activeDocument;
if (!currentDocument) {

}

// Get all groups in the current document

alert("There are no groups in the current document!");
}

// Define an array of text to search for
var searchTexts = ["Text to search for 1", "Text to search for 2", "Text to search for 3"];

// Define a collection to store text frame objects
var allTextFrames = [];

// Get all text frames in the current document and store them in the collection
for (var i = 0; i < allGroups.length; i++) {
var currentGroup = allGroups[i];

if (currentGroup.pageItems.length > 0) {
var textFrames = currentGroup.pageItems.typename === 'TextFrame' ? [currentGroup.pageItems] : currentGroup.pageItems.textFrames;

// Loop through all groups and search for text frames that contain the specified text
var hasTextFrames = false; // Check if any text frames exist in the document

for (var i = 0; i < allGroups.length; i++) {
var currentGroup = allGroups[i];

currentGroup.selected = true;
hasTextFrames = true;
break;
}
}
}
}

if (!hasTextFrames) {
alert("There are no text frames in the document that contain the specified text!");
}

Error in running the script, can someone help me modify it? Thanks

I so wanted that to work! Alas it did not (yes I changed the text to my search criteria).

I have a sheet with every Pantone PMS color, arranged as they are in the Formula Guide, and sometimes I just can't find the one I'm looking for...

ANd I did think the OP wanted a dialog to input text. I really should look in to how to do that bit myself.

Hello renél80416020 First of all, thank you for your help, this window pops up when the script runs

[femkeblanco]

I think there is a typo in the script.  I think this line

for (var i = allGroups.length-1; i > 0; i--) {

should be

for (var i = allGroups.length-1; i > -1; i--) {

 For a prompt, change the first line to

var searchTexts = [prompt()];

Note that the script will only work with the particular hierarchy that is a text frame within a group.

Hello femkeblanco First of all, thank you for your help. Can you modify it for me? Can you search for multiple text objects? Listed 344,556,996,6544....

Bonjour,

Merci femkeblanco, j'ai corrigé le script plus haut.

l'alerte signifie:

Il n’y a pas de blocs de texte dans le document qui contiennent le texte spécifié

200

j'ai ajouté au début du script

var searchText = "344,556,996,6544";

Hello renél80416020 I don't know programming, can you help me use the following code and modify it for me? Thanks

// JavaScript Document

var searchTexts = [prompt()];

if (app.documents.length) {main();}

// -------
function main() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Get all groups in the current document
if (doc.groupItems == 0) {
alert("There are no groups in the current document!");
return;
}
var allGroups = [];
for (var i = 0; i < doc.groupItems.length; i++) {
allGroups.push(doc.groupItems[i]);
}
var count, currentGroup, textFrames;
for (var k = 0; k < searchTexts.length; k++) {

Bonjour Lengxiaomo,

J'ai modifié le script (voir pus haut premier post)

Alternative approach to the other answers, in that it:

1. Searches for the matching text then recurses parent instead of looping through the entirety of document groups (so it matches a much smaller collection then looks up instead of looping large collections and matching down)
2. Uses a single regular expression to match text instead of splitting and searching for each value

Array.prototype.filter = function (callback) {
  var filtered = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
    if (callback(this[i], i, this)) filtered.push(this[i]);
  return filtered;
};
Array.prototype.forEach = function (callback) {
  for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) callback(this[i], i, this);
};
Array.prototype.map = function (callback) {
  var mappedParam = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++)
    mappedParam.push(callback(this[i], i, this));
  return mappedParam;
};
function get(type, parent, deep) {
  if (arguments.length == 1 || !parent) {
    parent = app.activeDocument;
    deep = true;
  }
  var result = [];
  if (!parent[type]) return result;
  for (var i = 0; i < parent[type].length; i++) {
    result.push(parent[type][i]);
    if (parent[type][i][type] && deep)
      result = [].concat(result, get(type, parent[type][i], deep));
  }
  return result;
}

function getNearestGroupParent(item) {
  if (!item.parent) return null;
  return /group/i.test(item.parent.typename)
    ? item.parent
    : getNearestGroupParent(item.parent) || null;
}
function isValidGroup(item) {
  return item && /group/i.test(item.typename);
}

app.selection = null;
var input = prompt("Enter comma separated text to select", ["3454", "3457"]);
var rx = new RegExp("(" + input.split(",").join("|") + ")");
var results = get("textFrames")
  .filter(function (textFrame) {
    return rx.test(textFrame.contents);
  })
  .map(function (textFrame) {
    return getNearestGroupParent(textFrame);
  });

if (!results.length) alert("No result found for " + input);
else
  results.forEach(function (group) {
    if (isValidGroup(group)) group.selected = true;
  });

Thank you for your help The script works perfectly! I wish you a happy life
