Find and rename all textFrames having the same name

[siomosp]

Hi,

At activedocument there is multiple textFrames named "Text"

I want to rename each one  to Text0, Text1, Text2

This is not wotking

#target illustrator
var SearchName = "Text";
var count = 0;
var textObjects = app.activeDocument.textFrames
for (var i = 0; i < textObjects.length; i++) {
if (textObjects[i].getByName(SearchName) {
textObjects[i].name = SearchName + count ;
 count ++;
}
}

You are looping through textFrames, not pathItems.

Sorry!
I mean textFrames

Hell, Try following

#target illustrator

var SearchName = "Text";
var count = 0;
var textObjects = app.activeDocument.textFrames
for (var i = 0; i < textObjects.length; i++) {
    if (textObjects[i].name == SearchName) {
        textObjects[i].name = SearchName + count;
        count++;
    }
}

Error in in your versions:
1. Round bracket missing in if statement

2. You are using the getByName on each textFrame like textFrame[i], instead it should be textFrames.getByNamewithout i.

Another version of script using with the getByName

#target illustrator

var SearchName = "Text";
var count = 0;
var textObjects = app.activeDocument.textFrames
for (var i = 0; i < textObjects.length; i++) {
    try {
        if (textObjects.getByName(SearchName)) {
            textObjects[i].name = SearchName + count;
            count++;
        }
    } catch (e) { }
}
