Quick modification. The clipping mask can be a group of paths or text in Adobe Illustrator. Then the code won't work. I didn't make it complicated. But in your example you have a mask from a simple path.

function resizeZero() {

  var zero = selection[0];
  var one = selection[1];
  var coeff = Math.abs(getHeight(one) / getHeight(zero) * 100);
  zero.resize(coeff, coeff);
  redraw();

function getHeight(item) {
  return (item.typename == 'GroupItem' && item.clipp

With two objects selected this script will resize the width of top object to match the width of bottom object:

function resizeZero() {
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var Zero = selection[0];
    var One = selection[1];
    Zero.width = One.width;
    redraw();
}

resizeZero();

What is required is that the height of 1 becomes the height of 2, the width is increased in the same proportion, and the clipping mask is supported.6.png
