No Stroke No Fill not recognizing

[subieguy2]

Can someone tell me why my else if statement isn't working? I know I have 3 path items that have no fill and no stroke...

#target illustrator
var allDocs = app.documents;
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var allLayers = doc.layers;
var allLines = doc.pathItems;
var counter = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < allLines.length; i++) {
    if (allLines.layer == "[Layer Tables]") {
        if (allLines.stroked == true) {
            counter++;
            allLines.remove();
        } else if (allLines.stroked == false && allLines.filled == false) {
            counter++;
            allLines.remove();
        }
    }
}
alert(counter + " items removed");

Hi subieguy2‌,

if I understand you right – you are on the wrong way.

I think you want to find and remove on the layer [Layer Tables] all path items which are stroked – or which have no outline AND no filling.

In this case you can try something like this:

#target illustrator  
//var allDocs = app.documents;  
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var counter = 0;
try {
var specLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName ("[Layer Tables]");
var allSpecPI = specLayer.pathItems;
var PI_len = allSpecPI.length;

for (i = PI_len - 1; i > 0; i--) {
    if (allSpecPI.stroked == true) {
         // only path items with filling and without stroke are remain
        counter++;
        allSpecPI.remove();
        } else {
            if (allSpecPI.stroked == false && allSpecPI.filled == false) {
                counter++;
                allSpecPI.remove();
                }
            }
        }
    alert(counter + " items removed");
    }
catch (e) {
    alert ("specific layer not found");
    }

Have fun

your else if statement is ok, the problem is syntax in this line

if (allLines.layer == "[Layer Tables]") {

it should be

if (allLines.layer.name == "Tables") {

that will make your script work, but to make it work correctly follow pixxxel's script

That is exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Thank you both for your help and feedback!
