Replacing text contents via script

[MCza]

Hi everyone,

I want to replace the word "PANTONE " with "P." in all text objects in the document.

i've managed to take content from one textFrame and replace it just like i want, but it works only in JS console

function test(){

var doc =app.activeDocument;

   var t = doc.textFrames.getByName("usedcolor5").contents.replace("PANTONE ", "P.");

    return t;

};

test();

my file looks something like this:

Thanks it actually helped

Here is my code:

#target illustrator

function test() {

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var myArray = ["usedcolor1", "usedcolor2", "usedcolor3", "usedcolor4", "usedcolor5", "usedcolor6", "usedcolor7", "usedcolor8", "usedcolor9"];

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

                var t = doc.textFrames.getByName(myArray);

        var txt = t.contents.replace("PANTONE ", "P.");

        t.contents = txt;

    }

};

test();
