Name sublayers to CSV

[siscub42209571]

Does anyone have a script that can pass the name of the sublayers to CSV?

Thanks

i have this code,
but it does not detect the sublayers.

I don't understand much about scripts, can someone correct it for me?

#target illustrator  

main();  

function main(){  

if(!documents.length) return;  

var doc = app.activeDocument;  

var docTitle = doc.name;

var docTitle = docTitle.substring(0, docTitle.length - 3);

var textFile = File('~/Desktop/' + docTitle +'_Layers.csv');  

var docText = '';  

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

var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];  

docText += currentLayer.name + '\r';  

}  

textFile.open('e');  

textFile.write(docText);  

textFile.close();  

}

Hi,

Try following snippet

#target illustrator

main();
function main() {

    if (!documents.length) return;

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var docTitle = doc.name;
    var docTitle = docTitle.substring(0, docTitle.length - 3);
    var textFile = File('~/Desktop/' + docTitle + '_Layers.csv');
    var docText = '';

    var layersName = [];
    getAllLayers(doc, layersName);
    docText = layersName;

    textFile.open('e');
    textFile.write(docText);
    textFile.close();
}

function getAllLayers(container, layersName) {
    for (var i = 0; i < container.layers.length; i++) {
        layersName.push(container.layers[i].name);
        getAllLayers(container.layers[i], layersName);
    }
}

Thank you,
But I sure do something wrong

it does the same to me as the previous one,

just write me the name of the layer, I need the sublayers

😞

Could you please attach the your ai files. It may possible only single layer exists and other are groups not layers. Or may be screen shot of your Layer panel.

[siscub42209571]

Thank you for the quick response.

Attached screenshot of the layers.

Actually there is only a single layer, maybe I explained myself wrong,
what I need are the names of the items that are in the layer.

This is possible?

Hi,

It will give the name of all pageItems in the document

#target illustrator

main();
function main() {

    if (!documents.length) return;

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var docTitle = doc.name;
    var docTitle = docTitle.substring(0, docTitle.length - 3);
    var textFile = File('~/Desktop/' + docTitle + '_Layers.csv');
    var docText = '';

    var names = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.pageItems.length; i++) {
        if (doc.pageItems[i].name != '')
            names.push(doc.pageItems[i].name)
    }
    docText = names;

    textFile.open('e');
    textFile.write(docText);
    textFile.close();
}

If you want item of only variables layers then use following

#target illustrator

main();
function main() {

    if (!documents.length) return;

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var docTitle = doc.name;
    var docTitle = docTitle.substring(0, docTitle.length - 3);
    var textFile = File('~/Desktop/' + docTitle + '_Layers.csv');
    var docText = '';

    var names = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.pageItems.length; i++) {
        if (doc.pageItems[i].name != '' && doc.pageItems[i].layer.name == 'variables')
            names.push(doc.pageItems[i].name)
    }
    docText = names;

    textFile.open('e');
    textFile.write(docText);
    textFile.close();
}

@Charu Rajput 

this script works good,

get the name of sublayers to csv

[siscub42209571]

Hello,
I don't see the script, where can I get it?

[GerssonDelgado]

hey @siscub42209571 

the fisrt snippet provided by @Charu Rajput  in the first comment above

[Charu Rajput]

@GerssonDelgado 

Yes first script gives name of the sublayer, but the actual problem is @siscub42209571 document does not have sublayers. As per the screen shots it is not sublayers but page items.

I hope updated version of the script will help @siscub42209571 

[siscub42209571]

Yessss,

Yes Yes

now it works, thank you so much
