If we assume 3 numbers equals an RGB value and 4 a CMYK value, then here’s an example that checks all the cells in the 3rd column of the document’s first table, and sets the fillColor to the content values:
var d = app.activeDocument
var c = d.stories.everyItem().tables[0].columns[2].cells.everyItem().getElements();
var fc, cv;
var ca= []
for (var i = 0; i < c.length; i++){
cv = c[i].contents.split(",");
for (var n = 0; n < cv.length; n++){
ca.push(Number(cv[n]))
};
You could remove the contents:
var d = app.activeDocument
var tf = d.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
var fc, cv, vn;
var ca= []
for (var i = 0; i < tf.length; i++){
cv = tf[i].contents.split(",");
if (cv.length == 3 || cv.length == 4) {
for (var n = 0; n < cv.length; n++){
ca.push(Number(cv[n]))
};
vn=0
for (var x in ca) {
vn += ca[x]
}
if (ca.length == 3) {
fc = makeSwatch(d, ca.toString())This should work:
var tf = d.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements();

Sample result:
Hi @zaitexspa , itemByName probably won‘t work unless you actually give the text frame a name in the Layers panel. In the doc you posted "test" is a layer name not a text frame name, and a text frame’s name returns "" unless you give it a name.
You could get all of the text frames and assume if their contents gets split into an array using the "," delimiter and the length is either 3 or 4 it’s a color value string. You could also set up your color values with a less common separator something like 0|0|0, then use .contents.split("|"). Maybe some one else has a better idea?
Also here I’m getting the color’s total value and setting the contents color to either black or white depending on the value returned:
var d = app.activeDocument
var tf = d.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
var fc, cv, vn;
var ca= []
for (var i = 0; i < tf.length; i++){
cv = tf[i].contents.split(",");
if (cv.length == 3 || cv.length == 4) {
for (var n = 0; n < cv.length; n++){
ca.push(Number(cv[n]))
};
vn=0
for (var x in ca) {
vn += ca[x]
}
if (ca.length == 3) {
fc = makeSwatch(d, ca.toString())
fc.properties = {space:ColorSpace.RGB, model:ColorModel.PROCESS, colorValue:ca}
tf[i].fillColor = fc;
if (vn/3 < 128) {
tf[i].texts[0].fillColor = "Paper"
} else {
tf[i].texts[0].fillColor = "Black"
}
}
if (ca.length == 4) {
fc = makeSwatch(d, ca.toString())
fc.properties = {space:ColorSpace.CMYK, model:ColorModel.PROCESS, colorValue:ca}
tf[i].fillColor = fc;
if (vn/4 < 50) {
tf[i].texts[0].fillColor = "Black"
} else {
tf[i].texts[0].fillColor = "Paper"
}
}
}
ca = [];
};
