[cs3][JS]Find Enter with no text in Layout

[kumar1981]

Hi,

   I need to find enter with no text(idle) in a Layout.I have used the following code.

        app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
        app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat ="\n";
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
       
        var myFoundItems=new Array;
        myFoundItems=app.activeDocument.findGrep();
        var len=myFoundItems.length;
        alert(len);

I don't know whether my approach is correct or not? Please suggest me.

Regards

Kumar

hi Kumar,

you need to find "double enter" and then process second paragraph in each found result - but you need to process found items backward

or if you want to find empty TextFrames - you wont find them in this way - becuase empty TFs are empty no enter or any other characters

Try this:

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat ="^\\r";

[Edit: paragraph meta is \r and not \n]
