for(var i=0;i<doc.length;i++) 
{ 
        var found = doc.findText(); 
        var _pages = []; 
        for(var j=0;j<found.length;j++)

                var txfms = found.texts[0].parentTextFrames; 
                for(var k=0;k<txfms.length;k++) 
                { 
                        _pages.push(txfms.parentPage.name); 
                    }

                    } 
            } 
        if(_pages.length != 0)

The method to open a Folder Object as if clicked in the UI is Folder.execute();

Hi,

I have tried, but not work

what is the syntax?  John

#target indesign

var f = Folder( Folder.desktop + '/Testing' );

if ( ! f.exists ) { f.create(); };

f.execute();

Wow this thing for pasting syntax is now SHITE… CAN'T see it have to load the go back and edit C&P only works half the time…
