How to validate whether Hyperlink already present or not in Indesign using Javascript?

[Karthik SG]

Is there any way to validate the Hyperlinks already added in the indesign document.

Look into the Hyperlink panel.

Hi,

Below is the snippet that will help you to tell whether hyperlink exists or not.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _hyperLink = doc.hyperlinks.itemByName('test');
if(_hyperLink.isValid)
    alert("Exists");
else
    alert("Not exists");

Assuming, hyperlink with name "test" exists in teh indesig document.

This would do the trick.

Can you be more specific? If you want to check if a block of Text has hyperlinks, you can use myText.findHyperlinks(), which will return an array of all hyperlinks in that text (array length can be 0)
