Indexing by own list

[_AWID_]

Hi.

In the first step I try to load a text-based list to create an index with certain topics. The loading is not the problem:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Funktionsprozess");

function main() {
	var myList = File.openDialog ("Indexliste laden"); 
	if (!myList) exit(); 

			myList.open ('r', undefined, undefined); 
			var theText = myList.read();//+'\n'; 
			theText = theText.replace(/ +\n/g, '\n').replace(/\n+/g, '\n'); 
			var words = theText //.replace(/\s+/g, '\n');  
	
			var words = theText.split("\n"); 
			listLength = words.length;

			myList.close(); 

	function makeMyList() { 
		app.documents.everyItem().indexes.everyItem().topics.everyItem().remove()

		newIndex = myDoc.indexes.add()
	
		for (var i = 0; i<listLength; i++){  
			myWord = words[i];			
			if (myWord != "") {

				newTopic = myDoc.indexes[0].topics.add (myWord);
				myDoc.indexes[0].topics.add(myWord);


				myDoc.indexes[0].update(); 
			}
		} 
	}
	makeMyList();
		
}​

I had to change the script because making a mistake (wanted to use a string instead an array for the enties)🙂Now it works but I also need the page numbers. This is how it looks like:

But I´m afraid, the imported topics needs to be at the references (Verweise) instead of the theme (Thema) to get the page numbers, isn´t it?

It's just part of the script language's formalism.
