[JS] How to create a table in Javascript

[Hachy707]

Hello,

I am French and my English is poor. Sorry in advance if anything is unclear.

I would like to create a table entirely in javascript. An example:

How to make? I not find how to create rows and columns and how to fill cells with text ...

Thanks,

You could use the add() method for the Table object and define some properties:

var myTable = myTextFrame.insertionPoints[0].tables.add({columnCount:3,headerRowCount:1,bodyRowCount:1});

If you want to add properties, work on with the "myTable" variable…

// reset the Find/Change dialog

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

// formulate a grep search string

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = 'hsm18.+?$';

// find all occurrence, last one first

f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);

for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++)

{

// construct file name

name = f.contents.replace (/@/g, '');

// place the pdf and REPLACE the destination with the folder of links

f.insertionPoints[0].place (File ('/Users/f-0262/Desktop/temp/' + name));

}

// delete all @??@ codes

app.activeDocument.changeGrep()

Hi Oriup,

this thread is about creating tables with ExtendScript.
Not about using GREP Find/Change.

Please add a new thread about your problem with a telling title here in the forum.
And also add a description of what you like to do with some words. What is working and what is not.

Regards,
Uwe

Hi Laubender,

I am new to forum, I have mistakenly place this code here.

I do not know how to delete.

By the way this code is find text and place image.
