open all documents of book

[131772el]

Hello!

Me again, writing with Google Translate,  i'm sorry!

I'm pretty begins on the subject, hope this forum even for beginners.

If not, tell me and run away ...

Two questions:

A. Theoretically. When should I use "getElements" in addition to "everyItems"?

In. Why this script does not open all my book documents?

(Nothing happens)

if (app.activeBook! = undefined) {

     myBook = app.activeBook;

     for (var a = 0; a <myBook.bookContents.length; a + +) {

       myItem = myBook.bookContents.item (a);

       var myS = myBook.bookContents.item (a). status;

     if (myS! = "DOCUMENT_IS_OPEN") {

           app.open (myItem.filePath);

          }

         }

     }

Thank you!

Hello 13177el,

Use the below code, may it help to open the all book contents

Simple code:

if(app.books.length==0)
{
    alert("please open the book")
    }
var myBook = app.activeBook;
var myBookContents = app.activeBook.bookContents;
for(k=0; k<myBookContents.length; k++)
{
    var myTotalContents = myBookContents.fullName.toString()
    app.open(File(myTotalContents))
    }

For question A:

getElements(): Used to store the some values in the variable like

app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.everyItem().getElements()

app.activeDocument.characterStyles.everyItem().getElements()

app.activeDocument.objectStyles.everyItem().getElements()

If the above code helps for you, then please click help or correct answers for me.

Thanks

Hi! Here is an updated version of that script. Feel free to remove the "book is opened" comment. Was just using it to validate the opened book

if (app.books.length == 0) {
alert("Please open the book");
} else {
alert("Book is opened");
}

var myBook = app.activeBook;
var myBookContents = myBook.bookContents;

// Array to store opened documents
var openedDocuments = [];

for (var k = 0; k < myBookContents.length; k++) {
var myTotalContents = myBookContents[k].fullName.toString();
var openedDocument = app.open(File(myTotalContents));
openedDocuments.push(openedDocument);
}

// Now, the opened documents are stored in the 'openedDocuments' array
