Problems encountered: Use a script to get the current mouse-selected rows and repeat them.

[dublove]

Hello, everyone. Hello @Peter Kahrel.

I Use a script to get the current mouse-selected rows and repeat them.

I  Saw a posting above on "creativepro.com" , at the bottom of the page, where Peter Kahrel gave a solution at the end.
I mimicked one and for some reason it prompted an error.

https://creativepro.com/topic/get-selected-table-rows-with-extendscript/ 

Help me look at it.
Thank you very much.

Below is the code I cobbled together.　　There's also an attachment.

var cell = app.selection[0].parent.parentRow.cells[0];
var myTable = cell.parent.parent;
var selectedRows = myTable.rows.itemByRange(cell,myTable.cells[-1]).select();
//var myTable = cell.parent
//firstRow = myTable.rows[0];

if (firstRow.rowType !== RowTypes.HEADER_ROW)
	{
	dupeTopRow(myTable);
	myTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, selectedRows);
/**
* duplicate the first row af a myTable 
* @ param the myTable 
* @ return void 
*/
function dupeTopRow(t){
    var newRow = t.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, t.selectedRows);
    var newCell = newRow.cells
    var lr = t.rows[1].cells
    for (var i = 0; i < newCell.length; i++){
        newCell[i].properties = lr[i].properties;
    };   
}
}
else{
alert("header exist")
exit ();
}

Too many parents:

var cell = app.selection[0].parent.parentRow.cells[0];

First "parent" - gets you the Table - so you need to drop it, because Table doesn't have "parentRow":

var cell = app.selection[0].parentRow.cells[0];

But then - you still have a problem:

And if you want to ping Peter - you need to make a space before "@".

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

OK, I've checked the original code - you haven't read first line of Peter's reply:

"This works: select an an insertion point in any cell, then do this:"

But your selection is bunch of Cells.

I read it wrong.
I thought that this would get the currently selected rows.

I used a dumb way to duplicate rows 1 and 2.
Couldn't this be done with just one function?

It would be easier if you could make a judgment based on the rows selected by the mouse.

Please guide me.

//dub header 
var cell = app.activeDocument.selection[0].parent
var myTable = cell.parent
firstRow = myTable.rows[0];
//duplicat row1
if (firstRow.rowType !== RowTypes.HEADER_ROW)
	{
	dupeTopRow(myTable);
	/**
* duplicate the first row af a myTable 
* @ param the myTable 
* @ return void 
*/
function dupeTopRow(t){
    var newRow = t.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, t.rows[0]);//past here
    var newCell = newRow.cells
    var lr = t.rows[1].cells//copy which row
    for (var i = 0; i < newCell.length; i++){
		newCell[i].properties = lr[i].properties;
    };   
}

//dublicat row2
dupeTopRow2(myTable);
function dupeTopRow2(b){
    var newRow2 = b.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, b.rows[1]);//past here
    var newCell2 = newRow2.cells
    var nr = b.rows[3].cells//copy which row
    for (var j = 0; j < newCell2.length; j++){
		newCell2[j].properties = nr[j].properties;
    };   
}


}
else{
alert("header exist")
exit ();
}

Can you just stick to one post/thread instead of creating several new posts around the same issue? It is difficult for us to track and manage. 

[dublove]

Sorry, I will correct and avoid.
It doesn't seem to be the same problem, just using the same example code.

[Peter Kahrel]

Moved from other thread.

[dublove]

Are you a forum administrator, and can you merge posts.

So how do you abbreviate the above code?
Directly, duplicate Row1-row2.
My this is running, , it's so unscientific, and  I always feel bad about it.

I even wrote 2 scripts, one for the 1-row table header and one for the 2-row table header.
It would be nice to automatically duplicate the row currently selected by the mouse.

[Peter Kahrel]

This is a good example of not adapting an existing script. You got hung up with trying to select a row. But that's irrelevant, because you always want to deal with a table's first and second rows. So you need to get a reference to a table, insert two rows after the second row, then duplicate the cells  contents of the first row to the third row, and the contents of the cells in the second row to those in the fourth one.

Here's a fairly naive script that follows that line.

// Select an insertion point anywhere in the table
// (i.e. click anywhere in the table)

table = app.selection[0].parent.parent;

// Add a row after the first row
table.rows.add (LocationOptions.AFTER, table.rows[1]);

// Duplicate the contents of the cells in the first row
// to the cells in the third row

cells1 = table.rows[0].cells;
cells2 = table.rows[2].cells;
for (i = 0; i < cells1.length; i++) {
 cells1[i].texts[0].duplicate (
  LocationOptions.AFTER,
  cells2[i].texts[0].insertionPoints[0]
 )
}

// Add a row after the third row

table.rows.add (LocationOptions.AFTER, table.rows[2]);

// Duplicate etc.

cells1 = table.rows[1].cells;
cells2 = table.rows[3].cells;
for (i = 0; i < cells1.length; i++) {
 cells1[i].texts[0].duplicate (
  LocationOptions.AFTER,
  cells2[i].texts[0].insertionPoints[0]
 )
}

Thank you very much.
This one is logically easier to understand
