Convert Page Number Placeholder into Text javascript

[M.Hasanin]

Hi Pros, I found this script in (Creative Pro) Written by the Late Jongware in 2011, but it doesnt work at all in InDesign CC 2021, I think it need to be updated, but i dont know how, any help will be apperciated.

//DESCRIPTION:Convert Page Number Placeholder '#' into Text
// A Jongware Script 11-Dec-2011

var allPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
for (iterate=0; iterate<allPages.length; iterate++)
{
customPageNumber (allPages[iterate]);
}


function customPageNumber (aPage)
{
if (aPage.appliedMaster == null)
return;


pageSide = (aPage.side == PageSideOptions.RIGHT_HAND) ? 1 : 0;
masterFrame = findFrameContaining (aPage.appliedMaster, pageSide, '#');
if (masterFrame != null)
{
frame = findByLabel (aPage.pageItems, "page number");
if (frame != null)
{
frame.removeOverride();
}
frame = masterFrame.override (aPage);
frame.label = "page number";

placeholder = frame.contents.indexOf ('#');
if (placeholder != -1)
{
pageString = numberToText(Number(aPage.name));
pageString = pageString.substr(0,1).toUpperCase()+pageString.substr(1);
frame.characters[placeholder].contents = pageString;
}
}
}


function findFrameContaining (master, side, text)
{
var masterPage;
var i;

if (master.pages.length > 1)
masterPage = master.pages[side];
else
masterPage = master.pages[0];
for (i=0; i<masterPage.textFrames.length; i++)
{
if (masterPage.textFrames[i].contents.indexOf(text) > -1)
return masterPage.textFrames[i];
}
// Not found? Perhaps on this Master's Master?
if (master.appliedMaster != null)
return findFrameContaining (master.appliedMaster, side, text);
return null;
}


// Needed because the very useful label lookup was
// -- totally unnecessarily! -- removed in CS5+ ...
function findByLabel (items, label)
{
var i;
for (i=0; i<items.length; i++)
if (items[i].label == label)
return items[i];
return null;
}


function numberToText (number)
{
var ones = [ "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five",
"six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten",
"eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen",
"sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen" ];
var tens = [ "zero", "ten", "twenty", "thirty", "fourty", "fifty",
"sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety" ];
var result = '';


if (number < 0)
return "ha ha";
if (number == 0)
return ones[0];


if (number >= 1000)
{
thousand = Math.floor(number/1000);
result = numberToText (thousand) + " thousand";
number = number - 1000*thousand;
if (number > 0)
result = result + " ";
}


if (number >= 100)
{
hundred = Math.floor(number/100);
result = result + ones[hundred]+" hundred";
number = number - 100*hundred;
if (number != 0)
result = result + " and ";
}
if (number >= 20)
{
ten = Math.floor(number/10);
result = result + tens[ten];
number = number - 10*ten;
if (number != 0)
result = result + "-";
}
if (number != 0)
result = result + ones[number];
return result;
}

It works for me in CC2020, so I would think it should work with CC2021. Are you getting an error or does nothing happen?
