how to apply my script to all opened files?

[jean72982788]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace the content of text variables in my PSD thanks to a javascript script.

The script works but I'd like to push it a little bit further

I'd like to apply this script to all opened files. Ideally I'd like to get in a variable the list of all opened documents and then use a for loop to go through all items and apply my loop.

See my script below:

if(app.documents.length != 0){

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var headline = "new headline"

    var body = "new body copy"

    var cta = "you're going to be rich sucker"

    var url = "http://www.nicesite.com"

    for(i = 0; i < doc.artLayers.length; ++i){

        var layer = doc.artLayers;

        if(layer.name == "headline"){

            layer.textItem.contents = headline;

  }

        if(layer.name == "body"){

            layer.textItem.contents = body;

        }

        if(layer.name == "cta"){

            layer.textItem.contents = cta;

        }

        if(layer.name == "url"){

            layer.textItem.contents = url;

        }

    }

}

Would you mind sharing some code which could allow me to apply this treatment to all the open files I have in my photoshop environment?

Thanks

Easiest would be a while-function, I guess,

while (documents.length > 0) {

/*insert the operation here*/

app.activeDocument.close()

}

that concludes with closing the active document.

But a for-function should also work.

for (var m = 0; m < documents.length; m++) {

var theDoc = app.documents;

app.activeDocument = theDoc;

/*insert the operation here*/

}

I would go with the while loop. Your for loop is going to skip documents if you close them in the loop.

You are right, when closing in the for-function one should subtract and a while-function would be simpler.
