Hello.

I'm trying to write a script (My First) for Photoshop.

I want to check a condition and if it's true to exit the script.

The problem I can't find any place writing what is the "Exit" command in a script.

Thanks.

    Write your code in a function then you can test for your condition and use return to exit

    function main(){

    if(someThingIsWrong) return;

    }

    main();

    I wonder if there's an option that if there's no Document, it will just stop running the script.

    Something like:

    if (!documents.length) {

         alerts ("There are no Documents");

         Exit (); // A function that stops the script

    }

    Has anyone succeeded doing it?

    How can I write such "Exit" function?

    Thanks.

    Not that I'm aware of.  Only ways I know is to use the method I mentioned, or, again, put your script in a function and use "return" to exit the function and thus end the script with no further lines to excute.  Or use wrap you code in a catch/try block and throw an error if a condition is not met.


    The methods you mentioned are some of the ones I've tried but I couldn't get the

    "return" or "wrap code in a catch/try block and throw an error if a condition is not met" to work with the code I've posted.
