how to apply my script to all opened files?

Question

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 furtherI'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*/
}
