I am trying to create a UI. My current code gives me the following.... How can I make it a 2 column format? I want the UI to look like this (photoshop mockup).... Then once I get it formatted... How do I pass the user input values to the next part of my code? When I type in some values for the correct CMYK fields and click OK, I get this message... I am using Adobe Illustrator Creative Cloud.... Here is my code #target illustrator-21 #targetengine main var w = new Window('dialog', "CMYK Correction Tool\n"); w.orientation = 'column'; w.alignChildren = ["fill","fill"]; w.preferredSize = [150, 250]; w.wrongGroup = w.add('panel', undefined, "Wrong CMYK values"); w.wrongGroup.alignChildren = 'left'; //w.wrongGroup.spacing = 15; w.wrongGroup.add('statictext{text: "Cyan Value: "}'); var wrongCyanColor = w.wrongGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.wrongGroup.add('statictext{text: "Magenta Value: "}'); var wrongMagentaColor = w.wrongGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.wrongGroup.add('statictext{text: "Yellow Value: "}'); var wrongYellowColor = w.wrongGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.wrongGroup.add('statictext{text: "Black Value: "}'); var wrongBlackColor = w.wrongGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); //w.separator = w.add ("panel"); //w.separator.minimumSize.height = w.separator.maximumSize.height = 3; w.rightGroup = w.add('panel', undefined, "Correct CMYK values"); w.rightGroup.alignChildren = 'left'; w.rightGroup.add('statictext{text: "Cyan Value: "}'); var cyanColor = w.rightGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.rightGroup.add('statictext{text: "Magenta Value: "}'); var magentaColor = w.rightGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.rightGroup.add('statictext{text: "Yellow Value: "}'); var yellowColor = w.rightGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); w.rightGroup.add('statictext{text: "Black Value: "}'); var blackColor = w.rightGroup.add('edittext {characters: 12, active: true}'); var okBtn = w.add("button", undefined, "OK"); okBtn.onClick = function() { w.close(); return this.value = true; } var cancelBtn = w.add("button", undefined, "Cancel"); cancelBtn.onClick = function() { w.close(); return this.value = true; } w.show(); alert("you entered\n" + "Cyan value: " + cyanColor + "\nMagenta value: " + magentaColor + "\nYellow value: " + yellowColor + "\nBlack value: " +blackColor);

Open this file... Document.ai - Google Drive https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4ebfmBRxh3ATXBMbTUySmtpVWs Then open this file so it is the active document... Table.ai - Google Drive I am running a script on the table I have pasted in from an Excel document. I am storing all of the names in an array. Then it closes the table document and then searches document for matches. The problem I am running into is that the table document is all a single line text frame and the document has text frames with carriage returns in them. Here is my current code (which includes some clean up functions for odd spaces and such).... #target illustrator var doc = app.activeDocument; var allText = doc.textFrames; var componentName = []; var theContents; // Remove spaces that are before, after, or double function myTrim(x) { return x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/gm, ''); } function removeDoubleSpaces() { var searchString = / /g; var replaceString = " "; for (var i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { var thisTextFrame = allText; var newString = thisTextFrame.contents.replace(searchString, replaceString); if (newString != thisTextFrame.contents) { thisTextFrame.contents = newString; } } } for (i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { theContents = allText.contents; theContents = myTrim(theContents); allText.contents = theContents; } removeDoubleSpaces(); // Read table data for (var i = allText.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { //alert(allText.contents); componentName.push(allText.contents); } //alert(componentName.length); alert("Your component table has been successfully scanned!"); doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); // Format text on Hypertext layer to read (#) Component Name var doc = app.activeDocument; var allText = doc.textFrames; for (i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { theContents = allText.contents; theContents = myTrim(theContents); allText.contents = theContents; } removeDoubleSpaces(); var calloutStartNumber = prompt("Start with callout number...", "1", "Callout Number"); var hyperLayer = doc.layers.getByName("Hypertext"); for (var i = 0; i < componentName.length; i++) { //alert(componentName.length); for (var z = 0; z < allText.length; z++) { //alert(allText.length); if (componentName == allText ) { alert(componentName + " " + allText ); allText .contents = "(" + (calloutStartNumber) + ") " + allText .contents; calloutStartNumber++; } } } alert("Your components have been numbered!"); My desired output is Accumulator Gp - Hydraulic (Charged) is number 1 and then each item after that on the table (that is in alphabetical order) will be numbered sequentially on the document. I don't want the script to change the text box or get rid of the carriage returns....just insert the sequential number in front of it like this....

I have a script that has been working perfectly that was written by pixxxel schubser​ (thank you!!) Original discussion can be found here..... https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1881921 So here is the issue that has popped up using this code: #target illustrator var doc = app.activeDocument var allText = doc.textFrames; var aCon; for (var i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { aCon = allText.contents; if (aCon.match(/_SWITCH|SWITCH_/) != null) { aCon = aCon.replace(/_SWITCH|SWITCH_/, ""); aCon = "SWITCH - " + aCon; allText.contents = aCon; } else if (aCon.match(/_SW|SW_/) != null) { aCon = aCon.replace(/_SW|SW_/, ""); aCon = "SWITCH - " + aCon; allText.contents = aCon; } } Here is a before and after the script. The first 3 text frames are great. The next ones are the issue. How do I make my search specifically the characters shown? Only _SW or _SWITCH Any help would be appreciated!

So I am wanting to search through the entire document for all text frames that contain an underscore. If the text frame does include an underscore I am wanting to move that text frame to a specific layer called "Hypertext". Then I want to remove the underscore from that text frame. So in my code below I have it doing everything I have mentioned except I don't know how to get it to move to a specific layer. Any help would be appreciated! #target illustrator var doc = app.activeDocument; var allText = doc.textFrames; var searchString = /_/g; var replaceString = " "; for (var i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { var thisTextFrame = allText; var newString = thisTextFrame.contents.replace(searchString, replaceString); if (newString != thisTextFrame.contents) { //alert("Contains an underscore"); allText.move("Hypertext"); thisTextFrame.contents = newString; } }

I understand what you are saying and thank you for that. However I guess I didn't give all the information....sorry about that. The part number I am looking to replace is within a sentence (meaning it isn't in a text frame by itself). Plus I also need to keep the formatting. Here is an example of what the document would contain. PART NUMBER: 111-1111, CHANGE: 05, VERSION: - (All of that is in one text frame) PART NUMBER: 222-2222, CHANGE: 01, VERSION: HE (All of that is in one text frame) Both of the above text frames could be on one document....or could be on separate documents.

So I am wanting to find a part number in a document. There could be several part numbers. Thanks to some of the users here I have code that currently looks like this.... #target illustrator function changeData() { function processDoc(doc) { // OLD PART NUMBER var oldPart = /111-1111/gi; // NEW PART NUMBER var replacePart = "111-1111", result; var allText = doc.textFrames; // SEARCH AND CHANGE LOOP FOR PART # while (result = oldPart.exec(allText.contents)) { try { aCon = allText.characters[result.index]; aCon.length = result[0].length; aCon.contents = replacePart; } catch (e) {}; } // SCAN THRU ALL OPEN DOCUMENTS for (var i = 0; i < app.documents.length; i++) { app.documents.activate(); processDoc(app.activeDocument); }; }; changeData(); Now please excuse my lack of knowledge but I was wondering if it is possible to do a list search and list change. I know this isn't the syntax to use but just to get the point across.... // OLD PART NUMBER var oldPart = /111-1111 || 222-2222 || 333-3333/gi; // NEW PART NUMBER var replacePart = "444-4444 || 555-555 || 666-6666", result; So if part 111-1111 is found it would change it to 444-4444. if part 222-2222 is found it would change it to 555-5555. if part 333-3333 is found it would change it to 666-6666. Can anyone explain how to do this within my function?? Thanks in advance!

My document contains 2 places that I want to change a particular number. Here is the code that I currently have to change the number I want. #target illustrator var doc = app.activeDocument; var allText = doc.textFrames; for (var i = 0; i < allText.length; i++) { if (allText.contents.substring(0,11) == "UENR3640-05"){ var mediaNumber = allText.contents.replace("UENR3640-05", "UENR3640-06"); allText.contents = mediaNumber; } } The yellow box is a multi-line that contains 3 different font size. So when I run my above script it changes the number in the gray box fine. However the yellow box changes to this.... Any help that would ignore the formatting of the text and just change the text I have setup? I would love to also have the option for this to run on ALL open documents. This is on a Windows 7 64-bit PC with Adobe Illustrator CS4 Thanks in advance!

I do something similar to this for my documents. I just force anything lower than my minimum....to my minimum.

For copyright reasons I can not upload a full sample file. But yes the way you described it is correct. This script will be run on multiple types of documents. It will ALWAYS contain one of the following layers: "One Line", "Two Line", "Three Line" or "Four Line" On one of those layers there will ALWAYS be one text frame that starts with: "UENR", "RENR", "SENR" or "KENR" That text frame is the media number of the document. There is only one and it is very specific. Hope that makes sense....and sorry about not being able to upload a file. Thank you both for your continuing conversation on this! This UI stuff is new to me and I am loving learning about it!

Here is how I addressed the if it is just 1 line.....
if (!allText.contents.match("\r")) {
dashFrames = allText.contents;
var useLine = 1;
}
else{
dashFrames[count] = allText.contents.replace(/^.[^\n\r]+/, "").replace(/^[\r\n]/, "").split(/[\n\r]/);
count++;
var useLine = 2;
}
then....
if (useLine == 1){
useLine = dashFrames;
}
if (useLine == 2){
useLine = dashFrames.join(",").replace(/,/g, ", ");
}
then....
var str = '<meta name="SN Effectivity 1" content="' + useLine + '">\r'
var f = File("~/Desktop/" + mediaNumber + " Publish Info.html");
f.open('w');
f.write(str);
f.close();
I am sure that isn't the most efficient way to do it....but hey it works hahahaha!
