Can there be scripts that perform multiple operations at once?

[dublove]

Are you like this? After importing the text, first apply the "body" paragraph style (for example:mybody) created by yourself, and then apply the "none" character style. Sometimes we need to perform "clear style first".
We always repeat operations, can we use a script to automatically complete it at once.

Similarly, for tables,
We first need to set the minimum row height,
Then set the cell style to none,
Then apply the table style you created (for example: mytable)
Finally, you also need to perform "Clear Style Priority".

Maybe we also need to set the first row as the header
This should also be done automatically once with a script.

Hope the master can help solve this problem~

thank you very much!

you can use doscript:

app.doScript('main()', ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, 'working name')

function main(){

}

I don’t understand, can you be more specific?

You can try something like this:

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
/// This is for paragraphs
if(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body').isValid){
    myDoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().applyParagraphStyle(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body'), true);
    }
myDoc.stories.everyItem().characters.everyItem().applyCharacterStyle(myDoc.characterStyles[0]);
//================
// This is for table
var myStories = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem();
var done = true;
if(myStories.tables.length > 0) done = false;
while(!done){
    myStories.tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
    myStories.tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
    myStories.tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = app.documents[0].cellStyles[0];
    if(myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable').isValid){
        myStories.tables.everyItem().appliedTableStyle = myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable');
        }
    myStories.tables.everyItem().headerRowCount = 1;
    if(myStories.tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().tables.length > 0){
        myStories = myStories.tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem();
        }
    else{
        done = true;
        }
    }
//================

Thank you very much. It works.

But it changed all the tables, did not clear the priority option, and added a blank row

Try this now:

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
/// This is for paragraphs
if(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body').isValid){
    myDoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().applyParagraphStyle(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body'), true);
    }
myDoc.stories.everyItem().characters.everyItem().applyCharacterStyle(myDoc.characterStyles[0]);
//================
// This is for table
app.selection[0].rows.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
app.selection[0].cells.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
app.selection[0].rows[0].rowType = RowTypes.HEADER_ROW;
app.selection[0].cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = app.documents[0].cellStyles[0];
if(myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable').isValid){
    app.selection[0].appliedTableStyle = myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable');
    }
app.selection[0].rows.everyItem().height = "8mm";

Hello Sunil_Yadav1~

Thank you so much!

I tried it, but it didn’t work. Help me to see it again.

For paragraphs:
    It works, and uses the body style, but there is no clear preference.

For table
   Prompt the following error:

   Object does not support the property or method'rows'
   cells are also not supported

[brianp311]

With the table, you need to ensure you have the entire table selected. You can add this line to check after the comments for the start of the table methods: 

if (!app.selection[0] instanceof Table) {
    alert("you must select a table!")
    exit();
}

[dublove]

You don’t have to select the entire table. I have seen some scripts that only need the cursor in the table to execute on the entire table.

But I don’t know how to do it

[brianp311]

The way Sunil wrote the script it requires you to select the entire table. There are other ways to get at a table with the cursor being in the table, but it involves more coding to get right.

Sorry for my late response.

I understand from your need.

You can try this code:

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
/// This is for paragraphs
if(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body').isValid){
    myDoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().applyParagraphStyle(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item('body'), true);
    }
myDoc.stories.everyItem().characters.everyItem().applyCharacterStyle(myDoc.characterStyles[0]);
//================
// This is for table
var selectionIsInTable = false;
var myTable = null;
try{
    if(app.selection[0].parent.constructor.name == "Cell"){
        selectionIsInTable = true;
        myTable = app.selection[0].parent.parent;
        }
    else if(app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Cell"){
        selectionIsInTable = true;
        myTable = app.selection[0].parent;
        }
    else if(app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Table"){
        selectionIsInTable = true;
        myTable = app.selection[0];
        }
    }
catch(e){
    selectionIsInTable = false;
    }
if(selectionIsInTable && myTable != null && myTable != undefined){
    myTable.rows.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
    myTable.cells.everyItem().autoGrow = true;
    myTable.rows[0].rowType = RowTypes.HEADER_ROW;
    myTable.cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = app.documents[0].cellStyles[0];
    if(myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable').isValid){
        myTable.appliedTableStyle = myDoc.tableStyles.item('myTable');
        }
    myTable.rows.everyItem().height = "8mm";
    }

Sorry, there is still a problem with this script:

Yes, it works, but it's too slow for text.

The table part still has no clear priority (paragraph style, character style, table style and cell style should be cleared)

Paragraph style, character style, table style and cell style should be cleaned up.

To put it simply: clear and restore paragraph, character, table and cell styles to none

Hello

Sorry, I haven't seen it for a long time.

This script corresponds to paragraph style. It runs too slowly. And there is no clear priority.

Table scripts also have no preference for clearing character styles and paragraph styles

[dublove]

This script takes a long time to run... a bit inefficient
