Reply To: Thread Text Frames by Name

Thank you Theunis De Jong! Finally succeeded in combining your 2 scripts. I don’t know if there will be any hiccups but for now it runs!… :D

var combineMe = new Array;

app.findObjectPreferences = null;
app.findObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles = “text”;
found_list = app.activeDocument.findObject(true);
for (a=0; a<found_list.length; a++)
{
if (found_list[a] instanceof TextFrame)
combineMe.push(found_list[a]);
}
combineMe.sort (function (a,b) { return (a.geometricBounds[0] < b.geometricBounds[0]) || (a.geometricBounds[0] == b.geometricBounds[0] && a.geometricBounds[1] < b.geometricBounds[1]) ? -1 : 1; } );

for (i=0; i<combineMe.length-1; i++)
{
if (combineMe[i].nextTextFrame == null)
{
nextFree = i+1;
while (nextFree < combineMe.length && combineMe[nextFree].previousTextFrame != null)
nextFree++;
combineMe[i].nextTextFrame = combineMe[nextFree];
}
}
