Dwayne,

I’m really not interested to begin such a discussion about Scott Irwin’s way of thinking!

I just wanna say such comments are not particular and are symptomatic of a certain state of mind! …

To resume a common situation:
I have a problem! … Can anyone fix it? … For free of course!!
Understand that without the solution [that I ask you to find for me => if I had it, I would ask nothing !!], I will spend time to achieve my problem! … and my time [yours? it’s not my problem!! Nothing forces you to spend time to help me!] costs me money! … I ask you to note that if the solution you could propose me costs “me” some $ [I totally don’t ask you how many!], I’m not interested, even if its cost is less than the cost of the work I will finally have to do instead!

What I mean is that Scripting is not as simple as a regex or a trick even awesome!
Coding is a complex science reserved to people who are a great knowledge of the soft[s] on which they wanna play!
The Scripters’ community is very small but they could open for all doors on an infinity of amazing worlds lots couldn’t imagine!

Don’t respect their work … You will stay at the door of their paradise, in the dark side! [… while they will have a party on the other side!!!]

PS: The script I’ve indicated in a previous post is built on a generic-base script! I mean a code structure playing around a central function:

” Select a files folder / Open each file / —— DO SOMETHING —— / Save and Close ”

In this kind of code, what is different and I have to write at each time is always the part: “DO SOMETHING”!

In Irwin’s case, it just took me some seconds:

myDoc.sections[0].continueNumbering = true;

… for just $7.50! … Obviously, this price is no longer topical! … But I’m cool: you can use it!

Thread closed!
