Hello Community,
I have tried to find a script ( or parts of scripts) where I can find items, using only a part of the name / a specific word inside that item.
So that later on I can place that selected file inside a specific folder.
Could you help me out?
In this particular case, I would like to find a solution in code to select all layers with "Alpha", "ALPHA" and "alpha" somewhere in it's name, and arrange it in the folder named "06_COMPS".
| The closest I manage to get is a not working script: |
|---|
function main(){
var myProject = app.project.items; var nom= app.project.item(1).name
var SelectItem = app.project.activeItem var nameItem = app.project.activeItem.name
var theName
function findFolder(theName){ for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){ if (app.project.item(i) instanceof FolderItem && app.project.item(i).name == theName){ return app.project.item(i); } } return null; } var folderItem = findFolder("06_COMPS"); if (folderItem == null){ return; }
var myItemFolder = findFolder(nameItem + "Alpha"); if (myItemFolder == null){ return; }
myItemFolder.parentFolder = folderItem; SelectItem.parentFolder = folderItem
}
main() |
Here is the example in image:
If you guys know a work around this code or you have a solution, please tell me,
the try-outs (cut and pasting parts of codes I found on the net from different sources) have been only confusing me even more.
Much appreciated,
Marc
