I am trying to find a script that will either open a selection of .ai files or run through all the open files in illustrator and complete a Find and Replace. Right now I have a script that runs the Find and Replace but I have to run it on each document instead of all my open files.
var openDocument = app.documents.item(0); var search_string = /001D/gi; // g for global search, remove i to make a case sensitive search var replace_string = '001E'; var text_frames = active_doc.textFrames; if (text_frames.length > 0) { for (var i = 0 ; i < text_frames.length; i++) { var this_text_frame = text_frames[i]; var new_string = this_text_frame.contents.replace(search_string, replace_string); if (new_string != this_text_frame.contents) { this_text_frame.contents = new_string; } } }
Thanks for any help.
