Hi I'm trying to merge these groups of text together but i'm having trouble keeping the spaces after i merge it with my current code.
BEFORE
AFTER
here is my current code
var textLayer = idoc.layers[0]
textLayer.name = "Text";
for (var i = 0; i < textLayer.groupItems.length; i++){ var tempText = "" var anchor1 = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[0].anchor var anchor2 = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[1].anchor var TextOnAngle = IsTextOnAngle(anchor1[0],anchor1[1],anchor2[0],anchor2[1]) var TextAngleDeg = TextAngle(anchor1[0],anchor1[1],anchor2[0],anchor2[1]) for (var j = 0; j < textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames.length; j++){ if (j == 1){ var newText = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[j].duplicate(textLayer, ElementPlacement.INSIDE) } if (tempText == "") { tempText = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[j].contents; } else { tempText = tempText + textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[j].contents; if(TextOnAngle){ if(j+1 < textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames.length){ var tempAnchor1 = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[j].anchor var tempAnchor2 = textLayer.groupItems[i].textFrames[j+1].anchor var CurrentAngle = TextAngle(tempAnchor1[0],tempAnchor1[1],tempAnchor2[0],tempAnchor2[1]) if(!(CurrentAngle <= TextAngleDeg+5 && CurrentAngle >= TextAngleDeg-5)){ //alert(CurrentAngle) tempText = tempText + '\r' } } } } }; //var newText = textLayer.textFrames.add() newText.contents = tempText
};
textLayer.groupItems.removeAll()
//gets the angle of the text
function TextAngle(x1,y1,x2,y2){
var xDiff = x1 - x2 var yDiff = y1 - y2 return Math.atan2(yDiff, xDiff) * (180 / Math.PI)
}
// works out if text is on an angle or not
function IsTextOnAngle(x1,y1,x2,y2){
if((x1 >= x2-0.1 && x1 <= x2+0.1) || (y1 >= y2-0.1 && y1 <= y2+0.1)){ return false }else{ return true }
}
//gets the angle of the text
function TextAngle(x1,y1,x2,y2){
var xDiff = x1 - x2 var yDiff = y1 - y2 return Math.atan2(yDiff, xDiff) * (180 / Math.PI)
}
// works out if text is on an angle or not
function IsTextOnAngle(x1,y1,x2,y2){
if((x1 >= x2-0.1 && x1 <= x2+0.1) || (y1 >= y2-0.1 && y1 <= y2+0.1)){ return false }else{ return true }
}
}
if anyone has any ideas on how i can go about working out where to insert the spaces that would be great.
thanks in advance
