Relink many files at once

$

I was wondering if anyone can help.  I'm using Illustrator CS6.  I have an artboard with 200 of the same placed file.  I now want to use this same layout for 30 other views, they are the same size, but different images.  If I relink them I have to click through each one.  I tried using a script I found on here by Carlos:

 

#target Illustrator

 

// script.name = relinkAllSelected.jsx;

// script.description = relinks all selected placed images at once;

// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;

// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;

// script.elegant = false;

 

var idoc = app.activeDocument;

sel = idoc.selection;

if (sel.length>0)

     {

        

          for (i=0 ; i<sel.length ; i++ )

               {

                   if (sel[i].typename == "PlacedItem")

                        {

     

                            var iplaced = sel[i];

       var file = File.openDialog ("open file " + iplaced.file );

                            iplaced.file = file;

                         }

               }

     }

else

     {

          alert("select at least one placed item before running");

     }

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I get an

 

error 25:  Expected: }.

Line:10

->  p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times}

 

Any Ideas?  I'm on a mac, os x 10.6.8.  and I copied the script into the script preset folder so its starting  from the drop down menu.  Don't think I'm leaving anything out.  I'm swapping 1 placed(linked) PDF for another.

 

 

Thanks

Marcus
