Hello all,

Is there a way to count no of textframes on a page having same label in
one go.

All I am trying is below:

var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
var myTotalPage = myDoc.pages.length;
for (var i=0; i<=myTotalPage-1; i++)
{
var sect_frames=0;
var totalTextFrames = myDoc.pages[i].textFrames.length;

//Now look for the textFrames with label "sections"s
for (var t=0;t<totalTextFrames;t++)
{
//check for labels
var Text_FRAME = myDoc.pages[i].textFrames[t];
var frame_label = Text_FRAME.label;
if(frame_label=="sections")
{
sect_frames++;
}
}
$.writeln ("Total number of sections frames on :"+myDoc.pages[i].name+ "
are: "+sect_frames);

}

This gives me the correct no of textframes with "sections" label on page
but I need on the fly to check if the "sect_frame" count is greater than 1
get the geometric bounds of each labeled frame and compare them. I do not
require to do anything if the count of labeled frame is one.

May be something like

if(sect_frames>1)
{
// Do something here.
}
}
if I do

//check for labels
var Text_FRAME = myDoc.pages[i].textFrames[t];
var frame_label = Text_FRAME.label;
if(frame_label=="sections")
{
sect_frames++;
$.writeln("GB of frame on page
"+myDoc.pages[i].name+" is :
"+myDoc.pages[i].textFrames[t].geometricBounds+"\n");
}

It gives the GB of textframe whose occurrence is 1 on a page and not
desirable.

I tried something below, which selects the correct no of frames but I am
not able to find the selection count.

var totalSectFrames = myDoc.pages[i].textFrames.item("sections").select();

Thanks,
--PC
