CHAPTER 6: Text and Type Exporting Text and Setting Text-Export Preferences 78 with(app.taggedTextExportPreferences){ //Options for characterSet: //TagTextExportCharacterSet.ansi //TagTextExportCharacterSet.ascii //TagTextExportCharacterSet.gb18030 //TagTextExportCharacterSet.ksc5601 //TagTextExportCharacterSet.shiftJIS //TagTextExportCharacterSet.unicode characterSet = TagTextExportCharacterSet.unicode; //tagForm options: //TagTextForm.abbreviated //TagTextForm.verbose tagForm = TagTextForm.verbose; } You cannot export all text in a document in one step. Instead, you need to either combine the text in the document into a single story and then export that story, or combine the text files by reading and writing files via scripting. The following script demonstrates the former approach. (We omitted the myGetBounds function from this listing; you can find it in "Creating a text frame" on page 71," or see the ExportAllText tutorial script.) For any format other than text only, the latter method can become quite complex. if(app.documents.length != 0){ if(app.documents.item(0).stories.length != 0){ myExportAllText(app.documents.item(0).name); } } Here is the ExportAllText function referred to in the preceding fragment: function myExportAllText(myDocumentName){ var myStory; //File name for the exported text. Fill in a valid file path on your system. var myFileName = "/c/test.txt"; //If you want to add a separator line between stories, set myAddSeparator to true. var myAddSeparator = true; var myNewDocument = app.documents.add(); var myDocument = app.documents.item(myDocumentName); var myTextFrame = myNewDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add( {geometricBounds:myGetBounds(myNewDocument, myNewDocument.pages.item(0))}); var myNewStory = myTextFrame.parentStory; for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.stories.length; myCounter++){ myStory = myDocument.stories.item(myCounter); //Export the story as tagged text. myStory.exportFile(ExportFormat.taggedText, File(myFileName)); //Import (place) the file at the end of the temporary story. myNewStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File(myFileName));
