Dear fellows scripters, 

I write this script to clear all text frames with some porperties 



 
loop through all frames 
	IF this frame 
		is a text frame AND 
		((contents is empty) OR (contents = carriage return)) AND 
		fill color is none AND 
		stroke color is none AND 
		text wrap is none  
	THEN delete this frame. 





Here is the complete script: 



-- 
property idCR : " 
" -- a carriage return 

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set allFrames to all page items of active document 
	repeat with aFrame in allFrames 
		if (class of aFrame is text frame) and � 
			((contents of parent story of aFrame = idCR) or (contents of parent story of aFrame = "")) and � 
			(name of fill color of aFrame is "None") and (name of stroke color of aFrame is "None") and (text wrap of aFrame is none) then 

			delete aFrame 

		end if 
	end repeat 
end tell 
--  



Thanks to Shane Stanley 

Olivier.
